Tempo is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain created by Stripe and Paradigm. It is built for stablecoin payments rather than as a general-purpose chain for every kind of application. Project materials describe fast transactions, quick finality and low fees as the main goals, aimed at businesses and developers who need to move dollars on-chain at volume.
Our data lists no native token for Tempo. The design leans on stablecoins instead, and Tempo Fee AMM, a small exchange on the chain, supports paying network fees in stablecoins. That keeps costs easy to predict for payment use cases, but fee rules can change, so check Tempo's current documentation before building around them.
The ecosystem is early. At the time of writing, DeFi TVL is about $104.4 million across the 18 dApps we list. Most of them are established multichain protocols that have added Tempo support: Uniswap V2, V3 and V4 for swaps, Morpho Blue for lending, Gauntlet for vault risk curation, and LayerZero V2, USDT0, Across and Symbiosis for moving assets in and out. Reservoir Protocol, vfat.io, Hinkal, Backpack and the infrastructure provider Drpc round out the list. Tempo Fee AMM is the only one native to the chain, and its liquidity is tiny.
