CHAINS

Tempo

Tempo is the newest network Tab settles on and the cleanest fit for the model. Gas sponsorship is a first-class protocol feature, so there isn't an external relayer to trust. paying for someone else's gas is built into the consensus rules.

Stablecoin

αUSD is Tempo's native stablecoin. Tab settles into αUSD wallets directly; conversions to or from other stablecoins are out of scope for the protocol.

Why this chain is interesting

  • No relayer middleman. The chain itself sponsors gas for whitelisted programs. The router doesn't need a backing EOA topped up with native tokens.
  • Sub-second finality. Settlement is faster than any optimistic L2 we ship to.
  • Stablecoin-native. Fees can be denominated in αUSD, so even on-chain accounting is one currency.

Contract addresses

  • TabRouter: tempo:0x… (deploy pending)
  • TabBotRouter: tempo:0x… (deploy pending)
  • αUSD: tempo:0x…

Notes

Some details of the Tempo deployment differ from the EVM deployments (the router contract registers as a sponsored program, for instance). The user-facing API is identical, none of this leaks into the dashboard or the API responses.
