At Token2049 in Singapore, co-founder Zak Folkman announced a WLFI app that the project is preparing.

What it means

People who use the planned payment system would see it in a form aimed at drivers, contractors and creators, with the app announcement adding a separate product path around WLFI. That matters today because the rollout points to a payment setup intended for Web2 firms and for a large user base, not just a crypto-only audience. This follows from the app and integration plans described in the announcements.

Before these announcements, the payment link to a Web2 company was not part of the public details in the same way, and the company name still is not disclosed. What changes in practice is that a WLFI app and a payment integration are now on the table at the same time, while the exact partner remains unnamed and the intended payees are specific. That leaves the basic operating shape visible even though the partner identity is still missing.
