On January 3rd, according to The Block, blockchain developer Kartik Patel launched Anon World, a Farcaster-based social platform focused on anonymous interactions. Anon World is built on the Farcaster protocol and extends Patel's earlier project, Anoncast, by introducing a Reddit-like interface that promotes community-driven discussions while maintaining user anonymity. The core of the platform's architecture is to enforce the use of zero-knowledge proof (ZK) based credentials, which are stored locally in the user's browser and do not collect any metadata or wallet information. This means that users must hold specific ERC20 tokens in order to post. The platform initially supports ERC20 tokens on the Base network, but plans to expand to support other blockchain networks and credential types.
