The expansion adds to the growing number of countries where the World ID, the project’s AI related digital passport, are available. Worldcoin’s entry into these countries comes on the back of the company’s expansion in Europe in July.
On Sept. 19, the project announced its test launch of Face Auth, a new feature that allows for proof of humanness online.
According to Worldcoin, Face Auth offers a “private 1:1 face comparison.” With this feature, only individuals who verify their World IDs using a Worldcoin orb can use it.
Earlier this month, interoperability platform Wormhole integrated World ID on Solana, allowing developers on the layer-1 blockchain to authenticate users’ World IDs initially verified on Ethereum.
