Odaily News: On August 21, 2026, PeaqOS integrated World ID, allowing robots and machines operating on PeaqOS to natively request and verify World ID proofs via robotic.sh, confirming that the interacting party is a real and unique human—without collecting names, facial information, or other personal data.The system employs zero-knowledge proofs, meaning machines receive cryptographic proof that the user is a real human, rather than identity information. As a coordination layer, PeaqOS connects to World ID through decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and machine markets, recording auditable interaction logs.This solution can be applied in scenarios such as autonomous delivery, shared machines, and pharmaceutical delivery. Users can verify multiple times in the World App and during the delivery process, allowing robots to confirm that the recipient is the same person associated with the order. PeaqOS also plans to extend zero-knowledge verification to more DePIN projects. (Bitcoin.com News)
