Governance: Currently, collective decision making in web3 largely relies on token-based governance (one token, one vote), which excludes some people from participating and heavily favors those with more economic power. A reliable sybil-resistant proof of personhood like World ID opens up the design space for global democratic governance mechanisms not just in web3 but for the internet. Additionally, for AI to maximally benefit all humans, rather than just a select group, it will become increasingly important to include everyone in its governance.

Identity Keep the Bots Out: Bots on Twitter, spam messages, and robocalls are all symptoms of the lack of sound and frictionless digital identity. These issues are exacerbated by rapidly advancing AI models, which can solve CAPTCHAs and produce content that is convincingly "human". As services ramp up defenses against such content, it becomes essential that an inclusive and privacy-preserving solution for proof of personhood is available as public infrastructure. If every message or transaction included a "verified human" property, a lot of noise could be filtered from the digital world.

Owning & Transferring Digital Money: Sending money will be near instant and borderless, globally. Available to everyone. The world could be connected financially and everyone would be able to interact economically on the internet. The COVID relief fund for India, where over $400 million were raised in a short period of time by individuals around the world to support the country as a hint at what can be possible. Overall, this has the potential to connect people on a global scale unlike anything previously seen in human history.

Today, proof of personhood is an unsolved problem on a global scale, making it difficult to vote online or distribute value on a large scale.The problem is even more pressing as increasingly powerful AI models will further amplify the difficulty of distinguishing humans from bots. If successful as part of Worldcoin, World ID could become a global proof of personhood standard.

Worldcoin was founded with the mission of creating a globally-inclusive identity and financial network, owned by the majority of humanity. If successful, Worldcoin could considerably increase economic opportunity, scale a reliable solution for distinguishing humans from AI online while preserving privacy, enable global democratic processes, and show a potential path to AI-funded UBI.

payments routed on the Lightning Network are transmitted between pairs of nodes and are not visible to everyone, resulting in much greater privacy
Source: github.com
Users may pay each other on the Lightning Network as many times as they want, without creating additional Bitcoin transactions or incurring on-chain fees. They only make use of the Bitcoin blockchain to load bitcoin onto the Lightning Network initially and to settle, that is, to remove bitcoin from the Lightning Network.
Source: github.com
Before we get into how the Lightning Network works, it’s important to understand one basic concept that underlies Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, and many other such systems: something we call a fairness protocol. A fairness protocol is a way to achieve fair outcomes between participants, who do not need to trust each other, without the need for a central authority, and it is the backbone of decentralized systems like Bitcoin.

Trustless does not mean devoid of trust. It means that trust is not a necessary prerequisite to all transactions and that you can transact even with people you don’t trust because the system prevents cheating.
Source: github.com
The concept of the Lightning Network was proposed in 2015, and the first implementation was launched in 2018.

The Lightning Network (LN) is a second layer peer-to-peer network that allows us to make Bitcoin payments "off-chain," meaning without committing them as transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain.
The Lightning Network gives us Bitcoin payments that are secure, cheap, fast, and much more private, even for very small payments.

The real power of AI will be in its integration of other tools to use in specific situation and recognizing what those tools are.
