Now: testnet complete, customer-held keys, read-only pilots
Every lane runs end to end on testnets through one ledger, one saga engine and one reconciliation engine. See Evidence. Done on 3 October 2026:- Customer-held signing. One signer interface for Tempo, Base and Solana; AWS KMS adapter built and tested; the Tempo treasury signs through it. See Keys and signers.
- Issuer-neutral stablecoins. USDT, PYUSD (Token-2022) and EURC alongside USDC and pathUSD.
- Read-only pilot. Watch-only observers for Tempo, Solana and Base, matching against the customer’s payout records, exceptions and CSV. See Read-only pilot.
Next: mainnet
1
Mainnet float
Fund the generated mainnet wallets (Tempo vault, Base relay, Solana vault) with a small USDC float. Keys are generated locally by
pnpm mainnet:wallets and never leave the machine.2
Live bridge leg
Run
across.bridge Tempo → Base on mainnet with micro-amounts. Quotes are already verified live; the adapter is the same code on testnet and mainnet.3
Live partner leg
A Paj business API key turns the Paj adapter on; the key is in place and verified read-only against live NGN rates (
pnpm paj:check). Paj settles on Solana, so a naira payout is two Across hops: Tempo → Base → Solana → Paj → Nigerian bank.4
Mainnet shielded funding
near.swap from Base USDC to ZEC through NEAR Intents, delivered straight to the vault’s unified address (NEAR Intents has no Tempo market).Then: design partners
- Read-only pilots first: 60 days on the wallets a licensed payout company already runs, then routing on its own signer.
- EUR → NGN with licensed payout companies first, then KES and GHS.
- NGN → CNY / HKD for importers on the same integration.
- Additional spokes per region: candidates include Yellow Card, Kotani Pay, Bitnob, HoneyCoin and Busha in Africa; licensed Hong Kong payment institutions, Nium and Conduit for Asia; Bridge, Bitso Business and Pix partners for the Americas.
Production hardening
Known gaps
Solana and Base gas are not booked yet
Solana and Base gas are not booked yet
Tempo vault gas is booked from the chain (each fee is a TIP-20 transfer to the Fee Manager). SOL and Base ETH fees on the egress and relay wallets are not yet observed and booked.
Lease fencing
Lease fencing
A worker whose lease expired mid-leg could still finish its call. Legs are idempotent through the memo lookup, so the chain is never double-spent, but a fencing token on bookings would make this airtight.
Across testnet
Across testnet
Across has no Tempo testnet deployment, and its testnet CCTP relayer did not complete a Base Sepolia → Solana devnet mint. Testnet uses a simulated fill with the same interface; mainnet uses the live bridge.
