About World
Founded in 2019, we build technology for online identity, finance, and community.
Our main product is World ID, an anonymous way for people to prove they are unique humans online, even as AI becomes more common. This helps us access services like financial platforms, concert ticket sales, dating apps, and video games that need human verification.
To get a World ID, you visit an Orb device. Once verified, your data is encrypted, sent to your phone, and then permanently deleted from the Orb. This ensures you keep control of your data.
We also offer:
- World App, which accesses all World ID features.
- World Chain, a blockchain built for human users.
- World ID Credentials, which link valid IDs (like NFC-enabled passports) to your World ID to prove additional details without sharing sensitive information.
- Deep Face, which confirms a person’s real-time presence to counter deepfakes.
- Gaming Integrations, where World ID verifies accounts on platforms like Razer ID.
- Outtake Verify for Email, which ensures business emails come from verified humans.
- Face Auth, which adds an extra layer of security for World ID users through live confirmation in the World App.
Millions of people in 160 countries currently use World ID.
