🟡 IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION ABOUT CHICKENS 🐔 AND WORLD APP 🟡
Recently, there have been comments confusing what happened with the mini app Chickens and the World App / WLD project. Therefore, it is important to clearly explain what happened:
What was Chickens? - Ponzi
Chickens was an experimental mini app, like many others within the World App. It allowed users to invest virtual coins in exchange for "rewards" in the form of returns. However, this dynamic depended on new investments to keep the system running.
What caused it to collapse? - Unsustainable volume
➡️ Investments became unsustainable.
Several people began investing very high amounts (e.g. 250, 500 coins) in a scheme where initially the maximum amount was graphically 25 WLD, which caused the app to pay out more rewards than it could actually sustain.
This is like a hen laying 1 egg a day, but you promise 50 people 3 eggs daily. In the end, there is no way to fulfill that promise.
The consequence was clear: the model collapsed, and the developer or team behind the mini app had no way to respond or keep it active.
What does this have to do with WLD or World App?
❌ NOTHING. - Do not confuse
Chickens was just a mini app within the ecosystem, like an app on a smartphone. Just because one app crashes does not mean the phone is damaged.
It's like the case of GoArbit and Bitcoin: the problem was not Bitcoin, the problem was GoArbit. Here, the issue was not $WLD or World App, but a third-party mini app.

⚠️ Investing in these mini apps always involves risk.
Those of us who participated accepted that risk. It was not a scam per se, but a poorly designed system that could not withstand the volume of investment it received.
To those who lost: we understand your frustration.
To those looking for someone to blame: let’s not confuse the tools with those who misuse them.
🧠 Responsibility and long-term vision, as always.
