The DeFi Layer Arrives on Tempo. Powered by RedStone.

Table of Contents

RedStone’s role on Tempo is expanding from FX infrastructure for payments into the data layer underpinning lending markets, risk management, and institutional DeFi activity.

TL;DR:

  1. RedStone, a leading blockchain oracle provider, is expanding its role on the Tempo chain from powering FX payments to supporting a full DeFi lending stack.
  2. Morpho, a major lending protocol with $7.45B TVL, has launched on Tempo with markets curated from day one by Gauntlet and Sentora, two top DeFi risk teams.
  3. RedStone supplies comprehensive price feeds across stablecoins, FX, BTC wrappers, and selected RWAs, enabling institutional-grade, asset-specific lending markets without compromising on risk management.
  4. With a track record of zero mispricing incidents across 200+ protocols, RedStone positions itself as the trusted data layer for Tempo’s emerging institutional DeFi ecosystem, with feed coverage set to grow as Tempo attracts more builders and capital.

From Payments to Full-Stack Finance

When RedStone launched on Tempo in March, the initial requirement was straightforward: reliable FX infrastructure for a chain built around real-world payments. Real-time pricing for how capital actually moves across settlement rails, treasury systems, and cross-border flows.

That foundation held.

Today, Morpho is live on Tempo. Gauntlet and Sentora are curating. The next layer was always going to be lending markets. Payments infrastructure attracts capital. Capital requires leverage, yield, collateralization, and risk management. Morpho’s launch is the first clear signal that this transition is underway.

Tempo is a chain built around real-world payments, with partners including Anthropic, DoorDash, Mastercard, Nubank, OpenAI, Ramp, Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, and Visa. Real capital needs lending markets. Lending markets need an oracle infrastructure that risk managers trust at the data layer, not just the protocol layer.

That is where RedStone sits.

What RedStone Is Providing

The feeds RedStone is providing for Morpho on Tempo span the full set of assets that curators need to build credible markets:

USDC, EURC, cbBTC, cUSD, GUSD, pathUSD, sUSDe, syrupUSDC, USDT0, WBTC

Together, these cover stablecoin, FX, BTC-wrapper, and RWA-backed markets. This is not a narrow deployment focused on a handful of core pairs. The feed coverage spans stablecoins, FX-denominated assets, BTC wrappers, and yield-bearing collateral from day one. It is the complete asset coverage that Morpho’s curators need to operate from day one, without waiting for feeds to catch up to the product.

Why the Curators Chose RedStone

Gauntlet and Sentora manage risk across billions of dollars in DeFi lending markets. They apply the same scrutiny to the data layer underpinning their vaults that they apply to the markets themselves. Oracle selection is fundamentally a risk management decision.

For Gauntlet, the combination of precise stablecoin, FX, and yield-bearing feeds was what made day-one market launches at full breadth possible.

For Sentora, which focuses on institutional DeFi, the standard is clear: risk management and resilient infrastructure are non-negotiable for enterprises integrating DeFi into their products.

Ecosystem Momentum Is Not Accidental

RedStone’s presence on Tempo from block one reflected a clear assumption: a payments chain built with institutional distribution and enterprise connectivity would inevitably require sophisticated financial infrastructure on top of it.

Being first to a chain is only valuable if the infrastructure holds when it matters. RedStone currently powers oracle infrastructure for more than 200 protocols across DeFi and institutional environments, including lending markets, perpetuals, stablecoins, RWAs, and tokenized financial products. Across those deployments: zero mispricing incidents.

That track record is what makes Gauntlet and Sentora comfortable curating on a new chain from day one.

What Comes Next

Tempo is still early in its market structure formation. The chain has already established its core identity: payments-first infrastructure designed around enterprise-grade financial flows. What is emerging now is the financial layer that naturally forms on top of that foundation.

Morpho’s modular architecture enables isolated markets tailored to specific asset profiles, risk parameters, and compliance constraints. For a chain increasingly attracting enterprises, fintechs, and financial institutions, that flexibility is the difference between a generic liquidity pool and a lending environment that aligns with institutional operational realities.

RedStone’s feed coverage on Tempo will expand as the ecosystem grows. The asset set live today is the foundation. As Tempo attracts more builders and more capital, the data layer will build with it.

The DeFi layer on Tempo has arrived. The infrastructure was already there.
