Tools for Humanity Announces Strategic Partnership with Modulus Labs
Tools for Humanity, a key contributor to the human identity network and crypto project World, has recently revealed a strategic partnership with artificial intelligence startup Modulus Labs.
Enhancing World with Modulus Labs
Modulus Labs is set to join forces with Tools for Humanity to strengthen World (WLD), as announced by the TFH team in a blog post on Dec. 12.
Through this collaboration, Modulus Labs co-founders Daniel Shorr and Ryan Cao, along with their team members, will be joining the TFH team. Together, they will establish a new Applied Research team focused on developing practical, scalable, and secure cryptography and machine learning solutions to enhance World.
Driving Innovation and Security
The partnership between TFH and Modulus Labs initially began in early 2023 with a shared goal of enhancing the security and scalability of the World Network. Since then, Modulus Labs has been working on zero-knowledge prover solutions using customized machine learning technology to prioritize privacy and anonymity on millions of mobile devices.
By deploying ZK data commitment schemes to World’s Orbs, Modulus Labs and TFH have enabled private custody and verification for the network’s iris-scanning devices. With Modulus Labs now part of TFH’s Applied Research team, the partnership aims to further integrate cryptography and AI to push the boundaries of what the World network can achieve.
About Modulus Labs
Founded in 2022, Modulus Labs has established itself as a leading player in AI, contributing advancements such as a new verification standard for AI security, verifiable AI games, and digital art.
World’s Continued Growth
Since its launch in 2023, World has experienced significant traction despite regulatory challenges. The project has unveiled over 1,000 Orbs and witnessed more than 8 million people verify their human identity. The World App, a self-custody wallet for the World Network, has attracted over 19.3 million users across 160 countries.
