The global project focused on digital identity and finance, Worldcoin (WLD), has recently introduced World ID 2.0 in Singapore, in the latest sign of growing global interest in proof of personhood and the Worldcoin project, allowing users to verify their humanness at an Orb.
According to the official statement from Worldcoin, the introduction of World ID 2.0 in Singapore comes after the successful launch of the tool and the subsequent open-sourcing of the Worldcoin iris recognition pipeline in mid-December.
