Worldcoin Launches Eye-Scanning Crypto Project Across the US
Worldcoin ($WLD) is now accessible in most parts of the US. The project, backed by OpenAI's founder, offers users $WLD tokens in exchange for eye scans through its 'World Orb' device.
The main features include:
- $WLD serves as a blockchain-based global ID to verify online identities.
- Participants receive 16 $WLD for scanning their eyes and 150 $WLD as a pioneer grant for app registration.
- The initiative aims to install over 7,500 scanning orbs across the US by year-end, having already verified 12 million individuals globally.
- A redesigned orb resembles a smartphone rather than a ball.
- Discussions with VISA are underway for a debit card linked to $WLD, allowing users to make payments with automatic fiat conversions and earn rewards for AI service subscriptions.
- The World Wallet app will facilitate sending and receiving $WLD and other cryptocurrencies, integrating ID services from Stripe, Match Group, and Razor.
This initiative demonstrates the application of Web3 technology in real-world scenarios amid increasing cryptocurrency adoption.
