Sam Altman’s Worldcoin Launches World ID 2.0
Sam Altman of OpenAI founded Worldcoin (WLD), a blockchain-based identity and financial platform. Recently, the company unveiled “World ID 2.0,” an improved version of its World ID feature that offers smooth integration with well-known websites like Shopify, Mercado Libre, Reddit, and Telegram. When interacting with these services, users can utilize this integration to confirm that they are human.
The recent announcement referred to World ID 2.0 as the “human passport for the internet” and stated that these new app connections are in addition to the ones that are already in place, such Okta’s Auth0, Talent Protocol, and Discord.
Additionally, World ID 2.0 gives app developers the freedom to select from a range of authentication settings, from “lite” to “max.”
Three authentication levels, according to Worldcoin, give users greater opportunities to use their World ID in both high-security and informal apps while preventing them from disclosing more information than is required.
Applications that require a high level of security, for example, might require an orb-verified ID, while those that prioritize ease of use might merely require a “Device Auth” World ID associated with the user’s smartphone.
According to Worldcoin, these new features would reduce losses brought about by bots and do away with the requirement for consumers to provide personal information to the apps they use.
More than 2.6 million people have validated their World IDs since its launch. However, Worldcoin has been embroiled in a privacy scandal, prompting inquiries from nations including Argentina and the United Kingdom. The deployment of World ID 2.0 will go on until 2024.
Meanwhile, AI-related crypto tokens are posting a sustained weeklong rally despite muted performance by major digital assets. For example, AI tokens like FET, Render (RNDR) and GRT has posted weekly gains of 15%, 13.75% and 10% respectively as of 14th December 2023.
