Show HN: A playground to test stablecoin gas fees and concurrent txns on Tempo
Hi HN,
I built *Tempo Playground*, a small hands-on playground to explore Tempo’s transaction model for real-world payments.
The goal was to make Tempo’s ideas tangible instead of just reading documentation.
*What you can try right now:*
- Pay transaction fees in *any USD-denominated stablecoin* (no native gas token required)
- Execute *concurrent transactions* from the same account (parallel execution)
- *Batch multiple calls* into a single atomic transaction
*Some early observations:*
- Gas costs are around *$0.001 per transaction*
- Finality is roughly *0.5s*, which feels close to web2 UX for payments
*Link:* https://tempo-playground.vercel.app https://tempo-playground.vercel.app
It’s intentionally minimal and still rough around the edges.
I’d love feedback on:
- What else would you want to test to evaluate a payments-focused chain?
- Any edge cases or stress scenarios you think I should explore next?
Happy to answer technical questions or share implementation details.
