World in 2025

30 ธันวาคม 2568 ▪ ใช้เวลาอ่าน 2 นาที

This year marked a turning point. What began as an ambitious vision for a real human network became something tangible: a global movement of verified humans, building trust in an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.

The numbers tell part of the story. World grew to nearly 38 million users, with [insert real-time ticker of Orb-verified humans] verified humans spanning six continents. In 2025, someone signed up for World App every 1.7 seconds. Every 3.6 seconds, another person verified. In September, World App became the most-used self-custody digital wallet globally by monthly active users. Mini Apps saw two billion opens in just over a year.

But the numbers only hint at what 2025 really meant for World. The full picture emerges through the places we went, the technology we built, and the partnerships we forged.

Going global

This year saw World expand to new markets in Europe and Asia, including the UK and Taiwan. Each launch expanded access to proof of human verification to millions more people.

Then came the homecoming. The United States launch brought World to the birthplace of the AI revolution. The San Francisco flagship opening in Union Square garnered front-page coverage in the San Francisco Chronicle and brought together civic leaders including Mayor Daniel Lurie and Governor Gavin Newsom.

Technology that serves humans
