Tether, the leading issuer of stablecoins, has unveiled a new open-source wallet development kit (WDK), aimed at helping businesses and developers integrate non-custodial wallets into their platforms.
The kit, announced on November 11, is designed to simplify the incorporation of USDT and Bitcoin wallets into any app, website, or device, and can even support AI agents and autonomous systems.
The WDK gives users full control over their assets, removing the need for third-party custody solutions. It offers a straightforward setup process and is built to be modular, scalable, and adaptable across various platforms.
According to Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, the toolkit is “open-source, super-modular, highly scalable, and battle-tested,” ensuring compatibility with everything from mobile apps to embedded devices and even AI systems. Initially, the WDK will support Bitcoin and Tether, with plans to expand to other platforms, offering templates for creating non-custodial experiences.
Tether, which holds a dominant 68% of the stablecoin market with $124 billion in circulation, primarily operates on the Tron and Ethereum networks.
Recently, the company moved over $2 billion in USDT to Ethereum for a large exchange. Additionally, Tether’s reserves include approximately $100 billion in U.S. Treasuries, 82,000 Bitcoin, and 48 tons of gold.
