The world’s largest stablecoin issuer, Tether, launched an open-source wallet development kit (WDK) to enable businesses and developers to integrate non-custodial wallets into any website or app — and it’s even designed to work with AI agents. 
On Nov. 11, Tether <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://tether.io/news/tether-unveils-wdk-simplifying-non-custodial-usd-and-bitcoin-integration-for-developers/" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">announced</a> the launch of its WDK, which it described as a modular software development kit “designed to empower businesses and developers to seamlessly integrate non-custodial wallets and user experiences for USDT and Bitcoin in any app, website, and device.”
The WDK was designed to support both human users and “embrace new digital beings like <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/training-vs-testing-data-in-machine-learning" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">AI agents</a>, robots and autonomous systems,” the firm said.&nbsp;
Key features of the WDK include giving users full control over non-custodial assets, eliminating reliance on third-party custody solutions and a simplified setup process.&nbsp;

He said that it was compatible with all systems “from embedded devices to mobile, from laptop apps to websites, and from AI agents to robotic brains.”
He added that it will initially support Bitcoin (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">BTC</a>) and Tether (<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/tether-price-index" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/tether-price-index">USDT</a>) but will be expanded to offer “UI templates for any platform to build any non-custodial user experience.”
