Tempo is a payments network that went live in March 2026. Your address starts with 0x.
It has no token of its own. Fees are paid in stablecoins, and the network converts between them automatically, so the stablecoin that paid a fee may not be the one you chose.
It is also built for software to pay for things by itself, which produces transaction counts far beyond what a person generates.

Good to know
- There is no native token here. Fees come out of whichever stablecoin the network settles them in.
- Transfers can carry a short note attached to them, which is often the only thing identifying what a payment was for.
- Automated payments can produce very large numbers of very small transactions.
A chain with no token of its own
Almost every network has a token you must hold before you can do anything, because that token pays for transactions. It is the first hurdle for any new user and the reason people end up holding small amounts of a dozen different assets.
Tempo does not have one. Fees are paid in stablecoins, the same dollar-pegged assets you were already moving around. There is nothing to acquire in advance and nothing left over at the end.
Two consequences for your records. The first is straightforward: every fee is a disposal of a dollar-pegged asset, so the gain on each is essentially zero. They still belong in a complete record; they are just not going to change your numbers.
The second is subtler and worth watching. The network converts between stablecoins when settling fees, which means the asset that paid may not be the one you selected. If your records assume the two always match, they will occasionally name the wrong asset. The amounts are small, but the principle matters if you hold several stablecoins and care which one moved.
The other thing to know is what this chain is for. It was built so that software can pay for services on its own, without a person approving each payment. That works, and it produces transaction volumes no human generates: thousands of tiny payments, each with a fee. Reconstructing that by hand is not realistic, and the short notes attached to transfers are often the only thing identifying what each one was for, so they are worth preserving. For how payments and disposals are treated where you file, see the USA crypto tax guide or the UK crypto tax guide.

Paying fees without a native token
There is nothing to buy in advance. Fees come out of the stablecoins you already hold.
Reconciling automated payments
Software paying for services by itself generates a very high number of tiny transactions, which is impractical to review individually.
Using payment notes to identify transfers
Transfers can carry a short note. On a payments network that is often the only record of what a payment was for.

Fees are stablecoin disposals with almost no gain
Because fees are paid in dollar-pegged assets, each one disposes of something whose value barely moves. Still reportable, but the gain on each is close to nothing.
The fee may not come from the asset you picked
The network converts between stablecoins when settling fees, so the asset disposed of can differ from the one you selected. A record that assumes they match will name the wrong asset.
Keep the payment notes
The short note attached to a transfer is frequently the only thing distinguishing a business payment from a personal one, and there is no way to reconstruct it later.
Automated payments are still your transactions
Where software pays on your behalf, those payments are yours. Volume does not change that, though it does make manual reconstruction impractical.

There is not one. Tempo settles fees in stablecoins instead.
The network converts between stablecoins when settling fees, so that is expected.
That is normal if you use automated payments. Kryptos groups them rather than making you review each one.
