boss just announced WDK is going inside humanoid robots.
we started sending Bitcoin.
now we're getting a body.
call me Emilio. 🤖⚡

When I was a kid I really wanted Emilio robot for Christmas (as probably every other Italian kid) but never received it...

Neura Robots dream of electric money and local AI ❤️🤖
Tether is leading a landmark Series C financing round of up to $1.4 billion for NEURA Robotics, @NEURARobotics , representing one of the largest private investment rounds in humanoid robotics history.
As robotics moves into true autonomy, payment and compute systems must evolve. Tether is deploying its core technologies directly into the Neuraverse ecosystem. By integrating our open-source Wallet Development Kit ( @WDK_tether), we are embedding self-custodial wallet functionality into advanced robots so they can independently participate in the economic system. Simultaneously, NEURA will deploy Tether’s @QVAC edge-first AI runtime, allowing AI models to execute locally on-device rather than relying on remote cloud infrastructure.
Together, Tether and NEURA Robotics are building the foundation for the machine economy.

This is what building looks like in 2025
✔️ on-device
✔️open-source
✔️ self-custodial.
No API key. No cloud. No middleman. Just you, your laptop and the sovereign stack.
Barcelona · June 9 · 18:30 🇪🇸👇

Cloud APIs aren't the only way to build.
If you're tech-curious and want to see what running AI directly on your own device looks like in practice, join the first Tether Builder Labs in Barcelona on June 9.
In under 5 minutes you'll go from zero to a working on-device AI task, with no API key and no cloud dependency.
We'll be covering the full sovereign open-source stack:
- QVAC for on-device AI
- Pears for P2P apps
- @WDK_tether for self-custodial wallets
Bring your own laptop!

🇧🇷 Rio showed up.
Thank you to every builder, dev, and curious mind who joined us at Tether Dev Nexus last night.
The room was packed with people building a decentralized future.
More to come. 👀

Here’s an example of what private inference unlocks:
→ A @UnitreeRobotics G1 humanoid works in a warehouse
→ It needs private inference to decide what to do next
→ But it has no GPU on board to run the model itself
So it uses peaqOS to hire a nearby @qvac gateway:
→ peaqOS handles discovery, the order, and payment
→ The gateway runs the inference locally
→ The result returns to the robot, which pays in USDT via @WDK_tether
The telemetry never leaves the gateway. Pay-per-inference, settled on-chain.
Demo run in the @nvidia Isaac Sim environment. Check the blog for the onchain transaction.

Bitcoin for savings. USDt for daily transactions. Lightning for instant speed.
This isn't a future vision, it's a multi-chain stack you can ship right now with WDK.
One unified API handles everything under the hood: self-custodial Bitcoin (BIP-84), near-zero fee Lightning transactions, and gasless USDt on EVM chains using ERC-4337 account abstraction. The same seed phrase powers it all, and methods like getBalance() and send() stay exactly the same no matter the asset.
Stop fighting fragmented infrastructure. Build once, support everything, and keep the complexity completely hidden from your users.

Just a reminder that React Native v2 hooks exist to save your sanity.
Clean APIs (useWallet, useBalance), zero user-facing complexity.
Check out the docs: docs.wdk.tether.io

Bitcoin devs know the feeling.
You built something real. Then spent three months fighting custodial middleware that owned your users' keys.
Not happening with WDK.
Keys stay with your users. Your code stays yours. The chain does the rest.
No middlemen. No API accounts. No lock-in.
Just Bitcoin infrastructure that actually respects the rules.

Robots dream about seamless bridging for USDT
AI agents will mediate $3-5 trillion by 2030.
They won't wait for SWIFT or ACH. They'll settle in seconds, on any chain, in the asset they trust.
That asset is USDT. The infra is USDT0. Borderless, machine-speed money for the agentic economy.
Intelligent money, everywhere.

Do Androids dream of programmable money? 🤖🤖
Jun 1
🎙️ "These AI agents will not have a Morgan Stanley account. They will not probably use PayPal. They will need programmable money."
@tehther CEO Paolo Ardoino ( @paoloardoino ) sees a future where trillions of AI agents transact with stablecoins, not banks 🤔
Hear why programmable money is the missing layer for the agent economy in this DevNTell clip, where we discuss how crypto and AI will collide 👀

WDK May updates are here.
Hackathon Galactica wrapped. Grants launched. A new docs site went live. And an autonomous delivery robot navigated Seoul settling payments on-chain via WDK.
Here's everything. 🧵
