World Teams Up with Coinbase to Prove There Is a Real Person Behind Every AI Transaction

As AI agents increasingly transact, shop, and act autonomously online, a key issue comes into focus: how to verify that a real person is behind the activity.

World has launched AgentKit, a developer toolkit that allows AI agents to carry cryptographic proof that they are backed by a unique human using World ID.

The product works with x402, a protocol developed by Coinbase and Cloudflare that enables agentic payments by embedding stablecoin micropayments into the internet's communication layer.

Payments are the how of agentic commerce, but identity is the who. AgentKit addresses this by linking multiple agents to a single verified human.

For HumanityOne, this development is highly significant. The convergence of verified human identity and AI-powered commerce sits at the core of our thesis.
