Sam Altman-Backed World Project has announced a collaboration with the American technology company Match Group, the company behind renowned dating apps such as Okcupid, Tinder and Hinge.
On 1 May, the Iris scanning blockchain project by Sam Altman will work together with the portfolio of Dating apps from Match Group to bring the world’s unique identification code to the online dating world. The collection of dating apps from the company include Tinder, Match.com, Meeting, Okcupid, Hinge, lots of fish and our time, among other things.
The cooperation would implement the permissionless identity protocol of World Chain (Wld), World ID, in Match Group Dating apps to check whether the profile owner is a real person or not. According to the announcement, the pilot project would start with Tinder users in Japan, giving them a quick and easy way to verify their authenticity without sacrificing their privacy.
“As AI continues, the ability to confirm that a real person behind each interaction is essential to retain trust and authenticity online. Technology helps us find each other. Real people make it meaningful,” wrote World Project in his official statement.
In a recent survey of 2024, around 62% of internet users claimed that they had already been catfersed in the United States. In the meantime, 53% of them were women and 18% were between 16 to 24 years old.

With progress in AI, it becomes increasingly difficult to determine which profiles are manned by real people in a sea of digital faces. By using the use of World ID, the project hopes that users of dating app will be able to find real connections with real people instead of profiles generated by AI.
World ID offers a system that calls it ‘proof of human’, with which its users can verify their identity via a biometric device called the ORB, which scans the iris of the user and generates a unique code.
In the past, the Sam Altman-Stunder project unique IRIS scan code under fire about privacy problems, in which the authorities in Hong Kong and Brazil accuse the protocol of violating privacy laws by ‘Iris and are confronted with images of the public’.
