Golden Finance reports that Worldcoin will be testing facial recognition technology for its World App users. A statement claims that the new feature "is a private 1:1 facial comparison that ensures only those who have verified their World ID on the orb can" access the World App. The introduction of this measure is intended to enhance security for users using the app for tools such as "online shopping, financial transactions and secure logins."

According to the organization, there are currently nearly 15 million people using the World App digital wallet globally, with approximately 6.7 million users having formally verified their "identity" using Worldcoin's iris-scanning orbs. Worldcoin allocates WLD tokens to those who prove their identity through eye scans and create a World ID.
