About the Orb
Central to World's launch is the "Proof-of-Personhood" system, facilitated by our unique biometric device, the Orb. This advanced imaging device is crucial for verifying human identity and ensuring an individual hasn’t already claimed their free share of Worldcoin.

Our privacy-preserving approach to Proof-of-Personhood is detailed further in the World whitepaper.
