The Worldcoin development team TFH partners with Gap, Visa, and Tinder to promote the World ID human verification product.

BlockBeats News, February 27th, according to The Wall Street Journal, Sam Altman, founder of OpenAI, partnered with Gap, Visa, and Tinder through Tools for Humanity (TFH) to promote the World ID human verification product (identity verification technology to distinguish humans from robots).

At a Gap store in San Francisco, visitors have begun to receive World ID. The process involves installing its iconic volleyball-sized "Orb" device to collect facial and ocular images. Meanwhile, a planned Visa payment card will enable World ID holders to spend digital assets, including Worldcoin — a cryptocurrency that people receive as a reward when signing up in most markets. In addition, the dating app Tinder is testing the identity system in Japan to verify that users are real individuals and that their age matches their claims.

The company stated that its Orb device will convert an individual's facial and iris images into an anonymous string of numbers and store them on the user's own device, with Tools for Humanity itself not retaining this data. TFH's Chief Business Officer, Trevor Traina, said the company aims to generate revenue by charging applications — each time an app uses a user's World ID to confirm their status as a real person, the company will levy a fee.
