With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology and its applications worldwide, establishing and expanding online privacy protection through identity verification has become increasingly important.

This is the reason why Worldcoin has significantly increased access to World ID, a digital identity protocol supported by the Worldcoin ecosystem. The project will increase the available Orb quantity to 1500 in over 35 cities worldwide throughout the summer and fall.

Global Release

During the last six months of the testing phase, the Worldcoin project verified over 40,000 people per week. 1500 Orbs will meet the demand for new user registrations of World ID, which is more than five times the current global registration, allowing 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 verified World ID, and the project will expand its existing business scale threefold in the coming months. In other countries/regions such as France and Brazil, a pop-up window will allow people to find nearby Orbs and register for World ID within a limited time.

To recap, Orb was originally developed by Tools for Humanity (TFH) as the first custom biometric imaging device built for the Worldcoin project, providing secure and privacy-protecting identity verification. Anyone with a World ID compatible wallet (such as TFH's World App) can access Orb by visiting Worldcoin operator locations or community experts, and register their World ID on Orb.
