The post World App Adds Encrypted Chat, Stablecoin Yield and USD Accounts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Tools for Humanity is broadening its World platform beyond digital identity and crypto payments, adding encrypted messaging and financial services to its app as part of a push toward a super-app model. The company, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, introduced an in-app messaging feature with end-to-end encryption that distinguishes between verified and unverified World ID accounts and enables users to send or request digital assets within chats. According to an announcement, the application now supports third-party mini-apps, including prediction markets, games and financial tools, that run inside conversations. Tools for Humanity said it plans to add optional profile photo verification to help reduce impersonation and misuse. The changes were released in San Francisco on Thursday by co-founders Altman and Alex Blania. Alex Blania, left, and Sam Altman.
