World (Worldcoin)

aid: worldcoin
name: World (Worldcoin)
description: World (formerly Worldcoin, built by Tools for Humanity) is a proof-of-personhood network combining biometric
  Orb verification, the World App wallet, and World Chain - an OP Stack L2 prioritised for verified humans. World's developer
  platform at docs.world.org exposes World ID (anonymous proof of human), Mini Apps (apps distributed inside World App via
  MiniKit), AgentKit (distinguishing human-backed agents from bots), and World Chain (EVM RPC, contracts, indexers). World
  ID integrations use IDKit (web/React widget) and the Verify API on the developer portal at developer.worldcoin.org.

  description: Anonymous proof-of-human credential. Users prove uniqueness via Orb (highest assurance), government document
    with NFC, or selfie liveness check (beta). Applications request a zero-knowledge proof tied to a per-app nullifier so
    the user cannot sybil-attack the same action twice while remaining unlinkable across apps.
