Sam Altman-backed World’s ‘proof of human’ IDs coming to FIFA, NFL and Pudgy Penguins games
Summary
Web3 projects World and Mythical Games are partnering to integrate World's 'proof of human' ID technology into Mythical's gaming ecosystem to combat bots. Mythical will bring its gamers to the World network and use World IDs for users signing up for titles such as "NFL Rivals," "FIFA Rivals," and the Pudgy Penguins-inspired "Pudgy Party." The companies stated that bots often manipulate in-game economies and snag rewards meant for human players, citing a World study indicating nearly 75% of gamers feel uninvited 'players' detract from fun. World, backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, issues these IDs after an in-person eyeball scan, rewarding users with WLD tokens; the project has over 17 million users. The integration aims to keep Mythical's economies fair and transparent, and Mythical will also launch its MYTHOS chain on the World network, making it the first Layer 3 blockchain on World Chain.
