World ID, a proof-of-human protocol developed by World, has verified over 16 million users globally as of September 2025, with notable expansion in the APAC region, including Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. The protocol aims to differentiate humans from bots in the AI era, emphasizing privacy and decentralization through Anonymized Multi-Party Computation (AMPC) for data security. Adrian, Chief Architect and CISO at Tools for Humanity, underscores the protocol's design focus on privacy. Despite the volatility of the WLD token, which supports network adoption, the initiative seeks to establish proof of human as a fundamental infrastructure, akin to utilities like electricity, while navigating regulatory and economic challenges.
