Tether AI, the new artificial intelligence platform from the stablecoin giant Tether, will accept payments in USDT and Bitcoin.
Tether AI, the new artificial intelligence platform from the stablecoin giant Tether, will accept payments in major cryptocurrencies, including USDT and Bitcoin.
Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, went to X on May 5 to announce the upcoming launch of Tether AI, the company's new artificial intelligence platform designed to provide "infinite personal intelligence."
According to Ardoino, Tether's AI platform will integrate USDT payments
allowing users to conduct transactions directly through a peer-to-peer (P2P) network.
The initiative builds on Tether's December 2024 announcement that it was developing a website for the AI tool, aiming to launch it by the end of the first quarter of 2025.
Support for "any hardware and device"
Ardoino emphasized that Tether AI will not use application programming interface (API) keys nor will it rely on centralized checkpoints.
Instead, Tether AI will offer a "fully open-source AI runtime" that will run on an "unstoppable peer-to-peer network," and will be "fully modular and composable."
Additionally, Tether AI will be able to adapt and evolve on "any hardware and device," he said.
P2P crypto payments will be enabled with WDK
The announcement also stated that Tether AI's P2P crypto payments would be "infused" with its open-source wallet development kit (WDK), launched in November 2024.
Tether's WDK is a toolkit that enables developers to create mobile, desktop, and web wallet applications, allowing for self-custodied or non-custodial holding of USDT and Bitcoin
