The World Foundation has announced an initial $52.5 million funding round through a one-year locked token sale led by Pantera Capital, with participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Eightco Holdings, Selini Capital, Susquehanna Crypto, and other strategic investors, coinciding with the third anniversary of World launching its network. The World Network now has more than 39 million members, with nearly 18 million verified through an Orb device across 160 countries and more than 475 million World ID proofs processed to date, as the company shifts from building infrastructure to scaling enterprise adoption with integrations at Zoom, DocuSign, Okta, Vercel, and Tinder. The raise also accompanies World ID 4.0 and the open-sourcing of the World ID SDK, alongside AgentKit, an open-source framework allowing AI agents to cryptographically prove they are acting on behalf of a verified human.
