Briefly
Worldcoin announced that Wormhole has integrated World ID into Solana, allowing developers to integrate it into their apps and platforms.
Worldcoin, a biometric cryptocurrency project, announced that interoperability platform Wormhole has completed its efforts to bring World ID to the Solana blockchain. This development will allow Solana developers to begin integrating World ID into their applications and platforms.
Wormhole is a versatile messaging protocol that facilitates communication between different blockchains, allowing developers and users of cross-chain applications to leverage the unique features and strengths of different blockchain ecosystems.
With Wormhole integrated into Solana, developers can now more efficiently build applications focused on authentic user interactions, improving trust and stability in digital environments.
Previously, World ID was technically usable across multiple blockchains, but only Ethereum developers had direct access to the functionality to verify uniqueness and human identity. With this new integration, Solana-based protocols can now easily authenticate World IDs initially verified on Ethereum, enhancing cross-chain compatibility.
Additionally, to ensure stronger data protection, Ackee is currently conducting a comprehensive security audit of the relevant smart contracts, a process that is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
Wormhole’s achievement of integrating World ID with Solana coincides with the ongoing global rollout of new World ID integrations. A wide range of platforms, from social media and news outlets to Web3 games and online retailers, are adopting World ID to power their operations. Current adopters include Bloomingbit, DRiP, DSCVR, Flojo, Galxe, Reddio, SARAH, and Yay!
What is Worldcoin’s World ID?
Founded in 2023 by Tools for Humanity, Worldcoin positions itself as a “privacy-preserving” initiative for digital identity verification. The project uses iris scanning technology to authenticate users’ identities, and rewards them with small amounts of WLD tokens in return.
World ID is a secure identity protocol designed to allow individuals to verify their identity online while maintaining their privacy. As stated in the project, this protocol provides a privacy-preserving way for individuals to prove their identity in a digital world where the line between human and AI-generated content is increasingly blurred.
Recently, Worldcoin announced that the cross-chain messaging protocol Hyperlane has been officially integrated into World Chain. This addition provides users with efficient cross-chain functionality, further expanding the reach and functionality of World ID across multiple blockchains.
