World App is being built by a new venture called Tools for Humanity - TFH.

In the future, more and more of the Worldcoin project will find its home there, as well as at the non-profit Worldcoin Foundation.

Just wanted to invite everyone to tune in to the new TFH Twitter page and the upcoming TFH website!

GM and happy Saturday everyone! βšͺ️πŸͺ©βšͺ️πŸͺ©βšͺ️

Advanced AI highlights a need for authentic human recognition & verification to:

- Limit sybil attacks
- Prevent the dissemination of AI-generated disinformation at scale

Proof of personhood addresses both.

In a nutshell, proof of personhood (PoP) is a mechanism that establishes an individual’s humanness and uniqueness.

It can be thought of as the first and most fundamental building block in establishing digital identity.

Why Proof-of-Humanity Matters in an AI Future

Today we are joined by Alex Blania to discuss Worldcoin and its attempt to solve proof-of-humanity. ChatGPT and AI have hit the world by storm, making it harder to distinguish humanity from machine. In this episode, we discuss how proof of humanity is necessary in an AI-driven world, why Worldcoin uses biometric data and crypto rails, how privacy concerns are mitigated, questions around UBI, and how Worldcoin will be crypto's largest onboarding catalyst over the next 12 months.

COMPOSABILITY ON WORLD APP:
The protocols powering Worldcoin’s first wallet

The magic of Ethereum’s composability means that a global identity and finance tool like World App, which would normally have required decades to build and thousands of people to maintain, can become a reality today.
How is this possible? Through mixing and matching open protocols and APIs into a seamless, easy to use app. While the ecosystem is continuing to grow, here’s a look at the protocols World App currently uses to give people around the world access to private digital identity and a new financial system.

Welp, the news is out.

TFH has closed our Series C led by Blockchain Capital.

In the age of AI, the ability to prove humanness in a privacy-preserving way is imperative. We look forward to building more tools and resources to help the Worldcoin project do just that.

Enjoy this little video from BlockchainCap about the announcement and get ready for lots more cool news to come.

DYK peer-to-peer payments on World App support ENS Domains usernames for friendlier ERC-20 transfers?

ENS (Ethereum Name Service) lets you seamlessly send money to friends & family by using easy to remember human-readable-address names vs. long wallet addresses or bank accounts.

What tools are used to protect your privacy when using World ID? πŸ‘€β¬‡οΈ

When a person uses World ID, a zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) prevents 3rd parties from knowing their wallet public key or tracking them across apps.

ZKPs also protect the use of World ID from being tied to a person's biometric data or iris code.

World ID uses an open source protocol known as Semaphore that confirms verifications can't be tracked to a person’s identity or to verifications in other apps.

Woke up to find our humble little global decentralized identity project backed by some of the best names in the space as the lede in Coinbase Bytes, Coinbase’s weekly newsletter.

This is especially cool because they wrote this and featured us completely on their own, without any requests or inputs from our side, offering a fair and balanced perspective on the future of the project.

Have a great weekend and enjoy some light reading here:

The Story Behind Worldcoin’s New Logo

πŸŒβˆˆβ—― πŸŒβˆˆβ—― πŸŒβˆˆβ—―


At the heart of the Worldcoin mission is the belief that everyone deserves access to the global economy, including the 4.4 billion people worldwide whose lack of a legal or digitally verifiable identity makes it difficult to access financial services.

To more clearly express and communicate this mission, we recently updated the Worldcoin logo. This new symbol is an amalgam of three existing symbols: a globe (🌐), the mathematical β€œbelongs to” symbol (∈) and a circle (β—―).

When combined, they convey a simple but important message: the global economy belongs to everyone.


Go check out the new blog post diving into the story behind the logo here:

Is World ID linked to personal or biometric data?

World ID is designed to enable anonymous actions. It isn't connected to your walletβ€”both are separate accounts w/ separate keys that serve different purposes.

Anyone can use World ID w/o providing personal info like names, emails, phone numbers, social profiles, etc.

Everything is optional, & no personal data is disclosed by default, enabling each holder to decide which (if any) personal data to share when using World ID.

A person’s World ID is generated on their device before any biometric checks take place.

Biometrics are only used to verify a person’s World ID and (if necessary) to recover it, and the underlying biometric data isn't shared with any third party when using World ID.

World ID is explicitly not a set of iris images, nor is it the numerical iris code generated from those images.

Instead, the iris code that the Orb outputs is compared against all other iris codes previously generated by all other Orbs.
