Overview
- World, which announced the upgrade Friday at a San Francisco event, rebuilt World ID with an account-based design, a beta World ID app, and an open-source SDK to let any app add proof‑of‑human login.
- Tinder is expanding its pilot to global markets including the U.S., giving profiles a verified‑human badge and five free boosts for users who verify through World’s system.
- Zoom is integrating a Deep Face check that compares a registered image, a real‑time device scan, and the live video frame to show a Verified Human badge, while DocuSign is testing checks that confirm a person—not a bot—is behind a signature.
- A new Concert Kit lets artists reserve tickets for verified fans to curb scalper bots, with a Bruno Mars tour trial and support for major ticketing platforms such as Ticketmaster and Eventbrite.
- World says nearly 18 million people have verified across 160 countries as it pushes tiered checks from selfie to iris scan, though privacy probes, country bans like Brazil, and a drop in the WLD token highlight ongoing skepticism.
