Worldcoin has announced the debut of World ID integration for Solana, which will use the Wormhole Foundation’s cross-chain technology. This action builds on the foundation’s Worldcoin Wave 1 Community Grant, emphasizing its role in linking decentralized identification solutions across blockchains.
World ID, Worldcoin’s privacy-focused identity verification service, is based on the layer-2 Ethereum network, World Chain, and allows users to securely validate their identity without disclosing personal information.
The integration with Solana opens up additional potential for developers to use World ID in their apps. Co-founder Robinson Burkey stressed the importance of this collaboration, adding that it will allow developers to create services that prioritize real users across chains, hence increasing trust in decentralized ecosystems.
Worldcoin’s World ID service, which had over 6.63 million users on July 31, 2024, has grown rapidly since its inception in July 2023, mainly in Europe and Southeast Asia.
The integration is designed to improve the security and utility of decentralized applications while also increasing the usage of Worldcoin’s World ID service.
