In a single day, 9,500 Argentinians successfully verified their World ID, equivalent to a new verification every 9 seconds.
Summary
Argentina's prowess in innovation and crypto adoption has been underscored once again as a surge in demand for the revolutionary World ID protocol has propelled the nation to achieve a new record for Orb verifications in a single day.
Following the launch of the Worldcoin project on July 24, 2023, the demand for World ID verifications has surged globally. August recorded an unprecedented spike, culminating in a staggering 9,500 Argentinians successfully verifying their World ID within a day. This translates to a new verified human every 9 seconds.
This meteoric rise in demand has currently propelled the World App, to the number one spot in Argentina on the App Store.
Powered by the Wolrdcoin ecosystem, World ID is a cutting-edge global identity protocol that utilizes a Proof of Personhood (PoP) credential issued through the specialized biometric device “Orb”. This gives individuals the ability to digitally establish their humanness while preserving their privacy.
“I think the first major thing that stands out is that Argentina specifically is one of the most crypto-forward countries in the world,” said Alex Blania, Co-founder of the Worldcoin project and CEO of Tools for Humanity, during an insightful fireside conversation on the Ethereum Argentina Mainnet Stage on Friday, August 18.
He also highlighted Argentina's fusion of technological advancement and crypto-savviness, fostering a fertile ground for groundbreaking developments in the field.
Presently, Worldcoin's Orb verifications are available in four prominent Argentine cities: Buenos Aires, Mar del Plata, Cordoba, and Mendoza.
