World Expands Global Human Verification in 2025

In 2025, World made significant strides in realizing its ambitious vision of creating a global network of verified humans, according to world.org. The organization, which aims to build trust in an era increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence, reported a user base of nearly 38 million, with verified individuals across six continents.

Global Expansion and Key Markets

This year, World expanded its presence in Europe and Asia, launching in the United Kingdom and Taiwan, thereby enhancing access to its human verification services for millions. A notable achievement was its entry into the United States, the birthplace of the AI revolution. The opening of a flagship location in San Francisco’s Union Square received extensive media coverage and was attended by prominent civic leaders.

Technological Advancements

World introduced its next-generation Orb, powered by NVIDIA Jetson processors, offering nearly five times the AI performance of previous models. The production of these Orbs in a new Texas facility marked a significant milestone, allowing for scalable manufacturing with fewer components. In a commitment to transparency, World open-sourced its Orb hardware, inviting further innovation and collaboration.

World App: A New Era of Connectivity

The launch of the revamped World App in December marked a pivotal moment for the organization. This all-encompassing application redefined user interaction by facilitating secure communication, digital asset management, and participation in the global economy. With features like World Chat and virtual accounts, the app supports secure, end-to-end encrypted messaging and enables users to receive payments in USDC. Additionally, over 500 Mini Apps, spanning prediction markets to DeFi lending, have broadened the app’s ecosystem.

Future Outlook

As AI continues to revolutionize possibilities, World remains focused on ensuring technology serves humanity rather than replacing it. Looking ahead, the organization plans to enhance its offerings through continuous innovation, expanded accessibility, and deeper integration with daily-use platforms. The progress achieved in 2025 signifies a foundational shift towards a more authentic and engaged human network.
