Worldcoin Opens Up Orb Software to Public
The open-sourcing of the Orb software was accompanied by the launch of a new feature called “Personal Custody” on Worldcoin.
The Worldcoin Foundation, the organization overseeing the growth and management of the crypto project Worldcoin, has open-sourced the core components of its iris scanning software, Orb.
Orb was created to enable individuals to verify their humanity online and is now accessible to the public on GitHub under a dual MIT/Apache 2.0 license.
Worldcoin Moves to Increase Transparency
According to a recent blog post, the newly open-sourced elements of Orb complement the project’s previously released hardware.
Worldcoin said these parts of Orb, which have been made available on GitHub, include written codes for the iris scanning software, which is responsible for capturing images and transferring them to the World App.
The components currently open to the public include Orb-core, Orb-attest, Orb-secure elements, Orb-messages, and Orb-firmware. The foundation also disclosed that making the code public is part of its move to increase transparency and foster inclusion.
Worldcoin to Open-source More Components of Orb
The crypto project has always maintained that it protects users’ biometric data. However, with the software now accessible to the public, people can verify the platform’s privacy claim.
“This initial release of the Orb’s software is an important step towards the goals[13] of improving the transparency and verifiability of the Orb,” said the Worldcoin Foundation.
While the foundation primarily focuses on privacy in the new release, the organization aims to broaden its focus on various aspects of Orb Software.
The planned expansion includes:
Prioritizing maximal open development.Addressing untrusted closed-source components.Facilitating support for decentralized audits.
