Summary

Temporal is a Solana trading-infrastructure firm founded by Ben Coverston, best known for the Nozomi transaction-sending service and the Harmonic block-building client, and reportedly linked to the large private 'dark' AMM HumidiFi. The firm has been at the center of disputes over MEV capture, validator-scoring methodology, and undisclosed ownership of trading venues; none of these disputes has produced a regulatory action or lawsuit identified in public reporting. Michael Marcantonio, a former Galaxy Digital DeFi executive, was named Temporal's CEO around late October 2026.
