Summary

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino announced at the Bitcoin 2026 conference the launch of a Bitcoin faucet and the open-sourcing of Keet. The faucet allows users to claim small amounts of Bitcoin via the Lightning Network by replying to a Tether Wallet tweet after installing the app. Previously closed-source, Keet will now be open-sourced, with documentation and modules currently in development. This Bitcoin news represents a significant step in Tether’s broader strategy.

ChainThink reports that on April 29, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino unveiled The Resilience Stack at the Bitcoin 2026 conference, integrating 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 into an infrastructure system designed for individuals lacking access to basic financial and communication services.

Previously, Keet was not open source; Ardoino made a formal on-site commitment to drive its open-sourcing, and related documentation and modules are currently being prepared.

Tether has simultaneously launched a Bitcoin faucet: after downloading the Tether Wallet app, users can instantly claim a small amount of Bitcoin via the Lightning Network by replying to the Tether Wallet tweet as instructed.
