Coinbase and Tether Launch Blockchain AI Tools for Developers
Coinbase and Tether launched blockchain and artificial
intelligence (AI) tools to enhance privacy and autonomy in decentralized
networks. According to the companies, the tools aim to improve how developers
interact with blockchain technology by giving users more control and privacy.
Tether announced the local AI development kit at the
Lugano Plan ₿ conference. The software development kit enables developers to create peer-to-peer (P2P) AI applications compatible with various devices, including low-cost mobile phones and high-end
servers.
Tether’s AI SDK Focuses on Privacy
Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, highlighted that the SDK
is highly modular and can support different models like Marian and Llama,
customizing AI functions to various needs. More importantly, all data and
processes run on-device, ensuring privacy by keeping everything decentralized
and secure within the P2P infrastructure.
Yesterday at @LuganoPlanB I presented a preview of Tether’s Local AI development kit, privacy focused, powered by peer-to-peer technology 🍐🍐Write the code once, and run everywhere, from a 40$ phone, to a flagship smartphone, from a laptop to a mainframe with many H100, from a… pic.twitter.com/L0Uz2P7BKg

As the development continues, Tether plans to release
this AI kit as open-source software, offering the blockchain community tools to
build private and scalable AI applications to improve decentralized
interactions. Meanwhile, Coinbase introduced a different kind of
innovation with its Based Agent platform, which is designed to create autonomous agents capable of operating on the blockchain.
Developed by Lincoln Murr using the Coinbase Developer
Platform (CDP) and Openai’s language model, Based Agent enables users to build
on-chain agents in minutes, offering hands-free operation for blockchain tasks.

The platform also supports essential on-chain actions
like balance checks, ETH testnet requests, and asset transfers. These
functionalities allow developers and non-technical
users to experiment with autonomous blockchain operations, creating a
frictionless experience for executing smart contract transactions and other
decentralized actions.
Introducing Based Agent: create AI agents with full onchain functionality on @base in less than 3 minutes.The era of Autonomous Onchain Agents is here Built with @CoinbaseDev SDK, @OpenAI , and @Replit oh, and you can make it an @X bot too 😉 pic.twitter.com/RgbXp290bV

According to the two companies, Tether and Coinbase’s recent launches highlight the growing convergence of AI and blockchain
technology. Tether focuses on enabling privacy and peer-to-peer applications, while
Coinbase aims to create autonomous agents that can independently execute
blockchain tasks.
The fusion of AI with blockchain could significantly
improve the way decentralized systems function, opening up new possibilities for
automation, privacy, and user autonomy.
