As Tempo launches its payments-first Layer 1, we're excited to announce that Range supports Tempo across both our Stablecoin Explorer and Faraday - delivering full visibility and execution infrastructure for Tempo’s stablecoin flows from day one.

Tempo announced its first public testnet yesterday, with a launch expected in the coming weeks.

This integration means builders, fintechs, and institutional teams working with Tempo now have immediate access to industry-grade tools for transaction monitoring, routing, compliance, and risk management.

What is Tempo?

Tempo is a new Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin payments - designed to bring real-world money movement onchain at scale. Incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, it is built for developers, fintechs, and global businesses looking to build faster, cheaper, and more transparent payment rails.

Tempo departs from general-purpose chains by focusing narrowly on the features that payments infrastructure needs:

• Users can pay gas fees in stablecoins rather than volatile native tokens, removing a key friction in everyday transactions.

• The network is optimized for high throughput and sub-second finality, supporting thousands of payments per second without congestion.

• Its low and predictable fees make it viable for cost-sensitive, high-volume use cases like payroll or remittances.

• Each transaction can have structured memo fields, making it simple to reconcile payments against existing ERP, TMS, and accounting systems

• Developers benefit from EVM compatibility and a simplified, payments-focused API layer that’s easy to integrate.

• The protocol is designed to support multiple stablecoins and issuers without lock-in, enabling broad coverage across jurisdictions.

Tempo is designed for real-world payments at internet scale - from merchant payouts and fintech wallets to global remittances and embedded finance. Its focus on execution speed, fee simplicity, and developer accessibility makes it one of the most purpose-aligned chains for stablecoin infrastructure.

Stablecoin Explorer: Real-time transaction tracking for Tempo

Tempo’s testnet is now fully integrated into the Stablecoin Explorer (explorer.money) - Range’s real-time monitoring and intelligence tool tracking every stablecoin transaction, on every chain.

From the day Tempo is launched, the Stablecoin Explorer will give users:

• Real-time transaction visibility across all stablecoin transactions on Tempo

• Tracking all stablecoin assets on Tempo, including USDC and USDT

• Analytics on Tempo’s overall volume, broken down by asset, and visibility into cross-chain flows

• Transaction data enrichment, displaying names of known entities, onchain protocol,s and bad actors

The Stablecoin Explorer is the only transaction monitoring platform built specifically for stablecoins, supporting almost 200 stablecoins across every major chain and bridges - now including Tempo.

Users can monitor their cross-chain stablecoin transactions in real time, including multi-hop transactions, all displayed on a single page. Teams using the explorer can track usage across bridges, protocols, wallets, and counterparties in one place - whether for compliance, audits, product analytics, or investigation workflows.

Faraday + Tempo: Safer, compliant routing into a payments-first chain

As well as our Stablecoin Explorer, Faraday - our transaction engine for stablecoin flows - will support routing and risk-screened execution into and out of Tempo from day one.

Tempo is built for performance and simplicity - but many businesses operating in regulated environments still require additional infrastructure for compliance, risk management, and cross-chain routing. That’s where Faraday comes in.

With this integration, Faraday can support routing stablecoins into and out of Tempo, connecting it to major chains including Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Cosmos, and more. All transfers executed through Faraday include pre-execution compliance checks, including OFAC, FATF, and jurisdiction-specific screening. Faraday also runs real-time wallet risk scoring - assessing every destination address for exposure to sanctioned entities, suspicious flows, or behavioral red flags before a transaction is signed.

Tempo-native stablecoins - whether issued or bridged - will be fully supported within Faraday’s routing system. Behind the scenes, Faraday aggregates liquidity and paths from multiple aggregators and bridges, choosing the optimal route while enforcing security and compliance guarantees inline. Teams get one API for quoting, execution, screening, and logging - without needing to integrate and maintain 3-4 different services.

For builders on Tempo, Faraday is a natural complement. It enables Tempo-native apps to support inflows from other ecosystems, screen counterparties and flows in regulated use cases, and maintain a unified audit trail across all transactions - without fragmenting infrastructure. Whether you're a wallet onboarding new users, a fintech handling regulated payouts, or a protocol managing cross-chain treasury flows, Faraday helps you meet enterprise requirements without increasing integration overhead.

Building real-world stablecoin infrastructure, together

Range and Tempo share a long-term vision: that stablecoins will become the default medium for internet-native payments - but scale, safety, and simplicity must be built-in.

By integrating Tempo from day one, we’re ensuring that businesses adopting this new chain have access to the intelligence, compliance tooling, and infrastructure observability needed to operate in real-world environments - where regulations apply, counterparties matter, and trust is earned.
