Tether said 15 bitcoin mining companies, ASIC manufacturers and mining pools have committed to jointly build and maintain integrations for its open-source Mining Development Kit, or MDK. The company said the toolkit is designed to standardize how different mining infrastructure is accessed, giving developers a common way to build applications and AI automation systems across varied environments. Under the plan, participants will develop and maintain MDK Workers that convert their own hardware, pool or system interfaces into a shared interface. Tether said this approach does not require participants to replace their existing technology, and each party can decide which functions to expose. The company also said existing applications can use MDK to connect with different mining environments. Tether added that its QVAC mining agent has already connected to mining infrastructure through MDK. According to the company, MDK version 0.11 will be released at the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano, while the first stable version, version 1, is scheduled for launch by the end of 2026.

The company said MDK is meant to standardize access across different mining infrastructure, allowing developers to build applications and AI automation systems on top of a common framework.
Participants will maintain a common interface layer
Under the arrangement, participants will develop and maintain MDK Workers that convert their own hardware, mining pool or system interfaces into a universal interface. Tether said they will not need to replace existing technology and can choose which functions to make available.
Existing applications can also use MDK to connect with different mining environments. Tether said its QVAC mining agent has already connected to mining infrastructure through MDK.
Release timeline
