Worldcoin (WLD) Expands Its ‘Orb’ Identity Verification Platform to Guatemala, Poland, and Malaysia
Sep 30, 2024 at 06:01 am
Worldcoin (WLD), an AI-powered cryptocurrency project headed by Sam Altman, has continued its expansion project. The ‘orb’ technology identity verification platform has expanded into three countries – Guatemala, Poland, and Malaysia.
AI-powered cryptocurrency project Worldcoin, spearheaded by Sam Altman, has expanded its ‘orb’ technology identity verification platform into three new countries: Guatemala, Poland, and Malaysia.
The move comes as Worldcoin rolls out a new face authentication feature to ensure secure verification of humanness, aiming to combat the increasing presence of online bots.
In Guatemala, a survey by Ipsos revealed widespread concerns among 500 respondents regarding the authenticity of online content, with 80% expressing worry over the author of such content.
Moreover, 84% of the respondents raised concerns about the advancement of AI models making it difficult to distinguish between bots and humans.
These concerns have led many respondents to support the development of a technology that can authenticate humans online, with 440 out of the 500 respondents voting in favor of such a measure.
The data privacy concerns and potential fraudulence in case of a stolen device have been addressed by the authentication process, which utilizes only information present on the user’s phone.
notably, the face authentication feature allows other apps to confirm if the user with the ID is the same person as the one verified at Worldcoin centers using the orb.
Worldcoin had earlier launched its World ID Orb verification in Austria in July, aiming to provide accessibility to its proof-of-humanness tech in Europe.
The orbs devices authenticate users’ unique personalities, and the service is available to anyone aged 18 and above, boasting over 6 million users.
Last year, Worldcoin suspended its services in Brazil, France, and India just a few months after rolling them out in these countries.
While the reasons behind the sudden move were not immediately clear, many speculated that it could be related to regulatory hurdles in these regions.
Despite facing regulatory crackdowns, the native token of the project experienced a mild upshoot on Monday, rising by 1.44% at the time of writing to $2.07.
This slight gain helped Worldcoin pare off some of the losses incurred over the past few days.
