Tools for Humanity, a contributor to the human identity network and crypto project World, has announced a strategic partnership with artificial intelligence startup Modulus Labs.
Modulus Labs is joining Tools for Humanity to bolster World (WLD), the TFH team revealed in a blog post on Dec. 12.
As part of the partnership, Modulus Labs co-founders Daniel Shorr and Ryan Cao, along with team members Giorgos Zirdelis, Ende Shen, Ben Wilson, Makis Arsenis, and Vishruti Ganesh, will join the TFH team. This collaboration is set to enhance World by expanding Tools for Humanity’s capabilities. Together, they will establish a new Applied Research team focused on practical, scalable, and secure cryptography and machine learning solutions.
TFH and Modulus Labs first collaborated in early 2023, driven by shared goals to improve the security and scalability of the World Network, formerly Worldcoin’s security and scalability.
Since then, the partnership has enabled Modulus Labs to expand its work on zero-knowledge prover solutions. Using customized machine learning technology, Modulus is turning millions of mobile devices into environments that prioritize privacy and anonymity.
TFH and Modulus Labs have utilized these capabilities to deploy ZK data commitment schemes to World’s Orbs, enabling private custody and verification for the network’s iris-scanning devices. With Modulus now part of TFH’s Applied Research team, the partnership aims to further integrate cryptography and AI to expand what’s possible for the World network.
Founded in 2022, Modulus Labs has established itself as a key player in AI, contributing advancements like a new verification standard for AI security, verifiable AI games, and digital art.
World has continued to see significant traction since its debut in 2023. Despite regulatory and legal hurdles, the project has unveiled over 1,000 Orbs and seen more than 8 million people verify their human identity. Details on its website indicate World App, a self-custody wallet for the World Network, has attracted more than 19.3 million users in over 160 countries.
