World

What is World?

World, formerly known as Worldcoin, is a humanity verification project and financial network co-founded by Sam Altman. Its primary mission is to provide an inclusive digital identity system that ensures every human can participate in and benefit from the age of artificial intelligence. At its core is the World ID, an anonymous proof-of-human credential verified by custom biometric hardware called the Orb. This credential helps online platforms easily distinguish between real people and bots without compromising user privacy. Additionally, the project features the World App and World Chain, offering accessible digital finance tools and universal access to the global economy.

How to use World?

To use World, start by downloading the free World App on your iOS or Android device and creating an account. Next, use the app to locate a nearby physical 'Orb' device, which will securely scan your irises to verify your unique human identity and issue your fully verified World ID. Once verified, you can use your World ID to seamlessly and anonymously authenticate yourself on various participating websites, services, and Mini Apps to prove you are not a bot. Furthermore, you can use the World App wallet to receive, store, and send digital currencies globally without transaction fees.
