A worldcoin (WLD) announced on September 13 the launch of World ID on the blockchain Solana (SOL). In its official statement, Worldcoin highlighted that the integration will allow Solana developers to create applications that prioritize real humans.
As explained in his news release, Wormhole, a decentralized interoperability protocol, was involved in completing the launch of World ID on Solana.
“Interoperability platform Wormhole, a recipient of the Worldcoin Community Grants Wave 1, has successfully completed its efforts to bring World ID to Solana, enabling layer 1 blockchain builders to join the growing number of developers already integrating World ID into their applications and platforms.”
Previously, only Ethereum developers had easy access to World ID’s uniqueness and humanity verification. With the recent integration, Solana-based protocols are now able to seamlessly authenticate people’s World IDs that were originally verified on Ethereum. “Developers using Solana can now more easily build applications that prioritize real humans, fostering greater trust in the digital world.”
Robinson Burkey, co-founder of the Wormhole Foundation, commented on the importance of the integration: “Bringing World ID to Solana is a huge step forward in identity verification,” he said. “With the integration of World ID and Wormhole Queries, developers can now easily build applications that prioritize real users across chains, improving trust in decentralized ecosystems.”
Following the launch of World ID on the Solana (SOL) blockchain, the price of the cryptocurrency Worldcoin (WLD) surged by over 7% before retracing to its current price. At the time of publication, the price of Worldcoin was trading at $1,51, up 1.9% in the last 24 hours.
Amid the recent recovery in the broader cryptocurrency market, Solana is up 3.6% to trade at $137,14.
