World ID Orb verifications are now available in Brazil, according to World, formerly known as Worldcoin.
World ID verification will now be available in the Latin American nation, following the first pop-ups in 2023 as part of the project’s global tour and preview, according to an announcement made on Nov. 12.
With the reintroduction, World hopes to reach more individuals with proof-of-human technology and digital identification.
According to a World blog post, Brazilians will be able to access the site on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. Since its launch in July 2023, the project—which Sam Altman co-founded—has encountered a number of difficulties.
Nevertheless, it has persisted in growing internationally despite legal and regulatory obstacles. Reentering Brazil comes after other nations have introduced the devices, including Costa Rica, Poland, and Austria.
The World App presently has over 16 million users and over 7.5 million unique human verifications, according to the project’s website.
With its launch in Brazil, World ID 3.0—a version that permits anonymous verification in the face of mounting worries about AI-generated bots and deep fakes—allows more people to confirm their human identity.
According to a recent survey, the majority of individuals are becoming more worried about identity theft.
World’s expansion plans include the introduction of World Chain, a layer-2 network on the Superchain, in addition to verification advancements.
With partners Optimism, Uniswap, Alchemy, and Dune, the World Foundation announced in October that the Ethereum-secured network was open to the public.
Additionally, the layer-2 network has incorporated Across, an intent-powered interoperability protocol that facilitates cross-chain transactions and bridges assets like USDC, ETH, and wETH.
