山姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）的世界正在启动一个试点计划，该计划将使用其世界ID身份验证系统向开发人员付款以创建“迷你应用”

从4月1日开始运行三个月，该公司将根据其应用程序的使用来向合格开发人员分配$ 300,000

Sam Altman's crypto startup is launching a pilot program that will pay developers who create "mini-apps" using its World ID authentication system.

Sam Altman的Crypto初创公司正在启动一个试点计划，该计划将使用其World ID身份验证系统向创建“迷你应用程序”的开发人员支付。

The startup, which is currently in the process of changing its name from Worldcoin to World, will be distributing $300,000 over a period of three months starting April 1 to qualifying developers based on the usage of their apps.

该初创公司目前正在将其名称从WorldCoin更改为世界，从4月1日开始在三个月内分配30万美元，以根据其应用程序的使用来合格开发人员。

World says top-performing developers could earn up to $25,000 per week. Payments will be made in the form of World's own token, which can be converted into other currencies.

世界表示，表现最佳的开发人员每周最多可赚取25,000美元。付款将以世界自己的代币形式进行，可以将其转换为其他货币。

World is known for its controversial orb-like device, which scans a person's iris to create a unique, encrypted digital code. Once created, the idea is that individuals can quickly and easily authenticate themselves on web services without needing to hand over any personally identifying information or having to input a password.

World以其有争议的球形设备而闻名，该设备扫描了一个人的虹膜以创建独特的，加密的数字代码。创建后，想法是个人可以在Web服务上快速而轻松地验证自己，而无需交出任何个人识别信息或必须输入密码。

World sees this as a critical component in addressing the problem of bots and inauthentic content proliferating online. From a privacy standpoint, it could allow individuals to speak more freely on services like X without risking an authoritarian regime finding their identity and sending them to an ICE detention facility.

世界将这是解决机器人问题和在线不真实内容增殖的关键组成部分。从隐私的角度来看，它可以使个人可以更自由地就X之类的服务发言，而不会冒着专制政权的风险找到自己的身份并将其送往冰拘留所。

And as humans and bots become nearly indistinguishable, websites like Reddit will need a way to segregate the junk.

随着人类和机器人几乎无法区分，Reddit等网站将需要一种将垃圾隔离的方法。

States like Utah are demanding that individuals verify their age to access mature apps, which has predictably stoked pushback from privacy advocates, but World ID would not solve that problem, as it only verifies humanness, not age.

像犹他州这样的国家要求个人验证自己的年龄访问成熟的应用程序，这可以预见地从隐私倡导者那里获得了推动，但是世界ID并不能解决这个问题，因为它只会验证人类而不是年龄。

However, World faces a "cold start" problem. In order for people to scan their irises, there needs to be a practical reason for doing so, like an app or service that requires it. But without iris scans, there is no reason for developers to make an app that utilizes them.

但是，世界面临“冷启动”问题。为了使人们扫描虹膜，需要有一个实际的理由这样做，例如需要它的应用程序或服务。但是，如果没有虹膜扫描，开发人员就没有理由制作一个利用它们的应用程序。

World's first attempt at addressing this was by issuing a cryptocurrency to new users who completed the iris scan. Now, it is aiming to onboard people with actual utilities.

世界上首次尝试解决此问题的尝试是向完成虹膜扫描的新用户发布加密货币。现在，它的目的是登上拥有实际公用事业的人。

World 3.0, the latest version of its mobile app, is being billed as a "super app" akin to WeChat in China, which is ostensibly a messaging app but includes a whole host of other features. World now includes Mini Apps, which it defines as "everyday apps optimized for real humans." They run directly within the World app and integrate with a user's World ID. There are over 150 mini-apps available today, ranging from games to lending and payment apps.

World 3.0是其移动应用程序的最新版本，被称为类似于中国微信的“超级应用程序”，表面上是一个消息传递应用程序，但包含许多其他功能。现在，世界包括迷你应用程序，它将其定义为“为真正的人类优化的日常应用程序”。它们直接在世界应用程序中运行，并与用户的世界ID集成。今天有超过150台迷你应用程序可用，从游戏到贷款和付款应用程序不等。

Business Insider spoke with one developer in Argentina who built a mini app called Credit that offers microloans to individuals in the country. Loans can range from as low as $5 up to $100.

