World ID product
Overview
World ID is a digital identity protocol built by the Worldcoin initiative. It relies on biometric iris scans captured through a hardware device known as the Orb to generate a distinct identifier that protects user privacy. The system allows a user to demonstrate they are a distinct human being—establishing personhood—without disclosing their actual identity. This capability is intended to provide sybil resistance for decentralized applications and online platforms.
