Tempo Data: Index Payments and Stablecoin Activity

Index Tempo's stablecoin payments, contract events, and machine-payment activity in one pipeline, decoded and delivered to your own database. Real-time and complete historical data, no node to run.

Tempo is a payments-first Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for stablecoins, incubated by Stripe and Paradigm. It is EVM compatible on Paradigm's Reth execution client, pairs Simplex consensus for roughly 0.6-second deterministic finality with no re-orgs, and adds payment-native primitives: dedicated payment lanes, stablecoin gas paid in any major dollar token through a built-in Fee AMM under the TIP-20 standard, programmable accounts with passkeys, fee sponsorship, and batch payments, and the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) for autonomous machine-to-machine and AI agent settlement. You can read how the team frames it at tempo.xyz.

That payment volume is the data problem. Tempo is a high-throughput EVM chain where stablecoin transfers, contract events, and decoded calls move continuously, and reconciliation against that flow demands a complete, gap-free record. Indexing Co covers Tempo in a single pipeline, decodes the raw chain into the shape you want, and delivers it to your own PostgreSQL, warehouse, or webhook. Real-time and full history, with no node to operate.

Why Tempo data is hard

Stablecoin Payment Volume Tempo is purpose-built for real-world payments, so stablecoin transfers and settlement events are the dominant activity on the network. Capturing every payment in real time, at payment throughput, without falling behind the sub-second chain head is a standing ingestion problem.

Stablecoin Gas and the Fee AMM Tempo has no volatile native gas token. Fees are paid in major stablecoins through a built-in Fee AMM under the TIP-20 standard, which converts between supported tokens automatically. Fee abstraction changes how transactions and fee accounting read, and a naive EVM scraper misses that structure when it assumes one native gas asset.

Machine Payments and Smart Accounts Tempo ships the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) for machine-to-machine and AI agent settlement, plus programmable accounts with fee sponsorship and batch transactions. These add account and payment structure that generic transfer scraping does not capture on its own.

Your Own DB, Not a Hosted API Generic RPC endpoints and hosted query APIs leave you rate-limited and renting someone else's schema. Powering a payments product or analytics workload on Tempo means owning the data in your own store, shaped the way your application queries it.

What Indexing Co delivers for Tempo

The DIY Path

Stand up and maintain the whole stack yourself.

Run a Tempo node or wire up a third-party RPC.
Fetch and decode logs, traces, and receipts against the right ABIs.
Handle stablecoin gas, the Fee AMM, and per-protocol event schemas by hand.
Build backfill, reorg handling, and real-time delivery from scratch.

Indexing Co

One pipeline sources, decodes, and delivers Tempo to your store.

Stablecoin transfers, contract events, and decoded txs in a single pipeline.
Decoded data, shaped by your JavaScript transform.
Lands in your PostgreSQL, BigQuery, warehouse, or webhook.
Real-time delivery plus complete backfilled history. No node, no RPC babysitting.

What you can index

EVM data type	On Tempo, for example
Token transfers (ERC-20)	Stablecoin payment and settlement transfers
Contract events and logs	Merchant checkout, payroll, and remittance contract events
Decoded transactions and traces	Stablecoin-gas transactions, Fee AMM swaps, and machine payments
Protocol and account state	Account balances and liquidity pools

A transform, not a subgraph

You write the transform in JavaScript, not AssemblyScript, and change it without re-indexing from block zero. Indexing Co runs your function over each block server-side: decode the logs you care about and return rows for your destination.

// Indexing Co transform: reshape each block into rows for your database
function transform(block) {
  const results = [];
  const signatures = [
    'event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 value)'
  ];

  for (const tx of block.transactions || []) {
    for (const log of tx.receipt?.logs || []) {
      const event = utils.evmDecodeLogWithMetadata(log, signatures);
      if (!event) continue;
      results.push({
        chain: block._network,
        block: Number(block.number),
        tx_hash: tx.hash,
        token_address: log.address?.toLowerCase(),
        from: event.decoded.from,
        to: event.decoded.to,
        value: event.decoded.value,
      });
    }
  }
  return results;
}

Tempo with Indexing Co

Run it yourself if

You want full control of node infrastructure and have the team to operate a Tempo node, decode every protocol's ABIs, handle stablecoin gas and Fee AMM accounting, and build backfill and reorg handling in-house.

Use Indexing Co if

You want Tempo stablecoin transfers, contract events, and decoded transactions delivered to your own database for payments reconciliation and analytics, with real-time plus complete history and no infrastructure to run.

FAQ

Do I need to run a Tempo node?

No. Indexing Co sources Tempo blocks, logs, and traces for you, including full historical data, so you never operate a node or babysit an RPC endpoint.

Can Indexing Co handle Tempo's payment volume?

Yes. The pipeline is built to capture high-throughput ERC-20 and stablecoin transfers in real time without falling behind the sub-second chain head, which is exactly the load a payments-first L1 produces.

Does Indexing Co handle Tempo's stablecoin gas and Fee AMM?

Yes. Because Tempo is EVM compatible, we decode its transactions, logs, and traces directly, including transactions that pay gas in stablecoins and route through the Fee AMM, so fee accounting stays correct.

Where does the Tempo data go?

Into your own destination: PostgreSQL, BigQuery, a warehouse, or a webhook. You define the output schema and own the storage.

Can I get complete historical Tempo data?

Yes. We backfill from your chosen start block and merge it with real-time data, so your Tempo dataset is gap-free, which is what payments reconciliation requires.
