World is a privacy-preserving identity network that lets people prove they are unique humans online using iris-based World ID.

What is World?
World combines an iris-scanning Orb, a self-custodial World App wallet, and World Chain to give billions of people a humanness credential that works without revealing identity. Apps integrate World ID through zero-knowledge proofs to gate users, distribute airdrops, or fight sybil attacks. World Chain is a live OP Stack L2 prioritizing human users with gas allowances for verified accounts.
