Sam Altman-backed World’s ‘proof of human’ IDs coming to FIFA, NFL and Pudgy Penguins games

High-profile web3 projects World and Mythical Games are joining forces in an effort to distinguish human gamers from bots.

As part of the integration Mythical will bring its gamers to the World network while also leveraging World’s “proof of human” ID technology for gamers signing up or signing on to play one of its titles, which include “NFL Rivals,” “FIFA Rivals,” and the Pudgy Penguins-inspired “Pudgy Party.”

“While bots do have a place in gaming, they can also be used to manipulate in-game economies, gain an unfair advantage, and snag rewards that should go to human players,” the two companies said in their statement. “Nearly 75% of gamers say these uninvited ‘players’ are making games less fun,” they also said, citing a World study from April.

World, which is backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, issues World IDs to users willing to prove their humanity by undergoing an in-person eyeball scan. Those who sign up are rewarded with World’s native WLD tokens. The project has signed up more than 17 million users, according to World’s website.

“Millions of players flock to Mythical’s titles not only because they’re fun, but also because the Mythical platform lets them truly own and trade their game assets,” the companies said. “By integrating proof of human, Mythical ensures those economies stay fair and transparent.”

Mythical said it will also launch its MYTHOS chain on the World network, making it the first Layer 3 blockchain to be built on World Chain.
