• TFH is a 500+ person company founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania to work on the World Project.
• The World Project is designed to allow all humans to maximize the benefits of AI in an increasingly online world. It does this with an identity protocol (World ID) connected to a new type of credential (Proof of Human) built on a new camera (the orb) and a set of blockchain based services. The first client application (World App) provides a new developer opportunity (Miniapps) and provides users with access to traditional and Web3 financial networks.
• To succeed, the protocol needs to be global scale, decentralized, open, secure, privacy enhancing, economically sustainable, and well integrated with other standards and technologies. If it achieves 6 out of 7 of those it will fail, so we need to design to achieve all of them.
• I work across TFH with our teams of hardware and software engineers, architects, TPMs, PMs, lawyers, marketers and even economists to keep us on the path to have the World Protocol succeed.
