Tools for Humanity expands World app toward super-app model

Cointelegraph
Tools for Humanity is evolving its World app into a super-app by adding encrypted messaging, financial services, and third-party mini-apps.

Summary

Tools for Humanity, co-founded by Sam Altman, is expanding its World platform toward a super-app model by integrating new features like end-to-end encrypted messaging and financial services. The update allows users to send digital assets within chats and supports third-party mini-apps for predictions, games, and financial tools within conversations. The World App has also broadened stablecoin support to include USDC and EURC, and introduced yield products offering high rates on holdings, powered by the Morpho DeFi protocol. Furthermore, users in Argentina can now use QR codes to pay over a million merchants, and 18 countries gained access to US dollar virtual accounts via Bridge for receiving wages and spending USDC. This move positions World alongside other companies, like Elon Musk's X and Coinbase, attempting to build comprehensive 'everything apps' popular in Asia via models like WeChat.
