- Billions.Network has launched a privacy-focused digital identity verification platform that doesn’t rely on biometric data, positioning itself as an alternative to systems like World (formerly Worldcoin).
- The platform uses zero-knowledge proof technology to verify both human and AI identities, with over 9,000 projects already implementing its Circom verification framework.
- Major financial institutions including Deutsche Bank and HSBC have tested the system, while the company is working with the Indian government to integrate with the Aadhaar identity framework.
Billions.Network has unveiled a new digital identity verification platform designed to provide users with a non-biometric alternative to existing systems, including Sam Altman’s World project (previously known as Worldcoin). The platform leverages zero-knowledge proof technology to create a privacy-focused method for verifying both human and AI identities in digital environments.
According to the company, more than 9,000 projects have already implemented its underlying verification framework called Circom. Notable adopters include TikTok, Top Doctors, and even World itself.
Financial sector interest appears substantial, with Billions.Network telling Decrypt that major institutions including Deutsche Bank and HSBC have conducted proof-of-concept trials with the system.
The launch comes at a critical time as regulatory scrutiny of digital identity systems intensifies and concerns mount over AI-driven fraud tactics. Deepfakes, Sybil attacks (where multiple fake identities are created by a single entity), and bot activities have created an urgent need for more secure verification methods.
What distinguishes Billions.Network’s approach is its ability to confirm user identities without storing sensitive biometric data. This addresses privacy concerns that have plagued other verification systems in the marketplace.
“Billions is creating a world where each human can be uniquely identified and unlock personalized benefits in the age of AI with verification solutions that are universally accessible and scalable,” stated Evin McMullen, CEO and co-founder of Billions.Network.
Unlike competing biometric verification models, this platform doesn’t require specialized proprietary hardware and offers token-based incentives to users. The company has also revealed ongoing work with the Indian government to integrate its system with Aadhaar, India‘s national identity framework.
The development team behind Billions.Network previously created Privado ID, a company focused on institutional verification solutions. The project originated as PolygonID, a digital identity system built on the Polygon blockchain, before evolving into its current form as a more comprehensive verification network.
