what's Lynx?

Lynx is a blockchain payments protocol designed to enable fast, cheap, and borderless value transfers, particularly in the agentic AI era where autonomous agents handle transactions. Launching initially on Tempo—a Layer 1 blockchain optimized for high-throughput stablecoin payments and backed by Stripe—Lynx serves as a foundation for dynamic applications beyond basic transfers. It is multi-chain, prioritizing Solana for its liquidity and community, with showcase features planned on MegaETH for speed. Currently self-funded and in v0 development, Lynx undergoes rigorous testing and security audits before MVP release. The protocol emphasizes "BYOA" (bring your own agent) native infrastructure, transforming manual payments into automated, creative use cases while avoiding sterile transaction experiences. Community engagement via early user cohorts is upcoming.[[5]](https://tempo.xyz/)
