Zone structure
Admission contract
Defines who can transact; anchored to a KYB decision from the operator.
Private state tree
Balances and transactions committed as opaque commitments; only Zone participants can resolve.
Bridge
Value enters and leaves through public stablecoin issuance; enforces admission and AML controls.
Three-step flow
Deposit
rem.zone.deposit() moves funds from Tempo Mainnet into the Zone. Sender and amount public; recipient and intent stay in Zone.Capabilities
- Encrypted intra-zone transactions — opaque to everyone except Zone participants and the operator
- Non-custodial — REM can view for compliance but cannot move, freeze, or confiscate
- EVM-compatible — existing Solidity, wallets, and tooling work unchanged
- TIP-403 compliance — policies defined on Mainnet replicate to the Zone automatically
- Mainnet-interoperable — withdraw to Mainnet anytime; liquidity pools unified
- Multi-token — supports any TIP-20 token (USDC and others) across multiple zones
Trust model
| REM (Operator) CAN | REM (Operator) CANNOT |
|---|---|
| Sequence transactions | Move user funds |
| View tx details (operator-level audit visibility) | Freeze or confiscate assets |
| Manage zone liveness | Block valid withdrawals (users exit with cryptographic proof) |
| Enforce TIP-403 policies | Share tx details outside compliance scope |
Use cases
Corporate payroll
Pay staff in stablecoins without leaking salaries to the public chain.
Treasury management
Move balances between entities and counterparties without revealing positions.
Intercompany B2B settlement
Settle at scale across subsidiaries, with policy enforcement and unified reporting.
Agentic infrastructure
Private settlement layer for fleets of agents — pricing, behavior, and cashflow remain confidential.
Quickstart
Custom solutions
Tempo Zones are not a self-serve product. Every zone is a designed deployment — REM works with you on admission, governance, bridge integration, and operator tooling.Zone design
Topology, participant model, governance, and admission rules tailored to the use case (payroll, treasury, B2B settlement, agent fleet).
Admission contracts
Custom KYB and access logic — including multi-operator setups, tiered participants, and revocation flows.
Bridge integration
Connect Zone liquidity to your existing treasury, core banking, or other Tempo Zones — including circuit breakers and rate limits.
Operator tooling
Compliance dashboards, supervised viewing, regulator access, sequencer monitoring, and incident playbooks.
