- The project has been recently installed in countries like Costa Rica, Poland, and Austria. Following these recent installations, the company has decided to spread its wings to Brazil.
- After the launch, Brazil people will be able to verify their human identity by using World ID 3.0.
- The user base created by the World App has surpassed 16 million users having over 7.5 million unique human verifications.
On November 12, an announcement was made for developing World ID verification in Brazil. The idea somewhere emerged in 2023 as a part of the global tour and a preview of the project. After launch of this project in Brazil comes with the aim of driving digital identity as well as proof-of-human technology to the majority.
The citizens of Brazil can access the World ID from today onwards i.e., November 13, 2024. The announcement was made through a blog post posted on the official website of World.
Sam Altman is the co-founder of the project and a lot of hurdles have come his way after he introduced the project in July, last year. Many legal hurdles have also come his way, but it didn’t stop the project from its massive expansion over the globe.
Project’s expansion over the globe
The project has been recently installed in countries like Costa Rica, Poland, and Austria. Following these recent installations, the company has decided to spread its wings to Brazil. If we go through the official website, the user base created by the World App has surpassed 16 million users having over 7.5 million unique human verifications.
After the launch, Brazil people will be able to verify their human identity by using World ID 3.0. A World ID 3.0 is a version of the project that gives permission for anonymous verification, at a time when people are concerned over AI-generated bots as well as other frauds.
Identity theft is the biggest concern
A survey carried out recently has shown that many people are mostly worried about identity theft. Furthermore, adding to this, the expansion effort of this project comes with a significant introduction to World Chain.
The survey was mainly conducted by IPSOS and World contributor Tolls for Humanity over 1,200 citizens of Brazil. The survey further revealed that 7 out of 10 respondents are worried that even if the content they are consuming is created by a human or a bot.
Almost 93% of the respondents have also claimed either to be a victim of the identity theft or it has been happened to somone close they know.
A world chain is nothing but a layer-2 network developed over a Superchain. In October 2024, the World Foundation publicized that users can now access this Ethereum-secured network having partners such as Optimism, Uniswap, Alchemy, and Dune.
The World Chain has also collaborated with Across, the only cross-chain intents protocol in production today which enables the fastest as well as lowest cost interoperability solution without security tradeoffs.
