Razer and World Network Launch Blockchain-Based Tool to Combat AI Bots in Gaming

The new 'Razer ID verified by World ID' system uses proof-of-humanity technology to ensure fair play by verifying human gamers.

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.
