For those who couldn’t make it, here’s what was announced
@worldnetwork Lift Off (April 17, San Francisco):
World ID 4.0 - Full protocol rewrite. Account-based architecture with multi-key support, key rotation, session management. One-time nullifiers for unlinkability across apps.
Standalone World ID App - New app separate from
@useworldapp wallet, just for managing credentials and authenticators. Public beta now.
Selfie Check - New low-friction verification tier. Three levels now: Orb (high), Official ID/NFC (medium), Selfie (low).
AgentKit - Developer toolkit for AI agents w/
@CoinbaseDev. Agent delegation (users can delegate World ID to agents), human-in-the-loop approvals, agentic commerce.

@sama opened,
@tiagosada and Daniel Shorr did most of the product reveals. Alex,
@tawandamahere, and Zoom CEO Eric Yuan did a live Zoom demo where a deepfake of Alex was on the call and real Alex proved himself using World ID from his hospital bed.
