TFH and Modulus Labs first collaborated in early 2023, driven by shared goals to improve the security and scalability of the World Network, formerly the security and scalability of Worldcoin.

Since then, the partnership has enabled Modulus Labs to expand its work in zero-knowledge proofer solutions. Using custom machine learning technology, Modulus turns millions of mobile devices into environments that prioritize privacy and anonymity.

TFH and Modulus Labs have used these capabilities to deploy ZK data commitment schemes for World’s Orbs, enabling private custody and authentication of the network’s iris scanning devices. With Modulus now part of TFH’s Applied Research team, the partnership aims to further integrate cryptography and AI to expand what is possible for the global network.

Founded in 2022, Modulus Labs has established itself as a major player in AI, contributing to advancements such as a new verification standard for AI security, verifiable AI games, and digital art.
