đ World IDs are now part of the Solana ecosystem, marking another step in the expansion of Ethereum-centric projects into the world of Solana. Powered by the interoperability protocol Wormhole, World IDâs state roots are being seamlessly bridged from Ethereum to Solana.
Hereâs everything you need to know! đ
đ What is World ID?
World ID, created by Worldcoin (co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman), is designed as a âglobal digital passportâ for the AI age. It uses advanced Orb technology to scan irises, ensuring each World ID is unique, while privacy remains a priority. đ
đ How It Works
⢠World IDâs state roots (snapshots of account balances and more) are bridged from Ethereum to Solana through Wormhole.
⢠Early Solana-native projects like DRiP, DSCVR, and Flojo are already exploring this integration!
⥠Why Solana?
Solanaâs low fees make it ideal for high-traffic applications, but thatâs also led to issues with spam and bots. World IDs aim to reduce sybil attacks and ensure that community airdrops reach real users â rather than bots. đ¤
đ° Potential Use Cases
⢠Airdrop Verification: Make sure airdrops go to real users.
⢠Micropayments: Use World IDs in social proof systems, pay-per-content, and micro-transactions in video games! đŽ
⢠Reduce Spam: World IDs can help filter out bots and improve user experience on Solana. đ
â ď¸ Legal Hurdles
While there are 6.6 million World IDs in existence, growth is slowed by legal challenges in multiple jurisdictions. Worldcoin is under scrutiny over how data is generated and stored. Despite this, the technology continues to expand into new territories!
đ Stay Updated: As the project progresses, keep an eye on official Binance channels to avoid impersonators.
