In a significant milestone for the Worldcoin project, more than 200,000 people in Chile have now verified their World ID, marking a substantial surge in demand for the privacy-preserving digital identity protocol. With a population of approximately 19.5 million residents, this achievement represents over 1% of the country’s populace.
Worldcoin, a revolutionary project that seeks to establish a global digital currency and identity system, has been making waves since its launch in July. The substantial adoption of its World ID protocol in Chile highlights the growing acceptance of this innovative concept.
To keep pace with the escalating demand, Tools for Humanity (TFH), a key contributor to the Worldcoin project, has expanded its operations beyond the capital city, Santiago. The organization has recently commenced operations in Vina del Mar and Concepcion, two prominent cities in Chile. This strategic move aims to ensure accessibility to the World ID verification process for residents across the country.

The expansion into Vina del Mar and Concepcion complements the existing operations in Santiago, the nation’s capital. This geographic diversity reflects the project’s commitment to reach and serve citizens across all regions of Chile.
This remarkable achievement in Chile aligns with Worldcoin’s broader global engagement strategy. The project has been actively involved in scaling up its operations and partnerships worldwide, contributing to the ongoing growth of the digital currency and identity ecosystem.
During a recent fireside conversation on the Ethereum Argentina Mainnet Stage, Alex Blania, the co-founder of the Worldcoin project and CEO of Tools for Humanity, expressed his enthusiasm for the region’s response to innovative projects like Worldcoin. He noted, “People are much more sensitive and much more understanding of the fundamental principles of crypto. It’s a combination of having a very technologically advanced country in general and then also a crypto-forward country specifically, which makes it an explosive building ground for the next wave of innovation in this space.”
Blania’s remarks underscore the favorable environment that Chile and South America offer for blockchain and cryptocurrency projects. With a population increasingly receptive to cutting-edge technologies, it comes as no surprise that the adoption of Worldcoin’s privacy-preserving digital identity protocol has exceeded expectations in Chile.
The Worldcoin team remains committed to its mission of providing a secure and accessible digital identity solution for individuals worldwide. As the project continues to grow, the impact on regions like South America becomes increasingly evident. With over 200,000 World ID verifications in Chile alone, Worldcoin is making strides toward reshaping the future of digital identity on a global scale.
