Overview
- Razer has partnered with Sam Altman's World Network to introduce 'Razer ID verified by World ID,' a system designed to eliminate AI bots from online gaming.
- The system leverages blockchain-based proof-of-humanity technology, including iris scans and NFC-enabled government IDs, to verify players' identities as human.
- The first implementation will debut in the blockchain-based game 'Tokyo Beast,' requiring players to log in with a World-authenticated Razer ID.
- An Echelon Insights survey revealed that 59% of gamers frequently encounter bots, and 71% believe bots harm the competitive nature of games.
- Razer plans to integrate the system into its broader ecosystem, aiming to foster human-only gaming environments and enhance fairness in online play.
