Tempo FAQs
What is Tempo?
Tempo is a Layer 1 blockchain designed for high-volume payments, especially stablecoin transfers. It is described as EVM-compatible, which means it is intended to work with Ethereum-style applications and tools.
How much does Tempo cost to use?
Tempo’s exact current fee schedule is not confirmed. Fixed fees have been described as a design goal, but check the current network documentation for actual charges and any conditions before transacting.
Is Tempo live, and does it have a token?
A report dated December 10, 2025 said Tempo’s testnet had gone live. That does not confirm that a public mainnet is available or that testnet assets have value; verify the network status before connecting a wallet, and use test funds until you know what network you are on.
