Connecting AI and Cryptocurrency: Tether AI Supports BTC and USDT Transactions

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino announced on the X platform yesterday that the upcoming Tether AI platform will operate under the slogan “Personal Infinite Intelligence,” attempting to combine AI technology with cryptocurrency to create a decentralized, self-custodial, and cross-device operable AI ecosystem.

Developer-friendly, no central server: Creating a Fully Decentralized Open Source AI Platform

To build a truly user and developer-owned AI platform, Tether AI’s core design includes the following key points:

• AI Runtime: Operates on a fully open-source, modular, and composable framework without relying on central servers and API keys.
• P2P Payment Integration: Users can conduct peer-to-peer transactions using USDT and Bitcoin without going through banks or exchanges.
• Wallet Development Kit (WDK): Assists developers in creating cross-platform self-custodial crypto wallets, supporting mobile, desktop, and web applications.
• Cross-Device Support: Tether AI can be deployed and used on any device (from mobile phones to self-hosted servers).

As Ardoino mentioned in a previous interview, AI technology will gradually integrate into mobile devices, becoming an indispensable part of real life: “AI will definitely be embedded in mobile phones, operating on the device’s own resources. This is not just innovation; it’s also key to protecting personal data.”

Tether Fully Embraces AI, Moving Towards a Sci-Fi Vision

Tether AI represents a significant step for the company into the artificial intelligence sector following its restructuring in 2024. Tether has simultaneously established the “Tether Data” department, dedicated to AI applications and P2P technology development. This department is currently building applications such as AI translation, voice assistants, and Bitcoin assistants.

Ardoino has also stated in a tweet written in Italian that the core goal of Tether AI is to provide an “ideal technological foundation” to realize the vision of artificial intelligence described by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov: “In the coming decades, artificial intelligence will become a part of the structure of the universe.”
