We use Tempo Testnet for this quickstart because it requires no gas token — transactions are paid in pathUSD stablecoins, so there’s no need to acquire ETH or SOL for gas fees. Combined with free faucet tokens, it’s the fastest way to test the full Conto flow.| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Network | Tempo Testnet |
| Currency | pathUSD (TIP-20 stablecoin) |

Framework-specific integration (OpenAI, Claude, LangChain, Python)
3. Test Payments

Moving to Production
Once your test flow works on Tempo Testnet, switching to production is straightforward:- Create a production wallet — Tempo Mainnet (pathUSD, no gas token needed), Base (USDC), or Solana (USDC)
- Fund it with real stablecoins
- Link it to your agent with production spending limits
Tempo Mainnet is the easiest production option — like testnet, it requires no separate gas token. Transactions are paid in pathUSD stablecoins directly.
