Worldcoin & Rewards
How do I use Earn?
Earn is a feature in World App that, where available, lets you deposit supported assets into on-chain lending protocols and track the rewards they generate over time. By depositing supported assets, such as Worldcoin (WLD), Digital Dollars (USDC), Ethereum (wETH), or Bitcoin (wBTC), you can automatically track earned rewards with no complicated setup or external apps.
Where Earn is supported
Earn is available in selected countries, and availability may vary by region. If the Earn feature does not appear in your Wallet tab, it may not be supported in your location.
To start earning:
- Open the Wallet tab and tap Earn.
- Choose a Program (e.g., Worldcoin, Digital Dollars (USDC), Ethereum (wETH), Bitcoin (wBTC)).
3. Tap Deposit, enter the amount, and Confirm.
4. Your rewards will update over time and appear in the Earn dashboard.
5. You can request to withdraw your assets anytime (the precise timing and pricing of your exit may depend on on-chain liquidity and protocol conditions).
Understanding APY
The reward rates you see are shown as APY (Annual Percentage Yield). The Total APY is a snapshot estimate calculated using the weighted average of your current APY rates across all programs where you have a balance in Earn. It is shown for informational purposes only.
The reward rates are variable, meaning they can go up or down, are subject to change at any time, and your balance may also change in value. The rates you receive vary depending on the rates of the protocol provider Morpho, the amount of assets you hold in each program, and any promotional rates. World App displays the current APY rate before you deposit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the rewards come from?
World App uses Morpho, a decentralized protocol that helps find the most competitive on-chain lending rates. Everything happens automatically in the background, using on-chain lending protocols selected by Morpho, so you can deposit and track your rewards without managing the underlying DeFi steps yourself. As with any on-chain activity, there are risks, including smart contract and market risks.
Human boosted rewards are promotional rewards for World App users who are World ID verified. These boosts are limited to the first 1000 WLD and first 1000 USDC in the Earn program. A full list of available rewards can be viewed on the third-party website, Merkl.
Do I need another wallet?
No. Everything is accessible directly from your World App.
Is Earn the same as the WLD / USDC Vault?
No, Earn is different and separate from the WLD and USDC Vaults. Earn is an additional feature in World App available to track your on-chain rewards.
How long do deposit/withdrawal transactions take?
Deposits and withdrawals are typically processed within a short time on-chain, but actual timing can vary based on network conditions, liquidity, and transaction fees.

How do invite rewards work?
Overview
When you invite friends to World App, you can earn rewards once they verify their World ID. Invite rewards are issued as Points, added to your balance in the World ID Rewards Mini App. Availability varies by country, and eligibility requirements may apply.
How do invite rewards work?
Share your unique invite code with friends who haven't yet joined World App and verified their World ID. Once your friend verifies their World ID with an Orb using your code, you'll receive your reward as Points in your World ID Rewards Mini App balance, usually shortly after they complete verification. In select countries, the invitee may also receive a reward - check your app to see what's available in your location.
Conditions
You will be eligible to receive an invite reward only if your friend:
- Enters your invite code before booking their Orb verification appointment
- Completes World ID verification at an Orb
- Meets all eligibility requirements
If your friend doesn't meet these requirements, a reward can't be granted for that invite.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many friends can I invite?
You can share your invite code with as many people as you like. The number of invites that earn a reward varies by person. You can see how many reward-eligible invites you have in the Invites Mini App. Once you reach your limit, additional invites won't earn further rewards.
Is there a reward for Credential referrals?
Credential referrals are no longer part of the Invites program. Invite rewards now apply to World ID verification with an Orb only.
How do I track my rewards?
- Open World App
- Open the Invites Mini App
- Tap Rewards to view your referral progress and rewards available to claim
Why didn't I receive my reward?
Rewards are granted only when your invited friend meets all eligibility requirements - entering your code before their appointment and completing Orb verification. If they don't qualify, a reward won't be issued.
Why don't I see the Invites option in my country?
Invites are available only in select countries. If the feature isn't available in your location, the option won't appear in your app. To check what's available to you, open World App.
Disclaimer: Invites rewards are offered at our sole discretion and are not available in all countries or to all users. The program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. To learn more, please refer to our Terms.

What is a Dollar Vault?
Overview
Dollar Vault is available to World ID-verified users. The Dollar Vault allows you to deposit USDC into an account as part of your non-custodial World Wallet. You may also be able to earn yield on USDC from third-party providers.
You are able to store your USDC in one of two account types:
- Vault: Your USDC are locked via a decentralized smart contract until you choose to unlock them. You may earn yield from third-party providers.
- Spending: Your USDC are ready for daily transactions.

How is Yield Generated?
Yield is generated from deposits into the Sky Protocol. When you deposit into Dollar Vault, you are swapping Digital Dollars for sDAI using a decentralized smart contract.
sDAI is a token that represents the value of the Dai Savings Rate (DSR), which is offered to depositors in the Sky Protocol. The yield generated by sDAI is directly tied to the Dai Savings Rate, which can fluctuate over time.

Earning Rewards in Worldcoin Vault

As seen in this example, if the maximum amount is 500 WLD, any WLD amount over 500 WLD in your Vault will not earn rewards:
These requirements will be stipulated on the Worldcoin Vault display within World App, as will the current rewards rate when you deposit WLD.
Note: The World Foundation may cancel this rewards program or change the rewards rate at any time.

Updates to the Airdrop Program
⚠️ Update as of June 1, 2026: WLD Airdrop cycles are no longer being created or renewed. At present, if you have an active cycle, you can continue claiming monthly WLD until it ends. Once your cycle ends, no new cycle will be created.
Overview
The Airdrop Program granted WLD tokens to unique humans who verified their World ID. At present, eligible users who enrolled before June 1, 2026 and claimed their first airdrop can continue claiming their monthly WLD portions until the end of their 12-month cycle.
Eligibility to continue claiming monthly WLD airdrops depends on the type of verification completed before June 1, 2026:
- Orb Verification: Provides the highest level of certainty that a user is a unique human. This option offers the highest amount of WLD.
- Credential Verification: Verification of an NFC-enabled passport or government ID as a Credential in World App. Credential verification provides a lower level of certainty, which means fewer tokens than Orb verification
Users who completed both verification types may be eligible to claim the highest combined token amount.
-
How to Claim WLD Airdrops
These steps apply to users with an active airdrop cycle (enrolled before June 1, 2026).
1. Open the Worldcoin Mini App in World App.
2. Claim your monthly portion: WLD becomes available to claim once a month, on the same date you first verified your World ID. You have one month to claim before the next airdrop becomes available, or before your 12-month cycle ends.
3. Verify: Tap Verify to confirm your World ID and complete the claim. The token status will change to Claimed when done.
