Solana integrates Worldcoin ID into its ecosystem

Worldcoin's World ID will integrate into Solana's ecosystem following the grant of approximately $70,000 to Wormhole Labs from the Worldcoin Foundation. 

World ID is a central part of the Worldcoin project. By scanning a person's eye with the Worldcoin Orb, an IrisCode is generated which creates a World ID. This process aims to check “identity” and ensure that the user is not a robot.

Once verified, users can use the World app, which allows them to share information while keeping their personal data private through their identification system. The World App also functions as a crypto wallet, allowing users to store Bitcoin , Ethereum and USDC .

To revive the project's momentum, the Worldcoin Foundation launched a grant program, awarding over $830,000 in WLD tokens to support various projects.

One of the beneficiaries of this program is the Wormhole cross-chain protocol, which aims to incorporate World ID into the Solana blockchain. 

Wormhole facilitates the transfer of data and assets in more than 30 block , including Solana, Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. This initiative will bring the World ID, originally developed in Ethereum и Optimism In Solana .

Wormhole integration will allow Solana-based protocols to verify the World IDs in question originally authenticated in Ethereum. This will be achieved through a new Solana smart contract that uses Wormhole Queries, a cross-chain data mining service.
