Tether announced that 15 Bitcoin mining companies, ASIC manufacturers, and mining pools have pledged to jointly build and maintain the open-source Mining Development Kit (MDK) to unify mining infrastructure access and support AI automation systems. Participants will develop MDK Workers to convert hardware, mining pool, or system interfaces into universal interfaces. Tether's QVAC mining agent has already integrated with its mining infrastructure using MDK. MDK version 0.11 will be released at the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano on October 23-24, with the first stable version 1.0 planned for release by the end of 2026. (Source: Tether News)
