Summary

Tether has introduced a Developer Grants Program aimed at encouraging products built on its open-source software stack. The initiative offers payments ranging from $1,500 to $4,000 per task, with rewards available in USDT or Bitcoin. According to the announcement, the program covers work on wallet infrastructure, browser plugins, e-commerce payments, and WDK-based non-custodial wallet (user-controlled crypto storage) tools. The program is designed to support practical crypto infrastructure, particularly tools that help developers and users interact with digital payments and self-custody systems more easily.

Terms & Concepts
  • Non-custodial wallet: A crypto wallet that lets users control their own private keys rather than relying on a third party to hold funds.
  • USDT: A U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Tether, commonly used for crypto trading and payments.
  • Open-source stack: A set of publicly available software tools and code that developers can use, modify, and build on.
