Paolo Ardoino unveils Tether WDK for peer-to-peer wallet infrastructure

Paolo Ardoino, Chief Technology Officer of Tether, introduces the Wallet Development Kit (WDK), marking a new venture in cryptocurrency wallet technology.
WDK is positioned to be the first fully open-source and self-custodial wallet infrastructure, designed to be ''unstoppable'' and ''100% configurable''. It will utilize peer-to-peer (P2P) swarms to sync nodes and broadcast transactions, potentially reshaping how cryptocurrency transactions are executed and verified.
Ardoino highlights that the new technology will empower developers to create more robust and individualized wallet solutions, leveraging the decentralized nature of P2P systems. Rumble Wallet, a noted player in the digital wallet ecosystem, is also embracing WDK for its development plans, underscoring the industry's interest in advanced, customizable crypto wallet solutions.