Business Insider与阿根廷的一位开发人员进行了交谈，他建立了一个名为Credit的迷你应用程序，该应用程序为该国个人提供了微观的人。贷款的价格从低至5美元到$ 100。

Diego Estevez, the developer of Credit, says since World is inherently anonymous, he does not rely on traditional credit scores or other signals to issue loans. Credit is designed so that users can get access to increasingly larger loans as they make on-time repayments.

信用开发商的迭戈·埃斯特维斯（Diego Estevez）表示，由于世界本质上是匿名的，因此他不依靠传统的信用评分或其他信号来发行贷款。信贷的设计是为了使用户可以在按时还款时获得越来越大的贷款。

Estevez says Credit has issued 15,000 loans to date.

埃斯特维斯说，迄今为止，信贷已发行了15,000贷款。

Getting people in poorer parts of the world online and into financial systems with a verifiable ID is a real problem, but what technology like World has to offer is always a double-edged sword. The company has faced controversy on numerous fronts.

让人们在网上贫穷的地区进入具有可验证ID的财务系统是一个真正的问题，但是像世界这样的技术必须提供的技术始终是一把双刃剑。该公司在许多方面都面临争议。

It initially launched pilots in developing countries including Kenya and Brazil, where it recruited individuals to collect iris scans in small batches. The idea was to get the technology adopted in large numbers quickly.

它最初在包括肯尼亚和巴西在内的发展中国家开设了飞行员，在那里招募了个人以小批量收集虹膜扫描。这个想法是要迅速使技术大量采用。

But critics have said the practice is predatory, as these individuals may be desperate for the money, and regulators in several countries have banned World's activities. Some critics have noted that iris patterns appear to change as people age, which could pose a problem for World's biometric scanners over the long term.

但是批评者说，这种做法是掠夺性的，因为这些人可能迫切希望这笔钱，而且几个国家的监管机构禁止了世界的活动。一些批评家指出，随着人们的年龄，虹膜模式似乎会发生变化，这可能会对世界上的生物识别扫描剂造成问题。

And fundamentally, in a world where individuals are becoming increasingly hyper-aware of privacy concerns, especially as governments are increasingly monitoring and policing online activity, asking for intimate personal data is a hard sell.

从根本上讲，在这个世界越来越多地了解隐私问题的世界中，尤其是当政府越来越多地监控和警惕在线活动时，询问亲密的个人数据是很难的。

World faces an uphill battle assuaging concerns that the technology could be abused to track people's activity and whereabouts. The current Trump administration has demonstrated a willingness to send people to ICE detention camps over lawful speech and will scan online activity to achieve its goals.

世界面临着一场艰苦的战斗，即可能滥用该技术来跟踪人们的活动和下落。当前的特朗普政府表明，愿意通过合法演讲将人们送往冰拘留营，并将扫描在线活动以实现其目标。

What is more, the U.S. government can compel the use of biometrics to unlock devices, like iPhones, using biometric data without violating the Fifth Amendment. In theory, it could ask an individual to present their iris to log into X or another service, and if the individual refuses, they could be detained.

而且，美国政府可以强迫使用生物识别技术来解锁iPhone，而不会违反第五修正案。从理论上讲，它可以要求一个人出示虹膜登录X或其他服务，如果个人拒绝，他们可以被拘留。

However, World maintains that user biometric data is stored only on an individual's smartphone, and there is no way to link a World ID back to a person. World ID codes are "zero proof," meaning the cryptographic hash of a person's iris can generate a code to use online, like for logging into Reddit, but the code cannot be reversed to generate an iris. The code generated from an iris hash is the same each time,

但是，世界坚持认为，用户生物识别数据仅存储在个人的智能手机上，并且无法将世界ID链接回一个人。世界ID代码是“零证明”，这意味着一个人的Iris的加密哈希人可以生成用于在线使用的代码，例如登录Reddit，但是无法逆转代码来生成IRIS。每次从虹膜哈希产生的代码是相同的，
