World ID 2.0

World Network, formerly known as Worldcoin, has launched a pilot for its World ID Passport Credential, which is currently being tested in Chile, Colombia, Malaysia, and South Korea. This initiative was introduced at the "A New World" event in San Francisco and aims to enhance global access to the World Network by allowing individuals to connect their NFC-enabled passports to their World ID. This feature is designed to ensure privacy and security by storing all identification data directly on users' devices without involving third parties.

The World ID Passport Credential provides several benefits:

  1. It allows over 1.2 billion passport holders worldwide to join the World Network without needing proximity to an Orb for verification.
  2. It enables users to verify specific identity attributes such as age and nationality while maintaining anonymity.
  3. Importantly, it offers users the opportunity to claim additional WLD tokens, even if they have not verified their uniqueness at an Orb.

Currently, the pilot is available on iOS devices for users in the participating countries, with plans to expand support to Android devices and additional countries soon. The launch of this credential has significantly impacted the market performance of WLD tokens, causing a surge in price and trading volume. Analysts have noted a bullish trend in WLD's price movement, with technical patterns suggesting potential further gains.

This development is significant for World Network as it positions itself as a leader in digital identity verification while also enhancing the utility of its cryptocurrency, WLD. The initiative reflects a strategic move to broaden user participation and engagement within the World Network ecosystem through secure and private identity solutions.
