AnonCast founder launches completely anonymous social platform Anon World on Farcaster

According to BlockBeats news on January 3, Kartik Patel, a developer of Block, launched Anon World, a social platform based on Farcaster, focusing on anonymous interaction. Anon World is built on the Farcaster protocol and expands Patel's early project Anoncast, introducing a Reddit-like interface that promotes community-driven discussions while maintaining user anonymity. The core of the platform architecture is the mandatory 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 to post. The platform initially supports ERC20 tokens on the Base network, but plans to expand to support other blockchain networks and credential types.
