# PairedWorld

**A New Era for Real World Interactions (RWIs) and Socio-Economic Networks**

[**PairedWorld**](https://www.paired.world) is the first and only social protocol purposely built to authenticate and reward real world human interactions, powered by the $PAIRED token and a custom Validium, using zk-SNARKs. PairedWorld introduces a groundbreaking incentivisation layer for in-real-life interactions by transforming real-world engagements into gamified & rewarding experiences.\
\
PairedWorld paves the way for online communities to manifest in the physical world, opening new chapters in community interaction, SocialFi, DeSoc, and new data sets.
