Launching Tempo

Bridge was one of the first companies to use blockchains to solve core payments problems. During our journey, we’ve seen how even the most performant blockchains struggle with basic financial services use cases.

I'll never be against anyone trying something new in a free market. Competition makes everyone level up and serve the market better. But it's a bit odd to say this consortium chain is "borrowing the Ethereum ethos" when it's the opposite of cypherpunk. Bankcoins are of course not cypherpunk itself, but at least on Ethereum they are in proximity & competition with ETH, wBTC, algostables and other stores of value. Do customers want to trade-off the "right to exit to decentralized stores of value" for lower fees?
