According to The Block, blockchain developer Kartik Patel has launched Anon World, a social platform based on Farcaster that focuses on anonymous interaction. Anon World is built on the Farcaster protocol and expands upon Patel's earlier project, Anoncast. It introduces an interface similar to Reddit, promoting community-driven discussions while maintaining user anonymity. The core of the platform's architecture is the mandatory use of credentials based on Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK), which are stored locally in users' browsers without collecting any metadata or wallet information. This means that users must hold specific ERC20 tokens in order to post messages. Initially, the platform supports ERC20 tokens on the Base network but plans to expand support for other blockchain networks and types of credentials.
