CryptoWorld News: World has entered the third phase of “the simple plan,” and its growth model has shifted toward practical-driven development. World will focus on deploying World ID in enterprise, individual, and AI agent scenarios, and will concentrate resources in high-density cities such as San Francisco and New York in the United States, as well as the UK, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. The next-generation Orb will move to a self-service model, targeting 95% self-service operation by the end of 2026. World ID 4.0 introduces a fee mechanism: credential issuers and protocols may charge fees to users, while end users can use the protocol for free.

The AI agent scenario is interesting; in the future, robots verifying each other's identities might become more frequent than humans.

The idea of self-service Orb is pretty cool. In the future, could it be as simple as scanning a code to complete verification, just like buying a drink at a convenience store?

A high-density city strategy is right—go first and fully understand areas with high Web3 penetration; it’s better than sprinkling ground pepper everywhere.

By the end of 2026, 95% of operations will be self-managed.
This KPI is set quite aggressively.
How much can operational costs be reduced by then?

World ID 4.0 has started charging—though end users remain free. Everyone’s got it figured out: the cost is coming from someone else.
