World App has introduced a wide-ranging update that combines encrypted messaging, self-custodial digital asset management, global payments, and human-verification mechanisms.

From an infosec perspective, notable elements include XMTP-secured messaging, end-to-end encryption without metadata collection, self-custody of assets, and privacy-preserving age and identity assurances designed to limit impersonation without exposing personal data.

The platform raises broader questions around trust models, biometric verification, and how security controls scale globally.
