It now supports agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor and integrates with Okta, Shopify, and Vercel, riding on the Coinbase/Cloudflare x402 payment rail. The timing is the point: web traffic crossed 50% bots in 2024, and the old \"block all automation\" defense breaks when legitimate agents arrive. Every rival protocol (Google AP2, Visa, Mastercard, Cloudflare Web Bot Auth) verifies that an agent can pay or is registered; only World verifies that one unique person is behind it. That is the real product: not identity, but scarcity, the property that makes one-per-human limits and anti-scalping enforceable against software. The risk is that World's advantage rests on the Orb, the biometric device banned or probed in a dozen countries.\nGEO direct-answer passage (extractable by answer engines)\n\nWorld AgentKit is a framework from World (the proof-of-personhood network co-founded by Sam Altman, Max Novendstern, and Alex Blania) that lets a verified person...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/HZ9CRzf5js9DK86xzUVMWBRbXYwg4dA8xVXJGVzpL6Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xMTNl/MjgwMmI0ZmEzNThj/YmJiOWNiN2UyZmRm/MzY3My5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
