How does it work? A basketball-sized device called an orb scans your eyeball. Just like a fingerprint, the iris has unique characteristics.
After scanning, Worldcoin offers a World ID in their app to act as a kind of digital passport that establishes your humanity. This ID is in high demand as proof of identity is increasingly required by commercial and government organizations in the age of artificial entities on the Internet.
