World ID became available to robots and machines running peaqOS through robotic.sh. A machine can request and verify a World ID zero-knowledge proof, confirming that it is interacting with a real, unique human and, in applicable interactions, that the person completing an action is the same person who initiated it, without receiving a name, face or other identifying information. peaqOS supplies the coordination layer, using peaq decentralised identifiers for machine identity and the Machine Market for service discovery, and can produce an auditable record that a check occurred with the proof metadata redacted. Machines running peaqOS can perform the verification natively, without an API key or a per-verification charge.
