đ¸đ¤Tetherâ¤ai: Peer-to-Peer Intelligence is Coming
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has officially confirmed the imminent launch of Tetherâ¤ai â a fully open-source AI runtime built for decentralized, censorship-resistant computation. Unlike OpenAI or Gemini, Tetherâ¤ai requires no API keys, no central cloud, and no kill-switch.
The system is designed to run directly on local hardware â phones, servers, satellites â forming an autonomous peer-to-peer mesh of AI agents. Each agent can reason, transact, and evolve independently across the network.
What makes it radically different:
â No centralized API or control layer
â Integrated with USDT and BTC payments via WDK
â Built for modularity: agents can compose themselves into DAOs, bots, or autonomous dApps
â Interoperable with Keet and Holepunch protocols
Use cases include:
â Self-hosted trading bots
â Distributed moderation agents
â Autonomous crypto treasuries
â AI wallet advisors with native USDT capabilities
Ardoino hints at an early developer release this summer, with public mainnet expansion by Q4 2025. A full dev environment will be available via GitHub with prebuilt templates for LLMs, toolchains, and on-chain wallets.
With OpenAI tightening access and Anthropic moving to gated APIs, Tetherâ¤ai poses a different question:
Are you ready to run AI that no one can turn off?#AMAGE
