About

Worldcoin is building the world’s largest identity and financial network as a public utility, giving ownership to everyone. World ID is the protocol to bring global proof of personhood to the internet, built to be privacy-first, decentralized and self-custodial. Here's a few things we'll consider while judging your project: - Is there a meaningful problem being solved with World ID? Does the project have potential to solve a real problem in production? - Was the project fully integrated on both the frontend and backend? Does the integration work end-to-end? - Is the project introducing novel implementations or new tech? - Is the project posing a creative solution to a problem? Is World ID being used in a new way?

Prizes

🥇 Best Overall ⸺ $5,000

This prize is for the best overall use of World ID! You can use either Anonymous Actions or Sign In with Worldcoin. Your World ID integration should be fully functional end-to-end in our staging environment (or using a testnet if on-chain), so there's no need to deploy to a production environment unless you'd like to!

Qualification Requirements

To be eligible for this prize, you must fully integrate World ID. If you're using Anonymous Actions, this means you must verify the proof returned from IDKit using our API or smart contracts. Projects that do not verify the proof correctly will not be eligible for this prize.

🧑‍🎨 Most Creative ⸺ $2,500

This prize is for the most creative use case of World ID! You can use either Anonymous Actions or Sign In with Worldcoin.

Qualification Requirements

This track is for novel use cases of World ID. We're looking for applications that make us say, "Why didn't we think of that?" Your application should fully integrate World ID to be eligible for this prize.

🧑‍⚖️ Best Governance App ⸺ $2,500

This prize is for the best governance use case of World ID. "Governance" is a broad term, and a broad range of projects may be eligible for this prize! Some examples of use cases can include democratic voting, DAO governance, petition systems, etc.

Qualification Requirements

This track is for governance use cases of World ID. Your application should fully integrate World ID to be eligible for this prize.

🤖 Best AI Use Case ⸺ $2,500

This prize is for the best AI use case of World ID. This can include, but is not limited to, AI safety, AI detection, or ensuring training data isn't tainted by AI-generated content. Your project should solve a problem related to AI or directly include AI.

Qualification Requirements

This track is for projects that integrate World ID in combination with AI or use World ID to solve a problem related to AI. Your application should fully integrate World ID to be eligible for this prize -- simply using AI without World ID does not make your project eligible.

This prize is for the best integration of Sign In with Worldcoin! Any project using World ID for sign in is in contention for this prize.

Qualification Requirements

To be eligible for this prize, your project must use Sign In with Worldcoin by leveraging our OIDC provider. You can integrate it in multiple ways: directly interact with the OIDC provider, use an authentication engine such as NextAuth.js, or use our Auth0 integration.
