Paolo Ardoino Releases Demo of Tether’s New Wallet Building Kit, Says Tech Will Power ‘Billions of Wallets’
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino says the company’s new wallet building kit will soon be available and open to all developers as he releases the product’s demo.
In a new thread on X, Ardoino says that the wallet development kit (WDK) will have the ability to store Bitcoin ( BTC ) and gas-fee abstraction, which removes the need for users to hold specific tokens to pay for blockchain transactions.
He expects the wallet development kit to launch in about one month.
“Here is a demo of the (Wallet Development Kit) WDK template wallet.
- Build 100% on WDK by Tether.
- Well encapsulated reusable UI (user interface) components.
- Soon open source.
- Fully non-custodial (supports different seed backup strategies to enable super simple user-experience).
- Available for any platform/os both mobile and desktop.
- Implements USDT, USDT0, an extremely comprehensive set of DeFi (decentralized finance) primitives (lending, swapping…).
- Security audited.
- Clone, add your customizations, build and release to your community.”
Ardoino also predicts that Tether’s new wallet-building kit will play a massive role in future crypto applications.
“WDK by Tether will be the building block for billions of wallets.”
Says the project’s website ,
“WDK is a developer-first framework to create cross-chain wallets that are secure, extensible, and production-ready. It provides a single, stateless API to interact with Ethereum, Bitcoin, TON, and Spark (Lightning Network) – abstracting blockchain-specific complexity while keeping developers in full control of keys and data.”
