The race to build the ultimate ‘everything app’ is intensifying, with Sam Altman and Elon Musk emerging as key contenders. Altman’s World app, leveraging the Worldcoin cryptocurrency, aims to create a comprehensive platform encompassing finance, social networking, and gaming. Central to Worldcoin’s ecosystem is its unique identity verification process, which involves users scanning their eyes at specialized ‘orb’ devices. The World app currently boasts a significant user base of 26 million monthly active users, facilitating messaging and cryptocurrency transactions. This ambitious project directly challenges Elon Musk’s evolving vision for X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, which is also exploring similar functionalities and integrations.
