Worldcoin announces major expansion, altcoin jumps!

Worldcoin, the crypto startup founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, announced a major collaboration on Wednesday. Worldcoin has announced a major expansion of its eye-scan identity platform, including integrations with major tech firms and a new multi-level verification system for the World ID “digital passport.” Tiago Sada, product manager at Tools for Humanity, the company behind Worldcoin, said in an interview that World ID 2.0 is a “monumental upgrade” for the protocol that combines “the ideas originally laid out in the white paper” with “the feedback we heard from developers.”

Sada stated that Worldcoin will begin offering on-site participation in its proof of identity service in Singapore and Mexico. He also named several companies that will begin allowing users to sign in using World ID, including Shopify, Mercado Libre, Minecraft, Reddit, and Telegram. Tools for Humanity said in a statement that the 2.0 update will help these new partners “by making it easier to distinguish between bots and verified people online.”

Following the news, the altcoin price jumped from the red zone to the green zone. While WLD was traded at $2.3 during the day, it jumped to $2.53 with the development. Although the token lost slight altitude later on, it continues to trade in the green zone. The token is running around 2% in the green at a time when the market is generally declining.
