Tempo's Core Principles - Tempo aims to be a permissionless chain, allowing anyone to deploy tokens and transact from day one [1] - The network plans for permissionless validation, smart contract deployment, and usage, similar to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, starting with a permissioned validator set for initial operation and gradual decentralization [2] - Tempo will incorporate features to facilitate compliance for entities interacting with the blockchain while maintaining base layer neutrality [3] Rationale for L1 - A decentralized validator set is deemed necessary for global payments to ensure neutrality and foster trust among numerous partners [5] - Building on L1 provides more independence and reduces dependencies on Ethereum L1's progress [6] - Prioritizes fast finality, multiple validators, and custom transaction lanes and gas pricing, which might be complex or slow to implement on an L2 [7] Vision and Goals - The goal is to onboard mainstream entities onto permissionless crypto rails for specific payments needs [4] - The project focuses on building the right product for crypto payments, avoiding crypto tribalism [6] - The company supports permissionless crypto, including Ethereum L1 scaling, L2s, and Bitcoin as a monetary asset, aiming to facilitate real-world payment flows on crypto rails [8]
