World App integrates Blockaid to bolster security for users

As a seasoned crypto investor with years of experience navigating the digital asset market, I find the integration between Blockaid and World App highly promising. Having personally suffered losses due to security breaches and phishing attacks in the past, I appreciate the proactive steps being taken by companies like Blockaid to enhance the overall security infrastructure of the crypto ecosystem.


In a recent announcement, Blockaid – a security platform operating on the blockchain and boasting partnerships with heavyweights like Coinbase, Stellar, and Metamask – unveiled its collaboration with World App, the personal wallet service from the World Network.

This integration is designed to strengthen security for users of World App and its creators. The wallet, built by Tools for Humanity and crucial to the World Network (WLD), will offer additional advantages to mini-app developers and digital asset market explorers, as Blockaid explained in a press release they shared with crypto.news on November 26th.

World App provides functions such as World ID, enabling network participants to authenticate their personal identities in an anonymous manner. This aspect empowers novices to interact with the decentralized financial system, all the while safeguarding their privacy and security.

Going beyond just securing the front-end, Blockaid focuses on detecting and mitigating on-chain dangers such as phishing scams, cryptocurrency heists, smart contract breaches, and other potential attacks. In October, Blockaid joined forces with Stellar (XLM), offering enhanced security to their network against these risks. Additionally, during the same month, Blockaid teamed up with Immutable for similar purposes.

At present, Blockaid is securing interfaces for wallets such as Lobstr and Freighter. Through its collaboration with World App, it provides strong security for those using decentralized applications. Ever since its debut in 2022, Blockaid has been providing technology aimed at safeguarding projects and users from potential threats by malicious entities.

The platform has helped secure assets worth more than $200 billion and scanned over 5 billion transactions.

Based on Blockaid’s claims, their technology could potentially save up to $300 million each month from potential losses. Last September, they announced that they successfully thwarted a potential loss of $700,000 using the “Angel drainer” method.

Coinbase, Stellar, and Metamask are prominent cryptocurrency platforms leveraging Blockaid’s technological advancements. This venture-capital funded platform secured a $33 million investment from Ribbit, Variant, Sequoia, and other investors.
