[Tempo Launches TIP-20 Token Standard for Stablecoins and Payment Scenarios] Mars Finance reported on January 7th that the Tempo team released its native token standard, TIP-20, positioned for stablecoin and payment token applications. According to the official introduction, TIP-20, while compatible with ERC-20, adds features such as transfer notes, compliance control, and reward distribution, aiming to meet real-world payment, settlement, and fund management needs. Tempo stated that TIP-20 allows the issuance of customized stablecoins for specific payment scenarios and supports high-throughput, predictable-fee payment transactions. It also enables stablecoin trading within Tempo's native decentralized exchange. The standard also introduces mechanisms such as role-based access control and policy registry to support compliance and operational control. Official disclosures indicate that infrastructure providers such as AllUnity, Bridge, and LayerZero have begun supporting TIP-20. Tempo states that the standard is applicable to stablecoin issuers and can be extended to other fungible assets to reduce custom development costs and improve cross-scenario usability.
