The company says its proof-of-human network now tops 18 million verified users and 450 million World ID uses, while new partnerships extend verification into Zoom, DocuSign, Tinder and AI-agent tools.
World said on July 28 that it has entered the third phase of “The Simple Plan,” its long-term roadmap for expanding World ID across businesses, consumer platforms and AI agents as the company marks its third anniversary. The company said it has verified more than 18 million users and recorded more than 450 million cumulative uses of World ID, while World ID 4.0 broadens its proof-of-human technology across B2B services, consumer apps and AI environments. New partnerships include Deep Face integration with Zoom to check whether meeting participants are the same person, a DocuSign feature to verify the party approving a contract, Tinder profile verification in the U.S. and Japan, and work with Vercel and Okta through AgentKit to verify AI-agent permissions. World also highlighted South Korea as a priority market, citing a Catchtable pilot to stop bots from tying up restaurant bookings and an offline-linked verification event tied to the 2025 Nexon Icons Match. The update builds on World’s broader Phase 3 transition away from relying on WLD token rewards for growth and toward charging application-level verification fees while keeping protocol use free for end users.
