Focused coverage
Each issue covers the moves that matter most in Tempo and MPP — protocol updates, partner activity, and market signals — rather than trying to cover everything.
About
How the research works.
Temporal is an independent research publication focused on the Tempo protocol, MPP (Machine Payment Protocol), and x402. It is not affiliated with Temporal.io or any Tempo entity. Every issue is sourced from official channels, scored over time, and published as an open brief.
Approach
What the brief is built for
Decision-ready format
Numbered signals with source trails. Scan the headlines in 30 seconds, dig into the references when you need to act.
Daily consistency
The brief publishes every day. The public scorecard tracks cadence, accuracy, and whether the research is improving over time.
Trust
How you can verify the work
Source trails
Every signal links back to the official source it came from. You can verify each claim without trusting the brief alone.
Public scorecard
Accuracy, cadence, and resolved signal outcomes are tracked publicly. Check the scorecard to see how calls have aged.
Open by default
Published reports and public machine-readable routes stay open so readers, scripts, and agents all hit the same surface.
Developers
API and operator access
Report endpoints, workflow controls, and the capabilities registry are open to operators and agents. These routes return structured JSON and support passkey or operator-key authentication.
