In an internet shaped by AI, proof of human becomes essential infrastructure. @jessewldn, founder of @variantfund, shares his perspective on the future of the internet, World ID, and why it's important to build products designed for a digital world where humans and AI coexist.

Technology alone doesn’t create an ecosystem. It takes founders willing to experiment, build, and ship real products. That’s why World Build is here: to connect builders with the right people and opportunities to scale. Hear from @worldcoinfnd Grants Lead Maria Gomez on why we exist ⬇️

We're inspired by the builders we met at @ethconf and @ETHGlobal last week. The projects coming out of this community continue to raise the bar. Thanks for the conversations about proof of human, and for showing us what you’re building.

finally received my Orb! scanning your eyeball to prove you’re human onchain. the identity layer for every human on earth is being built in real time. thanks @worldnetwork @sama @alexblania

👀 @30SECONDSTOMARS is partnering with @worldnetwork to launch “Humans Only Tickets” powered by World ID verification. The goal: stop ticket bots from flooding sales and give real fans priority access to concerts.

The Open Intents Framework is designed as shared infrastructure for intents. A modular, open framework that the ecosystem can build intents on, together. Today, it takes its next step: adoption at scale.

The internet's trust layer is breaking. AI agents now act as humans online, and generative models can fake almost any document or face. The verification systems behind people, credentials, and applications were built for a pre-AI era. This month, we highlight three portfolio companies at different layers of the stack: - @Alchemy - @TransCrypts - @worldnetwork

Great @Quicknode event in Miami last week! We discussed: - how today’s e-commerce platforms will need to change their integrity and trust frameworks as AI agents drive most transactions tomorrow - how agents can gain priority access by proving they’re acting on behalf of a verified human who has delegated authority to them to perform those actions - how Proof of Human is necessary to prove there’s a human in the loop for accountability and liability - why the internet requires a human trust layer for agentic commerce and payments. Exciting to feel the momentum!

With Proof of Human, instead of trying to block bots, software becomes human-only by default. Then you decide what access to give agents. @tomocchino (CPO, @vercel ) joins Stateful, hosted by @masonnystrom In this episode, they discuss how Vercel is building the infrastructure layer for human-verified agents with @worldnetwork. - Vercel is now agentic infrastructure: deploy with agents, build agents, and a self-improving platform that fixes its own errors - Workflows does for backends what React did for front ends, composable and reusable in one line of code - CAPTCHAs are archaic. Human-only software by default is the new model. - World ID integration via Workflow SDK: one NPM package, one line of code - Humans as first-class citizens of the internet again 00:00 Vercel's Agentic Infrastructure 01:45 From Front-End Cloud to v0 03:15 Workflow SDK with React 05:30 World ID in One Line of Code 07:00 Beyond CAPTCHAs: Humans First

Seoul, we have landed 🛬 Build Week just started: 7 days and 17 builders shipping with @world_chain_ and @tfh_technology for millions of users. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

What a day. Agentic Summit Miami brought together the builders actually shipping at the intersection of AI and crypto infra. Thank you @Optimism, @world_chain_, @XLayerOfficial, @0G_labs, and everyone who came out to make it special! Recap 👇
