The take
What to know
Allium is Tempo's data and analytics infrastructure partner — an indexer for querying enriched on-chain data rather than an RPC endpoint or wallet. It is listed under Tempo's Data & Analytics developer tools and supports Tempo's Machine Payments Protocol (MPP), letting developers and AI agents pay per API call in USDC. Founded in 2021, the company has raised $21.5M and indexes many blockchains beyond Tempo.
Best for
- +Querying enriched on-chain Tempo data for analytics
- +AI agents and developers paying per API call via Tempo MPP
- +Teams needing multi-chain data coverage alongside Tempo
Watch out
- It is a data/analytics layer, not an RPC or wallet provider — pair it with a Tempo RPC partner for node access.
- MPP access is pay-per-call in USDC, so high-frequency querying carries per-query cost.
