Tempo Integration Guide

Overview

Tempo is a general-purpose blockchain optimized for payments - designed for consistent gas fees, high throughput, and developer-first features that modern payment systems demand. Tempo has been built alongside design partners including DoorDash, Anthropic, and Klarna, shaping the chain around the needs of high-scale, real-world payment products. Bridge provides native Tempo support across our full product suite. If you’re building on Tempo and need fiat on/off-ramps, stablecoin issuance, wallets, or payment infrastructure, you’re in the right place.

Transfers - Onramp via multiple fiat rails as a 1st party or from 3rd party businesses, offramp to any recipient.
Liquidation Addresses - Auto-convert Tempo stablecoin deposits to fiat or other crypto
Wallets - Provision and manage Tempo wallets for your users.

FAQ

Do I need a separate Tempo account to use Bridge?

No. Bridge manages the Tempo network connection on your behalf. You interact exclusively with Bridge’s dashboard and APIs.

I'm already integrated with Bridge on another network. How much work is Tempo?

Minimal. Set blockchain as tempo in your API calls. Webhooks, error handling, idempotency — everything else stays the same.
