Overview

World ID 3.0 is the identity-protocol upgrade announced by World (formerly Worldcoin) at its "A New World" keynote in San Francisco on 17 October 2024. Its headline addition is World ID Credentials, which let users read data from an NFC-enabled passport into the World App so they can prove attributes such as age, nationality or passport ownership without disclosing their full identity. The release also introduced anti-fraud and anti-deepfake tooling, presented under the name Deep Face, as part of a broader push into privacy-preserving proof of personhood. It was announced alongside the rebrand to World, a new Orb design and the launch of the World Chain layer-2 network.
