A cryptocurrency initiative that gained attention last year with its iris-scanning technology has transitioned to a new blockchain.
As stated in a recent blog announcement from Sam Altman’s Worldcoin (WLD), the identity-driven project is now moving to Solana (SOL) through the Wormhole interoperability platform.
Robinson Burkey, co-founder of the Wormhole Foundation, commented:
“Integrating World ID with Solana marks a significant advancement in identity verification. With World ID and Wormhole Queries integration, developers can easily create applications that emphasize genuine users across various chains, thereby enhancing trust within decentralized ecosystems.”
World ID is Worldcoin’s decentralized identity protocol designed to establish a more verifiable human presence within the crypto ecosystem. Initially launched on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain, users can now authenticate IDs on Solana that were originally created on ETH, as per the announcement.
In April of this year, Worldcoin unveiled its own ETH layer-2 blockchain called World Chain.
“Similar to other areas of the internet, many issues faced by blockchains today are intensified by ‘bots’. Some estimates suggest that around 80% of blockchain transactions are automated, which, although some serve legitimate purposes, unproductive bots like those engaged in airdrop farming tend to cause network congestion and higher fees. Ironically, this worsens as blockchains adjust for low gas fees and enhanced throughput.
World Chain seeks to tackle this challenge using World ID. Just as individuals can use World ID to anonymously verify their humanity on platforms like Discord and Subreddits, they will also be able to authenticate their addresses on World Chain. This process is optional and anonymized through zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring that addresses remain entirely disconnected from the user’s identity, providing something like a verification checkmark.”
