Worldcoin, a crypto company Worldcoin now integrates to Minecraft, Reddit, Telegram, Shopify and Mercado Libre.

Worldcoin is a new project that was created by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman - was launched earlier this year and its recently updated version to World ID offers a service which helps distinguish between humans and bots on the internet. By creating the World ID profile and, if you wish you want, scanning your eyes.

For example, the new integrations from Worldcoin allow Shopify shop owners to utilize World ID for fraud prevention and one-time offers. Reddit moderators can grant permission to those who use their World ID to ensure they don't post spam.

As TechCrunch revealed, Tiago Mada Director of Tools for Humanity at Worldcoin stated:

"This is not only an initial wave of applications, but a new developer platform for developers to create," Sada said. "We're curious to see what people come up with [...] the best ideas through the eyes of developers."

The degree of new World ID integration

This integration offers new levels of authentication, resulting in three types of world IDs. The first level requires downloading the Worldcoin app, and creating an World ID. At this stage there's no need to scan your irises - you just need to set up your profile.

The next step, the standard World ID Orb level involves creating a profile as well as having your iris scanned by the Worldcoin Orb, in order to verify your identity. The 'high' level or World ID Orb+ requires you to use facial recognition to complete the application protocol.

Surprisingly, you don't need to add a name when creating a World ID. As Sada said:

"You can use it totally anonymously; the one thing you're doing it proves you're distinct."

Users can create one 'casual' World ID per device, however, once you opt to be scanned by an Orb you may only hold one World ID.

Speak about the benefits that The World ID system Sada said:

"It's not ideal, but it can aid in preventing people from abusing systems, like voting 100 times on a poll, or having hundreds -, if not thousands, of accounts,"

Worldcoin data security concerns

While the crypto project is growing consistently, it is facing some criticism. The year before, Kenya banned Worldcoin from scanning more of its citizens' iris due to the fact that it did not inform the users of the data needed and security measures it had taken.

In addition, some critics have raised concerns about the fact that Worldcoin concentrates on developing nations with the promise of signing up for 25 WLD tokens (worth about $60.50). Despite this, Worldcoin still maintains steady growth, with roughly 5 million users worldwide having an account with a World ID and 2.6 million having scanned their irises via their Orb hardware.

On Worldcoins increase, Sada said:

"Five million people are quite a ways from the rest of the world (adopting that,)"

"So (2024 is) about improving things, and at the same time, getting to all those around the globe."
