Sam Altman’s World Introduces Chat and Cryptocurrency Payment Features
World (formerly Worldcoin) has introduced "World Chat," a new feature in its app for iOS and Android. This feature allows users to connect, chat, and send cryptocurrencies like USDC to verified individuals within the World Network.
Key aspects of World Chat include:
- Currently in beta with over 100 mini apps available.
- Integration with other mini apps to enhance user engagement.
- End-to-end encryption for privacy protection.
- Users must undergo an iris scan for identity verification to access certain features.
World is focused on providing a secure platform compared to competitors like Telegram, which allows anonymous use but has faced issues with criminal activities. Users not verified will have limited visibility in chats.
World's unique proposition lies in its ID verification process, while also addressing global money transfer challenges through crypto payments.
