Worldcoin 繼續計劃向新的數位 ID 產品擴張，在智利、哥倫比亞、馬來西亞和韓國試點推出其 World ID 憑證

World 部落格上的一則公告稱，數位憑證系統允許用戶「將有效形式的ID（從支持NFC 的護照開始）連接到其World ID，而無需與TFH、世界基金會或任何其他第三方共享任何信息。

World is continuing its planned expansion into new digital ID products with the pilot launch of its World ID Credentials in Chile, Colombia, Malaysia and South Korea. More countries are set to follow.

World 正在繼續計劃拓展新的數位 ID 產品，並在智利、哥倫比亞、馬來西亞和韓國試點推出 World ID Credentials。更多國家將效法。

An announcement on World’s blog says the digital credential system allows users to “connect valid forms of ID (starting with NFC-enabled passports) to their World ID without sharing any information with TFH, the World Foundation or any other third party.”

World 部落格上的一則公告稱，數位憑證系統允許用戶「將有效形式的ID（從支持NFC 的護照開始）連接到其World ID，而無需與TFH、世界基金會或任何其他第三方共享任何信息。

TFH is Tools for Humanity, initially billed as the parent company of what was Worldcoin, but reclassified as a service provider – or, in the firm’s parlance, “contributor” – after the company rebranded to World at a showy live event in October.

TFH 是Tools for Humanity，最初被宣傳為Worldcoin 的母公司，但在10 月的一次華麗的現場活動中更名為World 後，被重新歸類為服務提供商，或者用該公司的話說“貢獻者” 。

The idea is to make World ID (and its associated crypto tokens) more accessible to more people – and more useful, offering “increased World ID utility.” Those who sign up are eligible to receive extra WLD tokens. Being connected to World ID, they can also use the protocol to “privately prove things about themselves online beyond just their humanness and uniqueness” using data stored on their device. This could include information such as age or nationality.

其想法是讓 World ID（及其相關的加密代幣）更容易被更多人使用，並且更有用，提供「增加的 World ID 實用性」。註冊者有資格獲得額外的 WLD 代幣。連接到 World ID 後，他們還可以使用該協議，利用設備上儲存的資料「在網路上私下證明自己的身份，而不僅僅是他們的人性和獨特性」。這可能包括年齡或國籍等資訊。

The real bonus? Adding credentials to World ID Credentials doesn’t require an encounter with World’s iris-scanning Orb device. That’s also a move to increase reach, in that it invites those “who may not be close to an Orb but who have valid forms of identification to join and benefit from World Network more meaningfully” – and, again, to claim those extra tokens.

真正的獎金？將憑證新增至 World ID Credentials 不需要遇到 World 的虹膜掃描 Orb 裝置。這也是擴大影響範圍的舉措，因為它邀請那些「可能不接近 Orb 但擁有有效身份證明的人加入世界網絡並更有意義地受益」——並且再次申領這些額外的代幣。

Takers will receive “around 25.83 WLD,” which as of today’s date is valued at about $91 U.S. (Getting scanned at an Orb gets you around double that.)

接受者將收到“大約 25.83 WLD”，截至今天，其價值約為 91 美元（在 Orb 上掃描可以得到大約兩倍的價格。）

It is both a practical and savvy move from the company, in that it potentially opens the World ID Network and its cryptocurrency to any one of the estimated 1.2 billion people on Earth with a passport. It also takes some of the focus away from the company’s raison d’etre of providing a way to prove one is human in a world overrun by AI deepfakes.

這是該公司的一項實用且精明的舉措，因為它有可能向地球上約 12 億持有護照的人開放世界 ID 網路及其加密貨幣。這也讓人們不再關注該公司存在的目的，即提供一種方法來證明一個人在人工智慧深度造假氾濫的世界中是人類。

For now, the pilot is being rolled out on iOS for individuals with NFC-enabled passports from Chile, Colombia, Malaysia and South Korea who are currently located in those countries. Android support is forthcoming.

