WORLD ID

World ID is a protocol that aims to bring global proof of personhood to the internet in a privacy-centric, self-custodial, and decentralized manner. This digital passport allows users to prove they are unique and real individuals while remaining anonymous.

The project behind World ID is a substantial undertaking that envisions the creation of a widely and evenly distributed cryptocurrency, Worldcoin. The project's unique sign-up process, which involves iris scans, aims to ensure that each person can register only once. This approach is designed to foster financial inclusion and has the potential to serve as a global distribution network for universal basic income (UBI). Central to this process is the Orb, a custom optical system that captures high-definition iris scans to verify users' uniqueness.
