World has also introduced World ID 3.0, an advanced version of World ID that enables further verification across the globe.
Blockchain-based identity verification project Worldcoin, co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania, has rebranded to simply “World” with new features designed to enhance its World ID. The project announced the mainnet launch of its blockchain World Chain and unveiled several updated tools aimed at bringing ‘proof-of-humanity’ technology to more people.
This includes the third-generation biometric identification device the Orb, powered by NVIDIA’s latest Jetson chipset and offering fivefold AI performance. Verified passport holders can claim native cryptocurrency WLD from World Chain before fully verifying their ID via the Orb.
World Chain mainnet launch saw approximately 15 million people migrate or complete migration to the blockchain network, which prioritizes human activity and transactions over bots. The new World ID Credentials and Deep Face features allow those with NFC-enabled passports to verify their identity via their devices
