Golden Finance reports that Worldcoin has announced that it will test facial recognition technology for its World App users. A statement said that the new feature "is a private 1:1 facial comparison that ensures that only those who have verified their World ID on the orb can" access the World App. The introduction of this measure is intended to improve the security of users who use the app for tools such as "online shopping, financial transactions, and secure login to applications." According to the organization, nearly 15 million people around the world currently use the World App digital wallet, and about 6.7 million users have officially verified their "identity" using Worldcoin's iris scanning orb. Worldcoin allocates WLD tokens to those who prove their identity and create a World ID through eye scans.
