Overview

• World, backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has launched its iris-scanning orbs in Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco.
• Participants receive 16 WLD tokens for scanning their irises, with WLD now trading on major exchanges like Coinbase.
• The project aims to establish a decentralized digital identity system to distinguish humans from AI and support online verification.
• Tools for Humanity, the company behind World, plans to release a Visa debit card later this year to convert WLD to fiat currency.
• World has verified over 12 million users globally across 100+ countries, despite ongoing concerns over biometric data privacy.
