World (WLD) Launches 'World ID' File Service with New Authentication Feature

The technology company 'Tools for Humanity (TFH)', which develops tools for the World Network, announced on the 29th that it has launched the file service of World ID 3.0, which incorporates a new authentication feature, in Korea, Malaysia, Colombia, and Chile. World ID 3.0, first unveiled at the global event 'a new world' of the Worldcoin project on October 17, is a service that incorporates a new authentication feature into the world's first privacy-protecting digital identity system, World ID. This service is expected to significantly affect the accessibility of the World Network and play an important role in expanding the usage scope of World ID. Additionally, through this new authentication, it is expected that the WLD token will be additionally secured in regions where usage is possible. The file service will first be available on iOS, with the Android version expected to be released shortly. World ID authentication allows individuals to verify their identity without disclosing unnecessary personal information by linking valid identification to World ID. While general identification requires the disclosure of unnecessary personal information such as age and address during online verification, World ID can verify with only the necessary information, realizing true privacy protection. Participants in the project can store their NFC-supported authentication information in the World app and verify their identity, nationality, and ownership without revealing personal information through 'Zero-Knowledge Proof'. In this process, no information is shared with TFH, the World Foundation, or any third party, and all information is securely stored only on the individual's device. Meanwhile, the World Foundation allows verified identity holders to receive WLD tokens even without verification.
