According to BlockBeats, Tether launched a developer grant program on May 11, offering USDT or Bitcoin rewards ranging from $1,500 to $4,000 per task. The program has no total funding cap and distributes rewards based on technical deliverables.
The initiative focuses on Tether’s open-source technology stack, including wallet infrastructure, browser extensions, and e-commerce integrations, with emphasis on its local AI platform QVAC. QVAC enables on-device AI inference without relying on cloud servers, reducing latency and data exposure risks. Tether also plans to expand its Wallet Development Kit (WDK) ecosystem, which allows developers to embed self-custodial wallets directly into applications, enabling local key generation and transaction signing without dependency on custodial services.
