The World project has introduced the "most significant update" to the World ID protocol, positioning the system as a consumer-focused proof of human infrastructure for businesses and AI agents.

New Architecture

The upgrade is based on a shift to an account-based architecture: key rotation and support for multiple keys, access recovery, and session management make the protocol suitable for corporate use. 

One-time nullifiers are designed to enhance anonymity guarantees, while a new open-source SDK allows any application to act as a World ID authenticator.

Simultaneously, the project launched the World ID app, specifically designed for managing and utilizing online identity verification. The product is initially available as a public beta.

Project Partners

According to World, several consumer platforms have continued to integrate the proof of human infrastructure to enhance trust:

  • Tinder — has expanded the implementation of World ID in the U.S. Verified users receive a badge on their profile and five free Boosts. The partnership previously operated in other markets;
  • Zoom — became the first communication platform to integrate Deep Face directly into calls, providing a three-way identity match: Orb verification, real-time Face Auth selfie, and the current video frame;
  • Docusign — document signers confirm through World ID that they are living individuals, not bots;
  • Vercel — integrates human-in-the-loop for AI agent creators and workflows using the company's SDK. Any step in the action chain can require human verification — with full auditing;
  • Okta — plans to launch the Human Principal product, allowing API developers to verify whether a real person is behind an agent and apply policies based on this. World ID is a key integration partner;
  • Match Group — is implementing Razer ID technology based on World ID as a standard for gaming;
  • Mythical Games — utilizes user authentication in the gaming economy.

Focus on AI Agents

World emphasized that the update prepares the infrastructure for a new class of users — AI agents. The protocol will allow verification that each assistant is backed by a unique individual. This becomes critical as autonomous systems become more widespread.

Recall that in March, World introduced the AgentKit product for identity verification in the agent internet.
