Tools for Humanity

Tools for Humanity is a contributor to the human identity network and crypto project World. TFH took the initial steps toward developing the Worldcoin protocol and supported its multi-year beta testing phase. It then transitioned stewardship of the protocol to the independent Worldcoin Foundation prior to the protocol’s launch in late July 2023. Today, TFH continues to provide services to the Worldcoin Foundation and operates World App, the first Worldcoin-compatible wallet.
