On August 14th, Spark, the second layer protocol (L2), based on the Lightning Network (LN), was integrated into a tool created by Tether, the Wallet Development Kit (WDK).
The collaboration allows developers to create ready-to-produce wallets through a single stateless API, such as lightning, bitcoin, and stubcoin.
For developers, availability of stateless APIs (application programming interfaces) (not retaining persistent information) Simplify wallet creation.
The stateless API provided by WDK serves as a bridge that allows programmers to develop wallets compatible with Bitcoin, Stablecoins and LN without having to build all the underlying infrastructure from scratch.
This reduces the security risks associated with storing sensitive data such as private keys and encourages the adoption of rapid transactions through network lightning. For the users, meaning Access to “Intelligent” wallets According to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, it has automation capabilities.
Spark is that technology Promotes connection with applications lnthe second layer of Bitcoin (L2) that can handle fast and low-cost transactions.
In addition to acting as a bridge for LNs, Spark optimizes bitcoin scalability by allowing transfers Off-chain (Out of Chain) uses stablecoins from BTC and Stablecoins through infrastructure that supports immediate and global payments.
Tether’s WDK is a set of tools designed by developers to create wallets that allow developers to have full control over their private keys and transactional processes.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino highlighted the alliance’s purpose.
“The future is unpredictable disruption, instability, or prosperity. But WDK and Sparks allow us to build a programmable and resilient financial system that equally serves people, machines and communities. This integration makes Bitcoin Lightning truly accessible, enabling instant global transactions without complicating custody or privacy.”

On his side, Lightspark CEO David Marcus has been working on the developers. Easy route to integrating Bitcoin high speed payment networks With applications people already use.
This step enables Tether and LightSpark to enable infrastructure that combines the liquidity and stability of Stablecoins with the speed and efficiency of lightning networks, bringing real use of Bitcoin and other digital assets to more users and use cases.
