World Enters Phase 3, Expands ID Verification to AI Agents

World has officially entered Phase 3 of its five stage roadmap. The iris scanning identity project, co founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, made the announcement on July 24. The project is shifting its core focus away from bootstrapping user signups with WLD token rewards.

Instead of paying users to join, the network will now focus on selling proof of human verification. This update includes offering verification services to AI agents that act on behalf of users. As artificial intelligence grows more advanced, telling real people apart from automated bots becomes a major challenge for the digital economy.

This move marks a big milestone for the project as it tries to find real world utility beyond token incentives. Traders and market watchers should keep an eye on how adoption grows for these new verification services and whether enterprise demand picks up for AI agent security.
