The expansion will allow more countries to use World ID, the project's AI-related digital passport, and WorldCoin's entry into these countries follows the company's expansion into Europe in July.
On September 19, the project announced the trial operation of a new feature called “Face Auth” that allows users to prove they are human online.
According to Worldcoin, Face Auth offers “private 1:1 facial comparison,” a feature that is only available to individuals who have verified their World ID using a Worldcoin orb.
Earlier this month, interoperability platform Wormhole integrated World ID into Solana, enabling developers on layer-1 blockchains to authenticate users’ World IDs, which were initially verified on Ethereum.
