Worldcoin Opens Up Orb Software to Public

The Worldcoin Foundation, the organization overseeing the growth and management of the crypto project Worldcoin, has open-sourced the core components of its iris scanning software, Orb.

Orb was created to enable individuals to verify their humanity online and is now accessible to the public on GitHub under a dual MIT/Apache 2.0 license.

Worldcoin Moves to Increase Transparency

According to a recent blog post, the newly open-sourced elements of Orb complement the project’s previously released hardware.

Worldcoin said these parts of Orb, which have been made available on GitHub, include written codes for the iris scanning software, which is responsible for capturing images and transferring them to the World App.

The components currently open to the public include Orb-core, Orb-attest, Orb-secure elements, Orb-messages, and Orb-firmware. The foundation also disclosed that making the code public is part of its move to increase transparency and foster inclusion.
