Address derivation

Turnkey supports Tempo address derivation with ADDRESS_TYPE_ETHEREUM.

Transaction construction and signing

During Tempo’s testnet period both transaction types are signable with Turnkey, though policy engine support differs:
  • Ethereum legacy transactions with full parsing & policy support
  • Tempo transactions with only raw payload signing and limited policy support.

Examples

We have an example repository that demonstrates how to construct and sign Tempo transactions: Legacy Ethereum transactions on Tempo can be utilized on Turnkey with viem and ethers.

Tempo Network Support

Turnkey supports:
  • Tempo Mainnet (TBA)
  • Tempo Testnet

Key Features for Tempo

  • Out of the box Legacy EVM TX support: Turnkey fully supports the legacy transaction type on Tempo
  • Native gas sponsorship: Our example repository provides a reference implementation for building transactions with Tempo’s native gas sponsorship
