Worldcoin Launches 'World Chain' to Enhance Human-Centric Transactions

Sam Altman's Worldcoin introduces a new layer-2 blockchain, prioritizing verified human users and combating bot activity.

Worldcoin, backed by AI pioneer Sam Altman, is set to launch its own blockchain, 'World Chain', using Optimism's OP Stack.
'World Chain' aims to prioritize human users by charging higher gas fees to bots, thereby subsidizing costs for human transactions.
The new blockchain seeks to address congestion and high transaction fees on existing networks by prioritizing real human interactions.
Worldcoin's development reflects a broader trend of integrating biometric verification to ensure user authenticity in digital transactions.
Despite its innovative approach, Worldcoin faces regulatory challenges and skepticism concerning its data collection practices.
