World ID

Anonymous proof-of-human credential. Users prove uniqueness via Orb (highest assurance), government document with NFC, or selfie liveness check (beta). Applications request a zero-knowledge proof tied to a per-app nullifier so the user cannot sybil-attack the same action twice while remaining unlinkable across apps.
