Sam Altman, known for leading OpenAI, is expanding his social network World, which has 25 million users in over 100 countries. Recently launched as World 3.0, it aims to create a "Super App" similar to platforms like WeChat, incorporating features like a human-centric app store for "Mini Apps". These are everyday applications designed for easy human use, allowing anyone to create them. To incentivize developers, a "Developer Rewards" program will distribute $300,000 monthly in World’s native currency, WLD tokens, during its initial three-month pilot phase.
On Thursday, World announced a new "Developer Rewards" pilot program that will begin on April 1. The program will distribute the equivalent of $300,000, paid in WLD tokens - World's native digital currency, which converts to $0.85 per token - on a monthly basis to qualifying app developers over a three-month pilot period.
World defines these as "everyday apps optimized for real humans." Anyone can build a Mini App, which runs within the World App, and integrates with a user's World ID - their unique digital code - wallet, and contacts.
While he may be best known as the CEO of OpenAI, behind the scenes, he's been building World, a new social network. The app is available in more than one hundred countries, including the United States, and is used by nearly 25 million humans.
In October, it unveiled its latest version, World 3.0, which it bills as a "Super App" for humans, akin to China's WeChat or Latin America's Rappi.
