The Orb is a biometric device developed by Worldcoin that scans a person’s iris to verify their unique identity. It captures the iris pattern, converts it into a numeric code, and uses blockchain technology to store and manage this identity securely. Once verified, users receive a digital ID that proves they're a real human—not a bot—without revealing personal data. The Orb is part of a broader goal to create a global identity system and distribute digital currency fairly. By combining biometrics with blockchain technology, it ensures transparency, decentralization, and tamper-proof identity verification for everyone, anywhere in the world.
