Too early to adopt

Why: Tempo's payment-tuned design (sub-second finality, stablecoin gas, guaranteed payment lanes) is attractive, but a young, partner-bootstrapped/permissioned L1 with aspirational (not verified-sustained) throughput, incumbent-steered governance, and an explicit 'not proven under real-world conditions' caveat is not a foundation our ecosystem should build commerce rails on yet — and we have no current need demanding a bespoke L1.
Next: Monitor mainnet decentralization milestones (independent + permissionless validator set beyond the current company/anchor validators) and published, sustained production TPS/finality benchmarks; revisit only if MPP gains non-Tempo rails and an independent validator set materializes.

Constraints
