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.
