As millions of agents start to come online, the internet needs to distinguish bot armies from the agents acting on behalf of humans.
Introducing AgentKit, the human layer for agentic automation. Built on World ID, the AgentKit beta unlocks human-verified automation, a new primitive for the agent economy.
Tinder is raising the standard of authenticity among dating apps by integrating the unique human badge from World ID verification.
Verified human profiles will be boosted so more users have confidence that they're talking to a real human.
Excited for this collaboration to increase trust in online social interactions among humans.
Great to see this and other pioneering innovation at the Tinder Sparks event today!

BREAKING: Inside Sam Altman's "Proof of Human" Company 'Tools for Humanity'
CEO & Co-Founder, Alex Blania
As agents like OpenClaw explode, OpenAI calls the future “extremely multi-agent”
If bots can act human at scale, humanity becomes the ultimate infrastructure.
We unpack:
• 38M+ users, 17M+ verified humans
• Why “combating bots is a lost cause”
• Why platforms will need proof-of-human
• 99%+ of internet traffic could be AI
• The “last innings before superintelligence”
• Why platforms like X may not be usable very soon
+ we dive into Merge Labs, @alexblania & Sam's latest co-founding, a BCI research lab with $252M in seed funding at a $850M valuation

World ID is evolving -- and we want your input!
A few things I'm excited about:
- Support for multiple keys & authenticators, allowing you to use your World ID on more platforms
- Much better recovery flows
- Relying Party authentication
- Groundwork for more Credential Issuers
🌍 The Year of Worldchain.
One chain dominated the charts, driving 91% of all Safe transactions.

Safe Wrapped 2025.
Caltrain ridership numbers are out. Electrification is a massive boost, but ridership still struggles compared to pre-pandemic numbers.
