Want to experience the Tempo testnet? The design concept of this chain is quite interesting— as a payment-oriented L1, it directly uses USDC and USDT to pay for Gas fees, with no native token at all. This approach is actually very user-friendly, reducing one layer of conversion costs.

The testnet is now live, so we can quickly go through the basic operation process.

**Step 1: Configure the test network**
Open the official Tempo documentation and connect your Web3 wallet (MetaMask, Uniswap Wallet, or similar). Follow the prompts to add the Tempo Testnet to your wallet’s network list. This step is crucial; all subsequent operations must be performed on this network.

**Step 2: Obtain test tokens**
After configuring the network, go to the official faucet to receive USDC and USDT test tokens. Without these, you cannot pay Gas fees. Just request the tokens directly in your wallet, and they usually arrive instantly.

**Start interacting**
Once the network is set up and the test tokens are in your wallet, you can begin running contract interactions, deploying smart contracts, or testing DApps on Tempo. The entire process is quite smooth, especially for developers who want to experience the payment L1 ecosystem in advance.

Pay gas directly without native tokens? That's a brilliant idea, saves me from having to bother with swapping again.

Paying gas directly with stablecoins instead of native tokens? This idea is indeed brilliant, saving newbies from the knife-cutting process. Actually, this is the right approach; user experience should be like this. After testing around, the process is indeed smooth, and the leading project received the transaction instantly without any issues. The payment chain finally found a clear concept, looking forward to the mainnet launch. If this really gets rolled out, many L1s will need to learn from it. I also want to see how it handles the risk premium issue of stablecoins.

Using stablecoins directly to pay for gas without native tokens is indeed a brilliant idea, saving the trouble of exchanging coins on exchanges every time.

Paying gas directly with stablecoins? This idea is somewhat similar to a new on-chain narrative during the bottom-building phase. Not having a native token can indeed reduce the volatility of retail investors' sentiment. However, I still want to see the long-term on-chain data performance and make an early prediction of whether such projects can survive until the day when the bottom consensus is reached.
