Tinder is offering five free boosts to users who verify their identity using World's facial scanning orb technology, co-founded by Sam Altman. The service requires physical presence at an orb location to scan faces and eyes for verification. This expansion follows a successful pilot in Japan and is now rolling out to select markets including the US.
Background
