World enters its third phase, shifting towards practical drivers and introducing the World ID fee mechanism

The world has entered the third phase of 'The Simple Plan', with the growth model shifting towards practicality driven. World focuses on the application of World ID in enterprise, personal, and AI agent scenarios, and concentrates resources on high-density cities such as San Francisco and New York in the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. The next generation Orb will shift towards self-service mode, with the goal of achieving 95% self-service operation by the end of 2026. World ID 4.0 introduces a fee mechanism, where the certificate issuer and protocol can charge fees to the user, and end users can use the protocol for free.
