Worldcoin-Gründer Alex Blania

• How does Worldcoin work? (by Vitalik Buterin – founder of Ethereum; source: blogpost)
• Each Worldcoin user installs an app on their phone, which generates a private and public key, much like an Ethereum wallet. They then go in-person to visit an „Orb“. The user stares into the Orb’s camera, and at the same time shows the Orb a QR code generated by their Worldcoin app, which contains their public key. The Orb scans the user’s eyes, and uses complicated hardware scanning and machine-learned classifiers to verify that:
  1. The user is a real human
  2. The user’s iris does not match the iris of any other user that has previously used the system
• If both scans pass, the Orb signs a message approving a specialized hash of the user’s iris scan. The hash gets uploaded to a database – currently a centralized server, intended to be replaced with a decentralized on-chain system once they are sure the hashing mechanism works. The system does not store full iris scans; it only stores hashes, and these hashes are used to check for uniqueness. From that point forward, the user has a „World ID„.
