Mars Finance reports that on March 20, Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero (who previously joined Tempo) clarified five misconceptions about MPP. Dan stated that MPP is not only for Tempo, and the protocol is unrelated to payment methods. It supports cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies, and any blockchain. It has now been extended to Bitcoin Lightning Network, with a draft for Solana expansion already available. Regarding usage costs, MPP itself has no inherent fees; the specific costs depend on the blockchain or fiat channels used. In terms of openness, MPP is designed to be simple and scalable, and has been submitted as a web standard to IETF. Additionally, MPP supports both Pay-per-request and session-based modes, with the latter suitable for continuous small payments requiring API speed. Dan also emphasized that MPP separates secure HTTP communication from payment channels, and does not rely on specific smart wallet implementations or stablecoins.
