Orb Minis May Finally Unlock Mass Adoption
-

World still faces its biggest bottleneck: getting people verified.
The original Orb scanning process required visiting physical locations — not exactly appealing.
Now, World is pushing Orb Minis, handheld devices allowing users to complete iris scans from home.
CEO Alex Blania says the long-term plan is to turn these into mobile point-of-sale devices or integrate the ID tech into consumer hardware.
If successful, this could dramatically lower the friction of verification and bring the project closer to its massive goal of scanning 1 billion people. -
If Orb Minis deliver smoother onboarding, mass adoption could accelerate much faster than expected.

Simplifying hardware is often the key step in scaling any tech ecosystem—Orb Minis might be that breakthrough.
