Tempo mainnet launched today. Fast. Reliable. Predictable.
Tenderly platform is integrated with the new payments-focused chain from day one with full support across Node RPC, Virtual Environments, Transaction Simulations, Debugger, and Alerting.
We announced our integration with Tempo last month, following support for the Andantino and Moderato testnets. That post focuses on what Tempo is building and why it matters. Now with the Mainnet going live, Tempo builders are equipped with Tenderly to build, simulate, monitor, and scale the chain designed for real-world payments.
From testnet to mainnet
During the testnet period, teams across the Tempo ecosystem were stress-testing payment flows, validating stablecoin routing through the native DEX, and pressure-testing contract behaviour under conditions that mimic real production load. Tenderly's tooling was part of that process from the start.
Simulations helped catch edge cases in stablecoin transfer logic before they ever hit the network. The Debugger traced execution paths through payment lanes and DEX interactions when things didn't behave as expected.
That groundwork is what makes a confident mainnet launch possible. The contracts, the integrations, and the payment flows that teams built and tested over the past months are now going live with real value at stake.
What's live on mainnet
Every Tenderly product that was available on testnet is now operational on Tempo Mainnet:
Node RPC provides reliable, low-latency access to the Tempo network. For payment applications where a missed or delayed RPC call can mean a failed transaction, this is foundational. Tenderly's globally distributed infrastructure pairs well with Tempo's sub-second finality to keep payment flows responsive and consistent.
Virtual Environments now support forking Tempo Mainnet state. This means you can take a snapshot of the live network, including deployed contracts, token balances, and liquidity positions, and develop against it in a private environment. Test upgrades, simulate new integrations, or replay production scenarios without touching mainnet.
Transaction Simulations let you preview any transaction before it executes on mainnet. With real funds in play, the ability to dry-run batch payouts, stablecoin transfers, and DEX swaps before committing them is no longer a convenience. It's a requirement.
Debugger provides full execution traces for mainnet transactions. When a payment flow fails or produces an unexpected result, you can step through every state change to find exactly where things went wrong. On a chain where transactions settle in under a second with no reorgs, having clear visibility into what happened and why is essential for maintaining reliability.
Alerting and Monitoring enables real-time monitoring of your deployed contracts and payment infrastructure on Tempo. Set up alerts for failed transactions, abnormal gas patterns, or specific contract events. For payment applications, catching issues as they happen (rather than discovering them during reconciliation) is the difference between a minor blip and a user-facing incident.
Why this matters
Tempo is the first chain we've integrated that was designed from the ground up for payments. Dedicated blockspace for payment transactions, gas fees paid in stablecoins, built-in DEX for stable asset routing, and structured metadata for reconciliation. They're core to the protocol.
That design philosophy is reflected in who's building on Tempo. The ecosystem includes over 40 infrastructure partners, with partners like Deutsche Bank, Visa, Mastercard, Shopify, and others validating real payment workloads against the network.
Purpose-built for high-throughput, scalability, and privacy, Tempo is now equipped with the industry-leading developer tools. Having the right developer tooling from day one means teams can move into production with the same confidence they had during testing.
