introducing Trusted Agent Delegation (TAD) @Cloudflare and @worldnetwork are collaborating on a new framework to enable secure agent delegation the ultimate goal is for TAD to empower people to use their personal agents on any site across the internet, without sites getting crushed by fraud/abuse from bad bots or bad actors today at Cloudflare Connect we presented our shared vision for an approach centered around restoring the relationship between sites and users when using hosted agents, which is currently obscured it will also support next generation attestations and verifications, starting with World ID's Proof of Human we will publish the white paper and establish a working group in the coming weeks to collaborate with the broader agent ecosystem

MAYBE I WAS WRONG ABOUT BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY I wrote about how I always used to make fun of the guys who said things like "Bitcoin is speculative, but the underlying blockchain technology is interesting." And now I think maybe they kinda had a point.

In 2024, an employee at engineering firm Arup transferred $25.6 million after joining a video call where every other participant was a deepfake. Since then, AI has advanced significantly and is making impersonation increasingly convincing, causing challenges for financial institutions in particular. As autonomous agents begin handling more financial activity on behalf of people, establishing an added layer of trust and security behind a transaction or sensitive conversation is becoming an urgent need. Introducing @world_id for banking and finance, a suite of technologies that helps institutions establish trust through privacy-preserving cryptographic Proofs. World ID for Zoom lets meeting participants confirm they are the same Orb-verified human connected to their account, while World ID for agents allows AI agents to carry Proofs delegated by people. Bain Capital, OpenExchange, Outtake, Pantera Capital, and VanEck Funds are initial design partners, bringing World ID into some of finance's most consequential interactions. fortune.com/2026/10/18/zoom-…

Catch you next week @money2020 @Cloudflare @Zoom

the internet used to feel different. a person behind every email. every text. every like. that feeling is mostly gone. i’ve started a residency at Tools for Humanity to explore what becomes possible when anyone can prove they’re human online, without revealing who they are.

Welcoming @MattHoerl & @anshchopra_ as they start the World One residency today! Recommend following them as they will be building in public around proof of human! Thank you to the many people who applied so far! We have 3 remaining spots, can find more info here: world.org/one

Trust is becoming the internet's scarcest resource and most valuable commodity. We hope to see you at @money2020 where World and @tfh_technology co-founder @alexblania will discuss human infrastructure for the age of AI.
