Worldcoin 继续计划向新的数字 ID 产品扩张，在智利、哥伦比亚、马来西亚和韩国试点推出其 World ID 凭证

World 博客上的一则公告称，数字凭证系统允许用户“将有效形式的 ID（从支持 NFC 的护照开始）连接到其 World ID，而无需与 TFH、世界基金会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 正在继续计划拓展新的数字 ID 产品，并在智利、哥伦比亚、马来西亚和韩国试点推出 World ID Credentials。更多国家将效仿。

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 博客上的一则公告称，数字凭证系统允许用户“将有效形式的 ID（从支持 NFC 的护照开始）连接到其 World ID，而无需与 TFH、世界基金会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，最初被宣传为 Worldcoin 的母公司，但在 10 月份的一次华丽的现场活动中更名为 World 后，被重新归类为服务提供商，或者用该公司的话说“贡献者”。

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.

其想法是让 World ID（及其相关的加密代币）更容易被更多人使用，并且更有用，提供“增加的 World ID 实用性”。注册者有资格获得额外的 WLD 代币。连接到 World ID 后，他们还可以使用该协议，利用设备上存储的数据“在网上私下证明自己的身份，而不仅仅是他们的人性和独特性”。这可能包括年龄或国籍等信息。

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.

真正的奖金？将凭证添加到 World ID Credentials 不需要遇到 World 的虹膜扫描 Orb 设备。这也是扩大影响范围的举措，因为它邀请那些“可能不接近 Orb 但拥有有效身份证明的人加入世界网络并更有意义地受益”——并且再次申领这些额外的代币。

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.)

接受者将收到“大约 25.83 WLD”，截至今天，其价值约为 91 美元（在 Orb 上扫描可以得到大约两倍的价格。）

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.

这是该公司的一项实用且精明的举措，因为它有可能向地球上大约 12 亿持有护照的人开放世界 ID 网络及其加密货币。它还让人们不再关注该公司存在的目的，即提供一种方法来证明一个人在人工智能深度造假泛滥的世界中是人类。

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，该试点项目正在 iOS 上针对目前居住在智利、哥伦比亚、马来西亚和韩国、持有 NFC 护照的个人推出。 Android 支持即将推出。

Business booming in Brazil

巴西商业蓬勃发展

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 最近的一篇文章问道：“你的虹膜值多少钱”？目前在巴西进行虹膜扫描的价格为 740 巴西雷亚尔（122 美元），相当于（目前）约 35 WLD，低于该公司最新材料中承诺的价格。

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.

尽管如此，自 WLD 推出以来，价格波动一直是一个常见特征；该公司于2024年3月9日触及11.31美元的高点，并在品牌更名前的9月份触底于1.35美元左右。

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，用户在扫描虹膜生物识别信息后 29 天才能提取资金，并且只能按月提取。目标显然是让人们将他们的 WLD 再投资；该公司的 Vault 功能使他们能够做到这一点，并提供 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).

虽然巴西的购物中心里挤满了渴望 Orb 的人，但 World 的活动（毫不奇怪）引起了巴西国家数据保护局 (ANPD) 的不满，该机构于 11 月启动了一项监督程序，以了解有关该公司隐私和数据保护措施的更多信息。在巴西一般个人数据保护法 (LGPD) 的背景下。

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

New assets arm sells WLD tokens to fund growth

新资产部门出售 WLD 代币以资助增长

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.

到目前为止，大约有 800 万人已经与 Orb 进行了交流，注册了他们的虹膜生物识别信息并申请了 World ID。在全球 510 个不同地点可以找到 3828 个球体。正如 10 月份活动期间所概述的那样，World 的目标是几乎所有人都可以注册：最近的一篇博客称，该网络的 Orb 访问量达到 300,000 次，并且每周增加超过 790,000 名网络用户。

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，随着增长而来的是成本的上升。为了为其快速扩张提供资金，该项目又成立了另一个分支机构。 World Assets Limited“向贸易公司进行定期的WLD销售”，旨在为该公司创造“资本缓冲”，以“在市场条件波动的情况下确保财务弹性和运营连续性”。

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.

它通过搜查金库找到了一些所需的资金。据该博客称，World Assets 最近向一组在美国境外运营的精选私人机构投资者出售了 5950 万枚 WLD 代币（2.1 亿美元）
