Tether Launches Non-Custodial Wallet Supporting Gas-Free Cross-Chain Transfers and Email-Style Addresses

Gate News message, April 15 — Tether, the dollar stablecoin issuer, announced the launch of Tether Wallet (tether.wallet), a non-custodial wallet for storing and transferring digital assets, on April 14. Users can transfer crypto and tokenized assets across multiple blockchains without needing separate gas tokens, paying fees directly with the assets being sent. The wallet also supports email-style addresses like "name@tether.me" instead of long, complex wallet addresses.

All transactions are signed on the user's device before being sent to the network. Private keys and recovery phrases remain under user control, with private keys backed up to the cloud. Tether Wallet is built on Tether's open-source Wallet Development Kit (WDK), a tool designed to help developers integrate USDT and Bitcoin-based non-custodial wallet functionality into apps, websites, and devices. Currently, over 570 million users access Tether's infrastructure through exchanges and payment systems.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said Tether Wallet represents the company's evolution from infrastructure provider to user-facing service, adding that it is designed to prepare for a future where billions of people, machines, and AI agents transact at the speed of light.
