Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino introduced The Resilience Stack at the Bitcoin 2026 conference. According to Foresight News, this infrastructure system integrates Tether's peer-to-peer communication protocol Holepunch, decentralized communication app Keet, open-source self-custody wallet toolkit WDK, and local AI development platform QVAC. The initiative aims to provide essential financial and communication services to underserved communities. Ardoino announced that Keet, previously not open-source, will be made open-source, with documentation and modules currently in preparation.

Additionally, Tether launched a Bitcoin faucet today. Users can receive a small amount of Bitcoin instantly via the Lightning Network by downloading the Tether wallet app and responding to a Tether Wallet tweet as instructed.
