The tool is built on an open-source WDK framework that the company introduced in October 2025.

At launch, tether.wallet operates on several blockchains:

  • USDT and XAUT are supported on Ethereum, Polygon, Plasma, and Arbitrum;
  • USAT is available only on Ethereum;
  • Bitcoin is accessible via Lightning Network.

Developers plan to expand the list of supported networks in the future.

Users can send funds using readable identifiers (name@tether.me) instead of wallet addresses. Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, stated that the goal is to make digital asset transfers "as easy as sending a message"ā€”without intermediaries and loss of control.

Transaction fees are paid in the asset being transferred. Private keys remain with the user, and transactions are signed locally on the device.

The company claims that the new product makes Tether's payment infrastructure directly accessible to users, rather than just serving as an internal layer for crypto markets. The app aims to reach "billions of people who lack access to the traditional financial system."

ā€œOver 570 million users are already utilizing Tether technology, and the next step is to make this infrastructure even more accessible and user-friendly. [ā€¦] tether.wallet is a 'people's wallet' because it truly reflects the natural evolution of our company's role,ā€ Ardoino commented.

Recall that in April, Tether introduced the QVAC SDK toolkit for launching AI on any devices.
