World Foundation Raises $52.5 Million for Global Expansion of Human Identity Verification

The World Foundation has raised $52.5 million from strategic investors to accelerate the development and global deployment of its 'World ID' technology.

The funding, which comes through a token sale of WLD tokens, will be used to expand the use of World ID in various online services.

According to the World Foundation, the need for reliable methods to verify human identity online is growing rapidly due to the increasing prevalence of AI agents and tools.

The foundation's 'World ID' technology allows users to prove their human identity online without disclosing personal information, using a dedicated authentication device called 'Orb'.
