Worldcoin Boosts State Bridge Functionality for EVM Compatibility and World ID Integration

Worldcoin has  announced The recent update to the state bridge infrastructure not only improves gas efficiency but also enables easier connectivity with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compliant networks. This innovation aims to expand use cases for a sybil-resistant, proof-of-personhood approach.

To foster smoother interactions between different blockchains, Worldcoin has overhauled its state bridge design, allowing for more fluid data movement across contracts and other EVM-compatible networks. The World ID, structured as a Merkle tree on Ethereum, plays a crucial role in privacy-centered identity verification across diverse applications. World ID Initially, the state bridge framework was heavily reliant on the WorldId Identity Manager, which posed challenges like requiring permission and being less gas-efficient. With the new improved architecture, Worldcoin enables permissionless state bridge sharing and accommodates the establishment of individual state bridges for chains that Worldcoin does not directly support.

The revamped Worldcoin state bridge framework empowers users to integrate World ID effortlessly and without the need for permissions with any EVM-compatible chain.

Worldcoin's team is also developing a comprehensive suite of tools, including a 'state-bridge-service' and 'tree-availability-service', aimed at facilitating the bridging of roots and constructing inclusion proofs for various EVM-compatible chains. They plan to make these tools open-source in the near future.

According to the recent blog update, ensuring the safety and reliability of protocol advancements remains a top priority for the TFH contributor team. Audits conducted by Least Authority and Nethermind validate the integrity of the blockchain technologies, cryptography, and smart contracts linked to the state bridge structure.

Recently, the French data regulatory body, CNIL, conducted inspections at Worldcoin's location in Paris, increasing scrutiny on the organization. This action came in the wake of dwindling global interest and a drop in Worldcoin’s market prices. The CNIL began its investigation in July, primarily focusing on the legality of Worldcoin’s biometric data practices, such as capturing iris scans for digital IDs and offering free cryptocurrency. The Worldcoin Foundation, based in the Cayman Islands, welcomed this regulatory examination, although the specific details of the inspections remain undisclosed.
