World Network Partners with Razer to Combat Gaming Bots
Sam Altman’s blockchain project, World Network, is collaborating with gaming hardware firm Razer to develop features aimed at eliminating bots from video games.
- The new system, “Razer ID verified by World ID,” will authenticate real gamers via a single sign-on mechanism.
- This integration builds on Razer's existing login service and ensures genuine users behind each Razer ID account.
- A study revealed that 59% of gamers frequently encounter unauthorized bots, which disrupt gameplay and offer unfair advantages.
- The collaboration aims to provide game developers with tools for creating competitive environments dominated by real players.
- The first implementation will be in the blockchain-based game “TOKYO BEAST,” set in a futuristic Tokyo.
- Players must log in using a World-authenticated Razer ID to ensure they are matched with other real players.
Razer’s chief corporate officer emphasized the importance of keeping gaming experiences fair and human-centric as AI continues to influence the industry.
