World ID 2.0 is reportedly expanding the capabilities of the existing features by making it easier to separate humans and bots online.

World ID aims to provide a decentralized digital identity layer that enables anonymous actions for the benefit of every unique human online. With the humanness digital passport, individuals can verify to an app or service that they are human without disclosing their identity, and brands can ensure that their offerings and services are being used as intended. World ID 2.0 also offers new verification levels to provide developers choice when implementing humanness verification requirements into their apps or services.
