Simply copying and pasting Layer 2 deployment models won't work on the World Network. The most successful builders are those creating Mini Apps from scratch. This approach works because Mini Apps have unique characteristics, specifically:
We are excited to see Mini Apps leverage World ID and World’s distinctive features:
Specifically, we want to see more innovation in the following categories:
Value Distribution: The killer use case of the World network is leveraging Proof of Human to distribute value. This category is very broad, value can be discount codes, free trials, memecoins, stablecoins, or other assets.
The single most popular mini app today is ORO which distributes one token to each human every 24 hours. Credit (by Divine Research) is a Mini App that uses Proof of Human to distribute loans. Deals is a Mini App that offers one-time-use discounts. This category is ripe for continued expansion. Specifically we want to see more use cases using Proof of Human to distribute value via tokens.
Attention: The internet is run by bots and algorithms. Proof of Human enables the measurement of actual human attention. We’d love to see ad networks leverage this to return value to users. Billboard and Frame are two early examples of this. We’d also like to see experimentation using Proof of Human to curate social feeds.
Payments: Whether it’s peer-to-peer, on-ramping and off-ramping, or merchant payments, the World ecosystem has the network effects and functionality to be the default platform for global payment applications. Builders can create apps leveraging the social graph, proof of personhood, free gas, and tokens on World Chain to make payments as simple as possible. Mini Apps like El Dorado and Add Money make moving money easy. We want to see more ways to spend and onboard money to the World App.
AI agents: World is the only network on which AI agents can know if they are interacting with a human or another bot. This unlocks experimental design spaces for agent-human interactions. We’ve seen games leverage this like “Humans vs. AI” leverage this to create novel interactions. The SuperHero Mini App helps people earn money by leveraging AI.
Micro-Earning: Proof of personhood unlocks polling, surveys, data labeling, and many other micro-earning opportunities that require verified humans (ideally with some work history and reputation scoring). Builders can create permissionless protocols that enable onchain work with instant payments. Work is a Mini App facilitating freelance and Survey Bull enables earning by participating in market research.
