Tether AI, the new artificial intelligence platform from stablecoin giant Tether, will support payments in major cryptocurrencies including USDt and Bitcoin.
CEO Paolo Ardoino announced via X on May 5th the imminent launch of Tether AI—a platform designed to deliver "infinite personal intelligence." The system will integrate peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions using USDt and Bitcoin, enabling direct user payments without intermediaries.
Key Features of Tether AI
- Decentralized Infrastructure: No API keys or centralized checkpoints; fully open-source AI runtime on a P2P network.
- Hardware Agnostic: Adaptable to any device or hardware configuration.
- Cryptocurrency Payments: Native support for USDT and BTC via Tether’s Wallet Development Kit (WDK).
P2P Crypto Payments Enabled by WDK
Tether’s open-source WDK (launched November 2024) will power P2P transactions, allowing developers to build self-custody wallet applications for mobile, desktop, and web. This eliminates reliance on third-party custodians while ensuring full user control over assets.
"In coming decades, AI will become part of the universe’s very fabric."
—Paolo Ardoino, referencing Isaac Asimov’s vision for AI.
Tether’s Strategic AI Expansion
The initiative follows Tether’s December 2024 announcement of an AI-focused website slated for Q1 2025. Recent moves include:
- Tether Data Division: Launched April 2024 to advance AI and P2P projects.
- AI Applications: Under development (e.g., AI Translate, Voice Assistant, Bitcoin Wallet Assistant).
