I used to identify as an efficient and productive person. Then newborn life gave me a 30 minute window and suddenly I’m a Fortune 500 operations team with spit up on my shirt.
Today @stripe, @visa and @ZodiaCustody by Standard Chartered have joined as validators on Tempo.
These organizations collectively process trillions of dollars in payments every year across nearly every country in the world. As some of the largest institutions in global payments, they maintain infrastructure at massive scale and have deep experience with the reliability and uptime standards that payments demand, bringing that same technical excellence to validate the Tempo network.
We'll continue expanding the validator set with additional partners on our path to permissionless validation.
Tempo Mainnet is live! Starting today, anyone can build on Tempo through our public RPC endpoints.
Alongside mainnet, we’re introducing the Machine Payments Protocol, an open standard for machine payments.
The current spike only highlights how much oil prices have lowered under @realDonaldTrump.

Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface.
Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return.
The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox.
The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal.
Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space.
We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction.
The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.
@milan_milanovic I mean junior and mid-level engineers in 90% of the companies can’t push code without a review or sign off from someone more senior but OK
