Users seeking zero-fee transfers must verify their identity by providing a phone number or biometric data.<\/p>\n<p>According to the developers, World App does not reveal user information and uses <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-a-zero-knowledge-proof\">zero-knowledge proofs<\/a> for identity verification. The app also uses account abstraction to enable third-party gas payments.<\/p>\n<p>Users without World ID can perform transactions in the app, but at a basic fee.<\/p>\n<p>The project is already integrated with several crypto services, including infrastructure providers MoonPay and Ramp. Inside the wallet, there is an asset-conversion feature implemented via <span data-descr=\\\"decentralized exchange\\\" class=\\\"old_tooltip\\\">DEX<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-uniswap-uni\">Uniswap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to Worldcoin, over 1.6 million people have installed the app&#8217;s test version, of whom more than 500,000 use it each month. Daily, World App processes about 60,000 transactions and performs more than 25,000 identity verifications.<\/p>\n<p>In March, the startup unveiled the World ID protocol and a development kit for decentralized biometric identity.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Sam Altman proposed paying users for iris scans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Worldcoin, Sam Altman&#8217;s crypto startup, has released a zero-fee cryptocurrency wallet for verified users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":78461,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"1","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1486,1223,57],"class_list":["post-78460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-biometrics","tag-startups","tag-wallets"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"17","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"1","short_excerpt":"","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78460"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78460\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78462,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78460\/revisions\/78462"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
