What is the World ID Orb?

The only way to prove
you're human online.

The Orb is a device built by Tools for Humanity, co-founded by Sam Altman of OpenAI. It verifies you are a real, unique human and creates a World ID — a permanent, anonymous proof of your humanity stored privately in the World App forever. Verification takes under a minute and your data is deleted immediately after. Platforms like Tinder, Zoom, DocuSign, Visa, Stripe, Shopify, Reddit, Razer, Minecraft, and Everytable have integrated World ID as a trust layer — building mainstream awareness and motivating more people to seek an Orb every day.

01

One verification. Permanent proof.

The verification takes under a minute and only happens once. The resulting World ID lives privately in the World App and never expires — usable on any platform that integrates it, without ever repeating the process.

02

The old way of proving you're human is broken

CAPTCHAs and security puzzles are already defeated by AI bots. Tinder, Zoom, DocuSign, Visa, Stripe, Shopify, Reddit, Razer, Minecraft, and Everytable are among the platforms integrating World ID because they need a proof of human that actually works — one that AI can't fake. That's what the Orb provides.

03

Actively managed, not self-serve

Orbs are already appearing across SoCal at chain restaurants and retail locations. CELLIOT actively works every location we partner with — explaining World ID, guiding customers through verification, and walking them through how to claim your deal. Then we connect your location to a curated cross-traffic network.

How it works

Simple for you.
Powerful for your business.

1

We agree on your deal

We pick a menu item or discount together — a free drink, a snack, a meal discount. You decide what makes sense for your margins. We handle all paperwork with World.

2

Your deal goes live in the World App

World creates your deal in the app and gives you a QR code to display in-store. Verified users in your area can see it and walk in to claim it.

3

Customers verify and claim

Users scan your QR with World App. One claim per verified human — no fraud, no abuse. You receive instant confirmation. The transaction is complete in seconds.

4

You get reimbursed

World reimburses the cost of the deal item. Your food cost is covered. New customers discover your business every day — people who verified to use Tinder, Zoom, DocuSign, and more, now walking through your door.

What you get

Everything included.
Nothing to pay.

Free Orb installation

We provide the Orb, handle installation, supply on-site signage, and train your staff if needed. No equipment cost, no monthly fee, no subscription.

Featured in the World App

Your deal appears to verified users in the World App — people who have already verified through platforms like Tinder, Zoom, Shopify, and more, and are now looking for local businesses to visit.

100% claim rate at your door

Every person who verifies at your Orb claims your deal — guaranteed. They walked in specifically for it. This is intent-driven foot traffic, not random walk-bys.

Cross-traffic from partner stores

Each verified user carries 5 deals. The other 4 bring them to neighboring partner locations — and their users come to you. Every store drives customers to every other store.

$

Deal cost reimbursed

World reimburses the cost of your deal item up to an agreed amount. You are not absorbing the giveaway cost — the program covers it.

Zero risk, zero lock-in

No upfront cost. No long-term contract. No tech integration. If it isn't generating value for your business, you can step away. We want partners who are winning.

How we work your location

Active engagement,
not just a kiosk.

Most Orb locations are self-serve — a device in the corner with no one explaining it. CELLIOT actively works every location we partner with. The staffing model depends on your setup, but the goal is always the same: maximum verifications, maximum value for your business.

High foot-traffic locations

We send our team. They engage, you benefit.

If your location has strong outside pedestrian flow — a downtown street, a boardwalk, a busy strip — our trained staff works the exterior, actively engaging passersby, explaining World ID, and walking them inside to verify and claim your deal. This is outreach, not a kiosk.

  • Best for street-front, outdoor, or high-visibility spots
  • Our team handles all outreach and Orb operation
  • You simply honor the deal when customers walk in
  • No extra work required from your staff
Indoor & destination locations

Your staff runs it. We train them and pay per verification.

If your location is an indoor shop or destination business where customers come to you, your own staff operates the Orb during their regular shift. We provide full training — how to explain World ID, how to walk customers through the process, how to show them how to claim the deal — so your team becomes the active driver of verifications.

  • Best for restaurants, cafes, and shops in malls or plazas
  • Your staff operates the Orb during their regular shift
  • Earn a per-verification commission on every scan
  • Network traffic brings new customers to you organically
The deal item

You pick what works
for your business.

The deal doesn't have to be complicated. World ID Rewards work best when the offer is simple, on-the-go, and broadly appealing — something a new customer would be excited to try for the first time.

A boba shop might offer a free drink. A dessert spot might offer a free scoop. A restaurant might offer a discount off a set meal. A salon might offer a free first service. There's no single right answer — it depends on your menu, your margins, and what makes sense for your customer.

One business per category. Verified users want a variety of deals to claim — not five boba shops or three salons. CELLIOT keeps the network curated so each category has one go-to partner in the area. The first business in your category to join is the only business in your category for the entire network — and every verified user looking for that type of deal is sent to you.

The cost of the deal item is reimbursed by World up to an agreed amount. We handle that relationship directly. You never pay out of pocket to participate in the program.

