Orb to Become More Useful with World ID 2.0
Worldcoin, a crypto startup co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has announced a significant expansion to its eye-scanning identity platform.
The new version of World ID 2.0 combines ideas from the white paper with feedback from developers. The protocol will now offer on-site onboarding into its proof-of-personhood service in Singapore and Mexico.
Worldcoin will also allow users to sign in using a World ID to several companies, including Shopify, Mercado Libre, Minecraft, Reddit, and Telegram.
The 2.0 upgrade will make it easier to distinguish between bots and verified humans online. New verification levels have been added to accommodate users who prefer different amounts of verification data.
A new base-level World ID allows users to authenticate themselves on their own devices, allowing IDs to be expanded to people without access to an orb authentication site and sign into apps with less stringent proof-of-personhood requirements.
