January 29 – World (formerly Worldcoin) unveiled World ID v4.0 on Wednesday, integrating an account abstraction framework into its protocol system. The upgrade shifts World ID away from a single-key mechanism to an abstract record in the public registry “WorldIDRegistry,” supporting multiple authorization keys. This enables users to generate identity proofs across different devices or platforms. Key enhancements in the new version include: - Multi-key and multi-validator management to boost user flexibility while preserving the same identity - Improved protocol resilience via key rotation, revocation, and optional recovery agent tools - A web-based reference validator to streamline the browser-side experience - One-time null symbols generated by OPRF nodes to strengthen privacy protection - A trust anchor registry to help validators identify request sources, prevent phishing attacks, and lay groundwork for future protocol fee mechanisms
