The World ID program of sama’s crypto identity project worldcoin has surpassed 2 million sign-ups after the firm staged an international tour for its eye-scanning orbs.
In a nutshell, World ID aims to offer a “global digital passport” that users can store on their phones to prove their identity, while using zero-knowledge proofs to protect their privacy.
To sign up for the World ID program and receive a “digital passport,” individuals must visit an orb to scan one of their eyeballs. This creates a unique “IrisHash,” used to verify their uniqueness. Users who successfully upload their sensitive biometric data are paid for their efforts in a self-titled cryptocurrency known as Worldcoin.✅ Protecting against sybil attacksWorldcoin credited its sign-up rush to a recent multicity tour that spanned across Barcelona, Berlin and Tokyo.
Worldcoin anticipates that these five-pound, chrome eye-scanning devices known as “Orbs” will become increasingly available worldwide over the next several months due to an uptick in demand. “Additionally, just as more people are signing up, a growing number of apps and services are making use of the World ID protocol.”
It also noted that other protocols, including Okta’s Auth0 and Talent Protocol, have begun to use World ID and Worldcoin in their respective onboarding procedures.
