This repository contains the full documentation for the World ID protocol.
World ID is a protocol that lets you prove a human is doing an action only once without revealing any personal data. Stop bots, stop abuse.
World ID uses a device called the Orb which takes a picture of a person's iris to verify they are a unique and alive human. The protocol uses Zero-knowledge proofs so no traceable information is ever public.
World ID is meant for on-chain web3 apps, traditional cloud applications, and even IRL verifications.
Regardless of how you landed here, the easiest way to get started with World ID is through the the Dev Portal.
Want to see World ID in action? We have a bunch of Examples.
