World is a new standard of trust for the internet: Private proof of human, powerful financial infrastructure and the human-first experiences they enable.

From social platforms to dating apps to video calls to ticket sales and more, World is making the internet more human.

Use World ID to prove you are a unique human, without revealing anything else about you. World ID ensures that dating, ticket sales, games, online communities and many other internet services advantage humans first – not bots or fake accounts.

WLD is the native token of the real human network. It is a digital asset that can function according to the rules created by the community of World—meaning its features are adaptable to the use cases of different persons or organizations.

World Chain is permissionless, open source and designed for a community of real humans.

It is secured by Ethereum as an L2 and engineered for scalability.

The mission of World is to build the world’s largest identity and financial network as a public utility, giving ownership to everyone. The project’s goals regarding the Worldcoin token, WLD, are as follows:

The majority of WLD tokens will be claimed by individuals simply for being verified unique humans. The majority of humans alive today will claim WLD tokens, which may result in WLD becoming the most widely distributed digital currency. The WLD token, alongside World ID, will be used for protocol governance. The WLD token will form the basis of the largest anonymous identity and financial network.

WLD is designed as a cryptocurrency with governance properties, with the goal of eventually empowering users by giving them a say over the future of the protocol. Beyond conventional “one-token-one-vote” governance mechanisms, the introduction of World ID paves the way for “one-person-one-vote” mechanisms. These two mechanisms can be combined in many ways to enable new ways of governance.

The community of users may determine the token’s utility for governance, but a few other use cases could emerge. For example, users may decide to use WLD within the World Network ecosystem to access features within World App or another wallet app, such as tipping, buying and selling goods, or signaling their support for causes or initiatives.

World Foundation is currently governing the project and is working toward progressively decentralizing governance and the ecosystem. The goal of decentralization will be aided by World Foundation’s unique approach of giving the majority of the WLD token supply to participants of World Network—simply for being humans.
