How WLD Micropayments Work on WorldFans

The Revolution: Instant, Borderless Creator Payments

Traditional creator platforms make you wait 21-30 days for payouts. They take 20-45% of your earnings. They can reverse payments due to chargebacks. And they can freeze your account at any moment.

WorldFans changes everything with WLD micropayments:

• Instant: Payments arrive in seconds, not weeks
• 95% to Creators: The highest revenue share in the industry
• No Chargebacks: Crypto payments are final and irreversible
• Borderless: Send and receive from anywhere in the world
• Low Fees: Near-zero gas costs on Worldchain

Understanding WLD (Worldcoin)

WLD is the native token of the Worldcoin ecosystem. It's the currency used for all payments on WorldFans. Here's what you need to know:

• WLD is an ERC-20 token on Worldchain (an Ethereum L2)
• You store WLD in your World App wallet
• WLD can be bought, sold, and traded on major exchanges
• Current price fluctuates—check live rates before transactions

Gas Fees on Worldchain

Worldchain is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network, which means:

• Transaction fees are minimal (fractions of a cent)
• Transactions confirm in seconds
• Security is backed by Ethereum

The user sending the payment covers gas fees, which are typically less than $0.01.

Why No Chargebacks Matters

On traditional platforms, fans can dispute charges with their credit card company, resulting in chargebacks. This means:

• Creators lose the money they already earned
• Platforms may freeze creator accounts
• Creators face fees for each chargeback
• Scammers exploit the system

With WLD on WorldFans:

• All transactions are final
• No one can reverse a payment
• What you earn, you keep
• No fraud protection needed because there's no fraud mechanism

Security Best Practices

• Never share your World App recovery phrase
• Always verify the amount before confirming transactions
• Only tip creators you trust
• Remember: sent WLD cannot be recovered
