By open-sourcing the toolkit, Tether aims to foster a broader ecosystem of interoperable and non-custodial financial products. The company envisions the WDK being used to build wallets for a vast number of applications and users, including everything from human-operated payment and savings tools to a "trillion AI agents" operating in an automated financial landscape.

This move signals a strategic push to embed Tether’s assets more deeply into the fabric of the digital economy by empowering developers to innovate on top of its infrastructure. The focus on self-custody aligns with a core principle of the crypto industry, giving users ultimate control over their own assets.
