How Worldcoin’s Orb is Expanding Across the Globe
How can I find a Worldcoin Orb in my city?
This is a question many people ask when they hear about World ID and want to get verified. The simple answer is: Worldcoin is growing fast, and the Orb is now reaching more places than ever before.
Worldcoin has made a big step in creating a system where everyone can prove they are human without needing an ID card or passport. It’s based on a device called the Orb, which helps people verify their identity in a very smart way. And the good thing is, this is spreading to more cities and countries with each passing month.
Let’s understand how it’s happening, how the Orb works, and how people everywhere are getting connected to it.
What is the Orb?
The Orb is a device that looks like a silver ball. It is used to confirm that a person is a real human being, and not a robot or fake profile. When someone stands in front of the Orb, it scans their eyes more specifically, the iris, and checks if that person has already been verified before. It doesn’t store your name, photo, or personal details. It just confirms your uniqueness using mathematical data.
Once verified, you get a World ID, which you can use in the future to access different apps or services that need human verification. It’s like having a digital proof that you are a real person.
Where is the Orb available now?
The number of places where you can find an Orb is increasing every week. Right now, people in many countries can already use it. From big cities like Tokyo and Mexico City to smaller towns in Africa and Latin America, the Orb is becoming more common.
For example, in Japan, you can find it in places like Tokyo’s shopping centers. In India, more locations are expected soon. Countries like Argentina, Chile, Kenya, and Germany are also part of the expansion.
Some Orbs are in shopping malls, some in tech hubs, and some even in cafes. In some places, you can walk in and use it by yourself (self-serve). In other places, there are trained staff to help you (assisted setup). You can check the full list of Orb locations directly on the Orb page.
Why is the Orb expanding so quickly?
There are a few strong reasons. First, people are becoming more aware of online safety. It’s important to know that you’re dealing with real humans on the internet. The Orb makes that possible without needing to share your private information.
Second, Worldcoin is building a system that works for everyone, not just people with government IDs or smartphones. So this idea can help more people be part of the digital economy, especially in countries where many don’t have official documents.
Third, more people are interested in using Worldcoin’s features, including the World App and World ID. As demand increases, more operators are opening new Orb locations. Some even apply to become official Orb operators and help set up verification points in their cities.
How do you get verified?
Getting verified is very simple. First, download the World App on your phone. Then, search for your nearest Orb using the Orb location finder. Pick a location that suits you. Some places require a booking, and others are walk-in.
When you visit, the Orb will scan your iris. It sounds high-tech, but it’s safe and quick. The process usually takes only a minute or two. Once done, your World ID will be ready, and you’ll have access to features and services built on this ID.
What makes the Orb special?
It doesn’t ask for your name or address. It doesn’t take your personal photo or store private details. Instead, it converts your iris scan into a unique code using technology. So your identity remains private, but still verified.
Also, the Orb works the same way everywhere. Whether you are in Nairobi, Berlin, or Kuala Lumpur, the system is the same. This helps maintain fairness and keeps the process smooth for all users.
Another interesting part is that the Orb is open for everyone, young people, students, professionals, and even those without a regular ID. If your country has Orb locations available, you can be verified just by showing up.
Is it useful in daily life?
Yes, it can be. Once you have a World ID, you can use it in apps that ask for proof of humanity. For example, in social media, it can help stop bots or fake accounts. In financial services, it may help prevent fraud. In voting or polls, it can confirm that one person gets one vote.
Also, Worldcoin is working with developers to bring more features and services that use World ID. This includes payments, logins, and other digital tools.
What if there’s no Orb near me yet?
Don’t worry. More Orbs are being added regularly. You can keep checking the Orb locator to see if a new one has come up near your area. Also, if you’re really interested, you can even apply to bring an Orb to your city by becoming an operator. There’s a separate section for that on the main site.
People’s response so far
In many places, people have welcomed the Orb with open arms. They like the idea of having control over their own identity without giving out personal data. Many feel it’s an easy and fair way to connect to digital systems that were previously hard to access.
Even in tech communities, people are talking about how it can improve online platforms by making them more real and safe. As more apps and platforms start accepting World ID, the interest in Orb verification will grow even more.
Wrap-up
The expansion of the Orb is something to watch closely. It shows how fast technology is moving towards making digital identity simpler and more private. If you want to be part of it, just look for the nearest Orb and go get verified. It’s simple, useful, and open for everyone.
As more Orbs reach new places, it becomes easier for people to join the system. This makes the internet a safer and more human space for everyone. Keep checking the official site to see if the Orb has reached your city. Chances are, it will very soon.
