BlockBeats News, February 27 — According to The Wall Street Journal, OpenAI founder Sam Altman’s Tools for Humanity (TFH) is collaborating with Gap, Visa, and Tinder to promote the World ID human verification product (a technology that distinguishes humans from robots).
At a Gap store in San Francisco, visitors can now obtain a World ID. The process involves installing their signature volleyball-sized “Orb” device to capture facial and eye images. Meanwhile, a planned Visa payment card will allow World ID holders to spend digital assets, including Worldcoin — a cryptocurrency rewarded to users upon registration in most markets. Additionally, the dating app Tinder is testing this identity system in Japan to verify that users are real and that their age matches their claims.
The company states that its Orb device converts personal facial and iris images into a series of anonymous numbers, which are stored on the user’s own device. Tools for Humanity itself does not retain this data. TFH Chief Business Officer Trevor Traina said the company aims to generate revenue by charging applications — whenever an app uses a user’s World ID to verify they are real, the company will charge a fee.

The new generation of the payment industry: trillion-dollar unicorn Stripe may acquire PayPal, heavily investing in stablecoins and AI
Written by: Nancy, PANews
PayPal, the pioneer of payments, may be acquired, and the rumored buyer is the yet-to-be-listed new payment giant Stripe.
Two representative companies from the internet era, with two completely different payment strategies, have now taken divergent paths: one has achieved a $159 billion high valuation halo, while the other, after its moment in the spotlight, is entering a long revaluation cycle.
To date, this emerging star has not yet rung the bell on the Nasdaq, choosing to retain strategic freedom before going public, and is accelerating investments in stablecoins and AI, pouring heavy funds into new financial tracks.
