Tempo is a Rust-based blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin payments, built on the Reth EVM execution SDK with sub-second finality via Simplex consensus. It provides TIP-20 stablecoin token standards, stablecoin-denominated gas, batched/scheduled transactions, compliance policy enforcement, and SDKs, a wallet CLI, an indexer API, and an MCP server for AI agents.

Use cases

  • accept stablecoin payments in my app
  • issue my own stablecoin with compliance controls
  • run a blockchain node for payments
  • let AI agents make on-chain payments
  • batch payroll or settlement payouts atomically
  • pay blockchain gas fees in USD stablecoins
  • query blockchain transaction data with SQL

When to choose

  • building payment infrastructure, fintech platforms, or PSPs that need high-throughput stablecoin transfers
  • you need built-in compliance policies, transfer memos for reconciliation, and sub-millidollar fees
  • you want EVM compatibility with payment-first features like fee sponsorship and scheduled payments
  • you are building agentic payment flows (MPP) or AI-driven transactions

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose smart contract chain with a mature DeFi ecosystem
  • you require non-USD stablecoin fee support today (on-chain FX is still coming soon)
  • you want a fully decentralized, permissionless network with a long track record
  • your project depends on established L1s/L2s with broader tooling and liquidity
