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

The 'Razer ID verified by World ID' system uses biometric and blockchain technology to ensure human-only gaming, starting with the blockchain game 'Tokyo Beast'.

Razer and World Network have partnered to introduce 'Razer ID verified by World ID,' a blockchain-based identity verification system designed to eliminate AI bots from online gaming.
The system leverages World Network's proof-of-humanity technology, which uses iris scans or NFC-enabled government IDs to verify users' identity.
Its first implementation will be in the blockchain game 'Tokyo Beast,' requiring players to authenticate their humanity before accessing the game.
The initiative addresses widespread gamer frustration, with surveys indicating that 59% of players frequently encounter bots and 71% believe bots harm the competitive experience.
Future plans include integrating the verified ID system across Razer's product suite, including its payment services and rewards platform, to foster fair play and immersive gaming experiences.
