A notable feature of the project is the World ID protocol which aims to provide individuals with digital passports stored on their smartphones. This enables secure and private verification of identity using biometric data obtained through iris scanning, resulting in a unique identifier known as an IrisHash.

“There are over 4.4 billion people worldwide who do not have a legal identity or have an identity that cannot be digitally verified. This is a huge hurdle when it comes to accessing financial services.”

The new milestone was reached after carrying out the project’s world tour in cities such as Barcelona, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, Buenos Aires and Berlin. The tours resulted in an average of 40,000 single sign-ups each week for a verified GNU.
In its announcement, it is advertiser which – which:
“Getting 2 million World ID subscriptions is more than just an achievement for the Worldcoin community; it’s also a significant milestone in the broader global effort to make digitally verifiable identity accessible to everyone.”
More users lead to more demand for Worldcoin services
The increase in the number of users has also created demand for the “Orb”, the device used to scan the iris of the eye and capture data. As a result, the Orb is expected to become widely available to meet the growing demand in the coming months. In addition, many applications and services have recognized the value of the World ID program. This is also very positive for Worldcoin, as it helps them expand their reach to a larger user base since the services open up the verification model for their dedicated users.
To enroll in the World ID program and obtain a digital passport, individuals need to have their own unique identifier, IrisHash, that confirms their uniqueness. Upon successfully uploading their biometrics, participants are rewarded with WorldCoin (cryptocurrency) for their participation and contributions.
