Blockchains still broadcast every transaction publicly. Every stablecoin payment leaks the amount, the sender, and the recipient. We’re excited to share that Tempo is building Zones for businesses that need privacy: private blockchains that are interoperable with the rest of Tempo for stablecoin use cases like payroll, treasury, and settlement.

Congrats on copying Ethereum L2s 🤣 This is similar to ZKsync Prividiums, Scroll Cloak, etc, but the liquidity benefits of Tempo L1 are much worse than Ethereum. Also, IMO this should only count as confidentiality, not privacy, since the operator can see all my transactions.

Privacy on blockchains today usually comes with a bad tradeoff. Public chains expose sensitive business data despite pseudonymity and most private systems give up interoperability and shared liquidity or create operational complexity. Zones are built to give businesses privacy without cutting them off from the rest of Tempo.

Each Tempo Zone is run by a trusted operator such as a financial institution that processes transactions and sees all activity by design. Users can see their balances and transactions, and operators can provide privacy for their users while retaining familiar access controls for their teams.

Tempo Zones keep assets connected to Tempo Mainnet. Transactions inside a Zone stay private from the public, while funds still move across Mainnet, other Zones, onramps, offramps, and onchain liquidity. For example, a payroll company can run payroll on a zone, while still letting its employees access international offramps.

Funds stay locked on Tempo Mainnet and can only be withdrawn by the user who owns them. Tempo’s compliance tooling including allowlists, blocklists, and freeze rules continue to apply across every Zone.

Today, we’re building Zones in close collaboration with a small number of design partners serious about privacy that want to use stablecoins in their businesses. If you’re exploring stablecoins and want to learn more about how we’re building Zones or become a design partner, reach out to us.

hey thats awesome but is it true tempo operators can still see all acitvites and also censor them based on their own compliance reasons cause thats an awesome larp of privacy and even blockchain :)

I’m sorry but why does this need to be a blockchain? If I wanted to use something that’s centralized and can be frozen at any time I’ll just use legacy payment rails

If you want real cryptography, come to Privily. Tempo is supported.

This is the worst privacy solution so far *this is not privacy

What is the difference between this and a validium?

🐸🐸🐸

@antonttc every payroll transaction leaking amounts on-chain is a real problem. nothing usable has filled the gap since tornado cash went down

How is this different than a Prividium?

@xcomerc20 is not about privacy! It's about insider trading. Nothing else.

are these mini evm single sequencers or can it be a custom state machine?

@tempo dit you know hathor:native, you get private transactions right in the public chain. No fragmentation, no UX nightmare.

So l2s?

privacy at the protocol layer is what we need and @zano_project has built that. need a private stable coin? @freedomdollar5 is your answer. you're welcome.

Predictable move

this is called an intranet, congrats

Love the visualization

Most enterprise privacy solutions force a tradeoff: compliance OR confidentiality. Locking funds on Mainnet while keeping zones operator-visible is a clean way to thread that needle. Watching this closely🧐🧐🧐

Shielded ?

Privacy Larp, woohoo

huge

Nice, you should grab domain!

Awesome.

@web3privacy 👀🤔

Looks like tornado cash with some edits

This is the bit people keep skipping.

…. also check out upcoming @MPP32_dev for the MPP side of things 🫱🏾‍🫲🏻🔥

InterNull provides better privacy than tempo and that too without creating a separate chain. Creating separate chain to provide privacy is easy as you control the chain and therefore control who sees what. All you had to do was create partnerships with companies who will use it and that was because backers like paradigm. Users don’t have to bridge assets to temp to achieve privacy . You need to build protocol that creates privacy on chain where user assets exist.

Great 🫰

guys, how to join? want to try

Privacy looks good here !

sir you know @Starknet ?
