The rise in non-human activity and content across multiple domains, such as IT, content creation, and Fin-tech, is fueling the need for Proof of Human verification systems, like Worldcoin ($WLD). Vercel’s integration of World Network’s World ID into its agentic infrastructure, and one of the largest privately held $WLD stakes by Eightco Holdings (ORBS), reflects growing adoption of Proof of Human systems.
However, the falling $WLD price in the spot market positions the identity token as overlooked and underrated, waiting for its next bull cycle.
Worldcoin awaits the Proof of Human narrative to catch up with rising AI demand
The “double human” problem is increasing in the real world, driven by AI agents and deepfakes. Non-human activity is rising across fields such as content creation, trading, and software development, driven by easier task generation and automation.
Fundstrat data shows that “non-humans” accounts generate 75% of trading volume on PolyMarket, 53% of web traffic, 47% of emails sent, 44% of US equity buy-side execution, 35% of new website creation, and 30% of online product reviews.
Eightco treasury is worth roughly $333 million as of May 6, with 283 million $WLD tokens, representing 8.53% of the circulating supply and valued at around $80 million. This reflects the Eightco Holdings’ confidence in its Proof of Human narrative for digital identity verification.
Eightco Holdings’ treasury also includes Ethereum’s 11,068 ETH tokens for its programmable blockchain features, $90 million in OpenAI equity, and $25 million in equity in YouTuber Mr. Beast’s Beast Industries, expanding exposure to AI and the creator economy.
On the other hand, Vercel, a cloud application company known for pushing AI agent-driven software online, announced the integration of World ID verification. The goal is to bring human developers into the loop to decide what access to give agents.
In a podcast with Pantera Capital, Vercel’s CPO, Tom Occhino, highlights that a human-only software by default with verified digital identity could provide “humans a way to be first-class citizens of the internet again.”
In addition to Vercel, companies such as Zoom, Tinder, Coinbase, Razer, and many others are implementing proof of human standards using the World network.
World Network’s World app has over 40 million users, including 18 million verified humans across 160 countries, making it one of the largest networks with a verified user base.
Worldcoin’s $WLD token edges higher by 15% so far this month, after seven consecutive months of losses totaling a roughly 80% decline. Despite the mild recovery, the identity token remains significantly undervalued, awaiting the Proof of Human narrative to boost demand.
