Tempo is an EVM-compatible chain with no native gas token. All transaction fees are paid in USD stablecoins. LayerZero deploys EndpointV2Alt on Tempo instead of the standard EndpointV2, with LZEndpointDollar (LZD) as the fee token. LayerZero fees are paid through ERC-20 transfers instead of msg.value.

Developing on Tempo: Tempo’s EVM has higher opcode costs than standard EVMs, and fork testing requires Tempo’s Foundry fork. See the Tempo developer docs for more info.

Tempo uses EndpointV2Alt, a variant of the LayerZero Endpoint designed for chains without a native gas token. See the EndpointV2Alt concept page for protocol-level details. For questions, join the LayerZero Discord.
