World, the biometric identification company better known for its eyebrows of eyeball scanning devices, on Wednesday announced several associations aimed at boosting its records and demonstrating the applications of its technology.
World is being associated with Match Group, the conglomerate of appointment application, to verify the identities of Tinder users in Japan using the world identity verification system. In addition, World has established separate collaborations with the startup of the Kalshi prediction market and the Morpho decentralized loan platform; These associations allow customers to log in to these services, use their IDs already registered in World. And World plans to associate with a visa to launch the world card, a card that allows users to spend digital assets anywhere that is accepted visa.
Since its foundation in 2019, World, developed by San Francisco and tools for humanity based in Berlin, has raised hunds of millions of dollars in risk capital and created digital identifications for millions of users. But it has not yet violated the mainstream, partly due to its cumbersome approach to verify the ID.
With these new associations, World Pursues a broader audience, one that could not have considered scanning their eyes balls to verify their “humanity.”
The world card is perhaps the most interesting of the new projects. It is expected that it will be available in the US. At the end of this year, it will connect to the world’s world application and allow users to perform cryptocurrency transactions. The card will automatically exchange Crypt a Fiat when necessary, and will offer certain relevant “subscripts and” specific “subscripts and services.
World had a surprise in the store in its Wednesday event: a collaboration with Stripe to allow users to pay with World on websites and applications enabled for Stripe. The company did not say when this could go live.
