For task guides and interactive walkthroughs, browse [Developer guides](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/development). ## Connect to Tempo ### Connect and test Choose a network, configure your RPC endpoint, and fund a test account. [Network details](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/quickstart/connection-details) [Testnet faucet](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/quickstart/faucet) ### Bring an Ethereum application Check execution differences and the RPC methods supported by Tempo nodes. [EVM differences](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/quickstart/evm-compatibility) [JSON-RPC reference](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/protocol/rpc) ### Run your infrastructure Operate your own Tempo node or find a provider for your application. [Run a node](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/guide/node) [Infrastructure providers](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/partners/rpc-and-nodes) ### Follow the protocol Read the specifications and track network upgrades. [Protocol specifications](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/protocol) [Network upgrades](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/protocol/upgrades) [Tempo source code](https://github.com/tempoxyz/tempo) ## How Tempo differs from Ethereum * **Fees use stablecoins.** There is no native gas token. Choose a supported USD-denominated TIP-20 token or [sponsor the fee](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/network/fees). * **Transactions support payment workflows.** Use [atomic batches, access keys, and independent nonces](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/guide/tempo-transaction) through Tempo SDKs. * **Tokens have payment features.** [TIP-20 Tokens](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/network/tokens) support transfer memos, issuance roles, and transfer policies. * **Execution has some differences.** Review [EVM differences](https://tempo.xyz/developers/docs/quickstart/evm-compatibility) before porting a wallet or contract, especially native-balance checks and gas estimates.
