How Worldcoin Verification Works — And Why It’s So Important in the Digital Age

In today’s digital world, anyone can create multiple fake accounts, bots can mimic real users, and AI can generate realistic profiles in seconds. This makes it harder to know who’s real online.
That’s where Worldcoin comes in — a global project aiming to create a proof-of-personhood system through the World App and its device called the Orb.

The Orb is a small, silver sphere that scans your iris — not to collect personal data, but to generate a unique cryptographic code that confirms you’re a real, unique person.
The process is fast: once you visit an Orb Operator and complete your scan, the system assigns you a World ID. This ID lets you access services, rewards, and even log in to supported apps securely — without sharing your personal info.

This is important because it gives every verified person a digital identity they control, free from traditional government or corporate systems. It’s a step toward a fairer, global financial system where everyone can participate equally — not just those with access to banks.

Guidelines:

 

Bring a valid ID when going for your Orb verification.
Schedule your scan through the World App to avoid long lines.
Only use official Orbs — always double-check the location in the app.
Remember: your iris image isn’t stored — it’s converted into encrypted data.
