what's Tether AI?

Tether AI is a decentralized, open-source AI platform developed by Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin. It enables AI agents to run locally on user devices without cloud servers, logins, or centralized control, while integrating peer-to-peer interactions with cryptocurrencies like USDT and Bitcoin. The platform supports self-custodial wallets and programmable money for autonomous machine-to-machine transactions, emphasizing privacy and censorship resistance. Key components include tools like QVAC for privacy-focused apps (e.g., health) and WDK for building unstoppable wallets compatible with Bitcoin, Lightning, USDT, and other assets. Tether AI aims to power networks of billions of AI agents handling economic activities on-chain, bridging AI with blockchain for a future of decentralized intelligence.

Tether AI received a strategic investment from Tether at a $1.5B valuation.
