This achievement comes two and a half months after receiving the Wormhole Foundation's WorldCoin Wave 1 Community Grant, making the project a key player in connecting decentralized identity solutions across multiple blockchains.
World ID, Worldcoin's privacy-focused identity verification service, is built on the layer-2 Ethereum network, World Chain. It allows users to securely authenticate themselves without revealing personal information, facilitating private and authenticated logins for DApps. The integration with Solana, one of the fastest growing blockchain ecosystems, opens up new opportunities for developers to implement Global Identity into their applications.
Wormhole Foundation co-founder Robinson Berkey highlighted the importance of this collaboration, saying, “Bringing World ID to Solana is a huge step forward in identity verification.
By integrating global identity and wormhole queries, developers can now easily build applications that prioritize real users on-chain, improving trust in a decentralized ecosystem.
In the year It is part of Worldcoin's broader strategy to adopt the World ID service, which had more than 6.63 million users as of July 31, 2024. The company has seen rapid growth since its launch in July 2023, particularly in Europe and Southeast Asia.
Worldcoin recently expanded to Austria, making it the second European country to host its services. However, privacy concerns have led to the banning of works in Spain.
As chain compatibility becomes increasingly important to blockchain ecosystems, this integration is expected to enhance the security and utility of decentralized applications and further enhance Worldcoin's global identity service.
Despite its launch, the price of Worldcoin's native token WLD is down 4.73% to $1.52 at press time. The token earlier tested the intra-day low of $1.46 and saw a sharp decline before rallying slightly at the current price.
