As artificial intelligence technologies and applications continue to advance globally, it will become increasingly important to establish and expand proof of personhood for online privacy protection.
That's why Worldcoin is dramatically increasing access to World ID, the digital identity protocol powered by the Worldcoin ecosystem. The project will increase the number of available Orbs to 1500 in more than 35 cities around the world throughout the summer and fall.
Release worldwide
During the last six months of the beta phase, the Worldcoin project verified more than 40,000 people per week. 1,500 Orbs will satisfy more than 5 times the number of new users registering for World ID worldwide, enabling millions of people to join the ranks of the 2 million registered World ID users.
In countries such as Spain, more than 150,000 people have already verified World ID, and the project will triple the size of its existing business in the coming months. In other countries, such as France and Brazil, for a limited time, pop-ups will allow people to find nearby Orbs and sign up for a World ID.
To recap, the Orb, originally developed by Tools for Humanity (TFH), was the first custom biometric imaging device built for the Worldcoin project to conduct proof of personhood in a secure and privacy-preserving manner. Anyone with a World ID compatible wallet (such as TFH's World App) can access the Orb by visiting a Worldcoin operator location or a community expert to register for a World ID on the Orb.
Where the new Orb will be available
Users can read below for more than 35 cities in more than 20 countries on five continents where Orbs will be available between now and the end of 2023. This list includes cities where Orbs are currently available and cities where Orbs will be available between now and the end of the year. More cities may be added in the future.
