World
ID 2.0, a pillar of the Worldcoin protocol, proves humanity, enhances
privacy; Humanness verification services expand in Mexico and Singapore
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- Worldcoin today introduced a protocol update - World ID 2.0, a
more powerful, privacy preserving “humanness” digital passport equipped
with exciting app integrations* and a suite of new features. Humanness
verification services are expanding in Mexico and Singapore, increasing
global access to World ID 2.0.
World ID 2.0 makes it easier to
distinguish between bots and verified humans online while preserving
privacy with popular apps and services with new pre-built integrations.
The protocol will be integrated with popular e-commerce, gaming and
social media platforms including: Shopify, Mercado Libre, Minecraft,
Reddit and Telegram.
Prove personhood, not identity
The
rapid global advancement of artificial intelligence has accelerated the
need to differentiate between human- and AI-generated content online. As
reported by CNBC, retailers are losing an estimated $100 billion per
year from return fraud, bots and coupon stacking. Meanwhile, the digital
gaming industry struggles to combat bots impacting the real number of
humans playing online and have been alleged to fraudulently beat humans
in competitive games.
World ID aims to provide a decentralized
digital identity layer that enables anonymous actions for the benefit of
every unique human online. With the humanness digital passport,
individuals can verify to an app or service that they are human without
disclosing their identity, and brands can ensure that their offerings
and services are being used as intended. World ID 2.0 also offers new
verification levels to provide developers choice when implementing
humanness verification requirements into their apps or services.
App integrations deliver greater utility
Users
and businesses benefit from World ID. New integrations with apps like
Shopify, Telegram, Minecraft, Reddit and Mercado Libre, alongside
existing integrations with apps including Discord, Talent Protocol and
Okta’s Auth0, mean individuals can quickly and easily verify their
humanness on the platforms they use every day. And with a new,
high-performance developer platform enabling builders to easily
integrate “Sign in with World ID” onto their app, new integrations are
being added every week, all visible on the new Worldcoin App Store.
New verification levels offer increased access and flexibility
Nearly
five million people globally now have a World ID, and more than 2.5
million have verified their humanness at an Orb so they can fully
utilize their World ID.
With its new verification levels, World
ID 2.0 introduces more ways for people to use their World ID based on
the security needs of the application and to ensure individuals are not
sharing more information than they need or want for a given application.
From device verification for high convenience and accessibility all the
way to Orb verification with additional face authentication for high
security use cases, there’s now a way for everyone to use their World ID
even if they haven’t yet had the opportunity to verify at an Orb.
How to get a World ID
Obtaining
a World ID is as simple as downloading a compatible wallet, starting
with the World App which is designed to support 94.5% of the iOS and
98.2% of Android smartphones in use today. Initial verification of a
World ID offers a baseline level of protection with Device Auth and an
Orb-verified World ID provides enhanced utility for applications or
services requiring higher security and verification. Visit
https://worldcoin.org/find-orb or check the World App to find an Orb
verification location near you.
A look at Worldcoin momentum and expansion
Interest
in access to Worldcoin and proof of personhood technologies like World
ID is continuing to grow globally. In 2023, World ID verifications
jumped from under a million in January to more than 2.5 million by the
end of November. Additional Orb locations are also opening in both new
and existing cities to help make sure everyone who wants to be a part of
the Worldcoin community can do so. Mexico and Singapore join the list
of locations where individuals can now find Orbs.