Free drink or boba Cafes & tea shops
Free dessert or scoop Ice cream & dessert
Free snack or side Fast casual & bakeries
Discount on a set meal Restaurants & dining
Free first service Salons, spas & services
Each deal is limited to one claim per verified human — World's system ensures no one can redeem your offer twice, protecting you from fraud and keeping the value real.
Why the CELLIOT network is different

Curated locations.
Active engagement.

Orbs are already appearing across Southern California — Everytable restaurants, malls, retail shops. CELLIOT takes a different approach — we hand-select locations based on proximity, business type, and network potential. We actively drive verifications at every spot we operate and connect each partner into a cross-traffic deal network so verified customers from one location are naturally directed to the next.

Not included above: additional traffic from people actively seeking an Orb through Tinder, Zoom, DocuSign, Visa, Stripe, Shopify, Reddit, Razer, Minecraft, and Everytable — platforms that have integrated World ID as a trust layer. That demand is growing and arrives on top of the deal network traffic.

What you get that a chain restaurant doesn't

When you join the CELLIOT network, you get an operator actively engaging customers, a curated group of nearby partner businesses sending verified customers your way, and World ID Rewards deals that reimburse your giveaway costs. The Orb is the hardware. The network is the product — and that's what CELLIOT builds.

We'd like to add your shop to the network.

We're selectively building a network of host partners in your area. Fill out the short form and we'll reach out within 1–2 business days to talk through whether your location is a fit.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

World ID is a permanent, anonymous proof that you are a unique real human — not a bot or AI. It's created by the Orb, a device built by Tools for Humanity, co-founded by Sam Altman of OpenAI. The Orb verifies you are a real, unique human — the process takes under a minute and all data is deleted immediately after. Your World ID lives privately in the World App and never expires. Platforms including Tinder, Zoom, DocuSign, Visa, Stripe, Shopify, Reddit, Razer, Minecraft, and Everytable have integrated World ID as a trust layer. Tinder offers a verified human badge. Zoom uses it to flag deepfakes in video calls. DocuSign applies it to high-stakes contract signing. Shopify, Reddit, Razer, Minecraft, and Everytable are among the others incorporating it. It's becoming a recognized signal of digital legitimacy.

No images are stored on the Orb. It processes iris and face data locally to confirm a person is a unique human, then the data is encrypted, sent only to that user's phone, and permanently deleted from the Orb. World doesn't purchase, store, or sell biometric data. No name, email, or personal information is ever collected. Full privacy details are published at world.org/privacy.

No. There is no setup fee, monthly fee, or cost to participate. CELLIOT provides the Orb, handles installation, and supplies any signage needed. The cost of your deal item is reimbursed by World up to an agreed amount — you are not absorbing it.

It depends on your location. If you're in a high foot-traffic area with strong outside pedestrian flow, CELLIOT sends our own trained staff to operate the Orb and actively bring people in. If you're in an indoor or destination-type location where customers already come to you, your own staff can operate the Orb during their regular shift — and we pay a per-verification commission for every scan they complete. We work this out together based on what makes the most sense for your spot.

A footprint of roughly 3 by 3 feet, indoors or under cover, with a standard outlet nearby. The Orb sits on a countertop kiosk stand and looks clean and minimal — designed to fit naturally into a retail environment. We do a quick site visit before installation to find the best spot in your space.

After verifying at an Orb, users open the World App and scan a QR code displayed in your store to claim their deal. The system confirms they're a verified human and marks the deal as redeemed. One claim per verified person — it's fraud-proof by design. You receive confirmation instantly and honor the deal item.

Each verified user gets 5 deals — one per participating location. The World App keeps a claim history showing exactly where and when each deal was redeemed, making it easy to see whether a deal has already been used. CELLIOT trains every host partner's staff on how to check the claim history before honoring a deal, so your team always knows it's a first-time redemption before giving anything away.

The best deals are simple, on-the-go, and broadly appealing — something that gets a new customer in the door and lets them experience your business. A free boba, a free scoop, a side item, a snack, or a discount off a meal all work well. For higher-ticket businesses like full-service restaurants, a discount off a set meal makes more sense than a free item. We figure this out together based on your menu and margins — and the cost is covered by the program up to an agreed amount.

CELLIOT keeps the network curated — one business per category in each area. Verified users want variety, not five of the same kind of shop. If a boba spot has already joined nearby, we won't add another boba spot — we'll look for a complementary business instead. That's why early partners win biggest: the first business in your category locks in that slot, and every verified user looking for that type of deal is sent to you. Reach out early to claim your category before a competitor does.

CELLIOT hand-selects every location based on network potential — proximity to complementary businesses, foot traffic, and how well it fits the cross-traffic network we're building. We actively work each spot to drive verifications, explain World ID to customers, and walk them through claiming their deal. And we connect every host partner so verified customers from one location are naturally directed to the next. You're part of a curated, actively managed program built to generate real business for your shop.

No long-term contract. We want host partners who are genuinely benefiting from the program. If it's not driving real value for your business, you can step away. That said, early partners win biggest — once a business in your category joins, that slot is locked, and you'd be looking at the next available category instead. The traffic also compounds as the network grows, so the partners who lock in their spot early benefit the most over time.