目前，該試點計畫正在 iOS 上針對目前居住在智利、哥倫比亞、馬來西亞和韓國、持有 NFC 護照的個人推出。 Android 支援即將推出。

Business booming in Brazil

巴西商業蓬勃發展

A recent piece in Bloomberg Linéa asks, “how much is your iris worth”? The current price for those having their irises scanned in Brazil is R$740 (US$122), which is (today) about 35 WLD – less than promised in the company’s most recent materials.

Bloomberg Linéa 最近的一篇文章問道：「你的虹膜值多少錢」？目前在巴西進行虹膜掃描的價格為 740 巴西雷亞爾（122 美元），相當於（目前）約 35 WLD，低於該公司最新資料中承諾的價格。

That said, price fluctuations have been a common feature since WLD’s launch; the company hit a high of US$11.31 on March 9, 2024, and bottomed out around US$1.35 in September before the rebrand.

儘管如此，自 WLD 推出以來，價格波動一直是常見特徵；該公司於2024年3月9日觸及11.31美元的高點，並在品牌更名前的9月觸底約1.35美元。

Bloomberg notes that funds cannot be withdrawn until 29 days after users have their iris biometrics scanned, and then only in monthly increments. The goal is clearly to get people to reinvest their WLD; the company’s Vault feature allows them to do just that, and offers a 10 percent yield.

彭博社指出，用戶在掃描虹膜生物辨識資訊後 29 天才能提取資金，且只能按月提取。目標顯然是讓人們將他們的 WLD 再投資；該公司的 Vault 功能使他們能夠做到這一點，並提供 10% 的收益率。

While Brazilian shopping malls are humming with eager Orb-seekers, World’s activities have (unsurprisingly) raised the hackles of Brazil’s National Data Protection Agency (ANPD), which in November initiated an oversight process to learn more about the firm’s privacy and data protection measures, in the context of the Brazilian General Personal Data Protection Law (LGPD).

雖然巴西的購物中心擠滿了渴望Orb 的人，但World 的活動（毫不奇怪）引起了巴西國家資料保護局(ANPD) 的不滿，該機構於11 月啟動了一項監督程序，以了解有關該公司隱私和資料保護措施的更多資訊。

World has had frequent run-ins with regulators across the globe.

World 經常與全球監管機構發生衝突。

New assets arm sells WLD tokens to fund growth

新資產部門出售 WLD 代幣以資助成長

Thus far, around 8 million people have communed with an Orb to enroll their iris biometrics and claim a World ID. Around the globe, 3828 Orbs can be found in 510 different locations. As outlined during the October event, World is aiming to sign up just about everybody: a recent blog says the network is seeing 300,000 visits to the Orb and adding more than 790,000 network users every week.

到目前為止，大約有 800 萬人已經與 Orb 進行了交流，註冊了他們的虹膜生物識別資訊並申請了 World ID。在全球 510 個不同地點可以找到 3828 個球體。正如 10 月活動期間所概述的那樣，World 的目標是幾乎所有人都可以註冊：最近的一篇博客稱，該網絡的 Orb 訪問量達到 300,000 次，並且每週增加超過 790,000 名網絡用戶。

Yet with growth comes rising costs. To fund its rapid expansion, the project has sprung yet another subsidiary branch. World Assets Limited – which “conducts recurrent tranche-based WLD sales to trading firms” – is intended to create a “capital buffer” for the company, to “ensure financial resilience and operational continuity amid fluctuating market conditions.”

然而，隨著成長而來的是成本的上升。為了為其快速擴張提供資金，該計畫又成立了另一個分支機構。 World Assets Limited“向貿易公司進行定期的WLD銷售”，旨在為該公司創造“資本緩衝”，以“在市場條件波動的情況下確保財務彈性和運營連續性”。

It has found some of the money it needs by raiding its treasury. According to the blog, World Assets recently sold 59.5 million WLD tokens (US$210m) to a select group of private institutional investors operating outside the U.S.

它透過搜查金庫找到了一些所需的資金。據該部落格稱，World Assets 最近向一組在美國境外運營的精選私人機構投資者出售了 5,950 萬枚 WLD 代幣（2.1 億美元）
