During this time, there was a project called Worldcoin.
The project vision is great, to build the world's largest identity and financial network public utility, allowing everyone to have ownership;
Create a global economic model that is independent of country or context and benefits everyone on the planet.
In layman's terms, it means issuing tokens (money) to every authenticated and real person on earth.
Worldcoin consists of 3 parts, digital identity World ID, token Worldcoin and application World App.
Users around the world can register and obtain a digital identity World ID to prove that they are a real and unique individual;
Worldcoin (WLD) plans to issue 10 billion, which will be distributed for free globally to users holding digital identities for utility and future governance;
Worldcoin APP is an application that allows payments, purchases and transfers worldwide using Worldcoin, digital assets and traditional currencies.
Worldcoin has raised US$125 million from well-known institutions such as a16z, coinbase, and multicoin. It was founded in 2019 by Altman, CEO of OpenAI and founder of ChatGPT.
Currently, worldcoin has 1.72 million registered users worldwide, and the number continues to grow.
How to register for Worldcoin ID?
Download the worldcoin app through the Apple or Google store and perform registration verification.
The account needs to pass Orb iris authentication, which is eyeball scanning authentication, to prove that you are a real individual. One iris corresponds to a real account. After authentication, you will get a World ID.
Users with World ID can currently receive one WLD per week.
Currently, there is no authentication channel for domestic players because there are no Orb operators around and iris authentication cannot be performed.
But iris authentication also collects personal biometric information for authentication. I wonder if there are any risks in the future?
Or users from other countries with operators can help authenticate, but each iris corresponds to an ID. There may be account risks in the future, and the authenticated person may be able to retrieve the account privately.
Or wait until Worldcoin opens the authentication method on a larger scale in the future to obtain a World ID.
If you are unable to register, you can also collect a worldcoin-related NFT first. Officials say that NFT has no airdrop and is only of commemorative significance.
What are the benefits of Worldcoin?
According to the official roadmap, after Worldcoin accumulates 1 billion users, it will issue airdrops of Worldcoin (WLD), with a total amount of 10 billion.
Among them, 8 billion were airdropped to the community, and the remaining part was used to long-term support the Worldcoin protocol (including gifts to developers), tool contributors and investors (100 million US dollars of tokens were given to the first round of financing institutions), etc.;
In addition, the official stated that the tokens will not be sold to the public, and all TOKEN will be distributed to the community.
All World ID users can receive a certain amount of WLD for free at regular intervals.
So how to get more WLD?
Currently, after registration and certification, you can get 1WLD every week. Previously, you could get 25WLD once.
In addition, you can become a Worldcoin operator. After passing the assessment and interview training, you can obtain the official Orb ball (iris recognition), expand new users, provide users with iris authentication services, and obtain WLD rewards.
Or contribute to the ecology, carry out project development, obtain WLD donations, etc.
What are the future expectations for Worldcoin?
Worldcoin was founded by ChatGPT founder Altman and Alex Blania. Altman is a crazy person like Musk.
OpenAI gained 100 million users within two months of its launch, setting off a wave of artificial intelligence. Chatgpt has replaced many traditional jobs, and more and more industries are accessing artificial intelligence services.
AI is changing humans, improving social productivity, and creating more social wealth.
Worldcoin believes that everyone has equal intrinsic value and can enjoy the benefits brought by the global economy; however, various social forms and regional differences currently prevent many people from enjoying the benefits of technology changing the world, and there is no benefit.
Worldcoin will airdrop WLD for free around the world to provide basic life security for every citizen of the world, and everyone can benefit from the rapidly developing global economy. This is how technology changes the future and changes humanity.
If Worldcoin can be achieved, the world will truly become a whole, and everyone will jointly participate in governance under a common economic system and ecology, and on a decentralized agreement, and provide support for human beings to achieve self-sufficiency.
If Worldcoin is not completed, it will undoubtedly be an attempt by the blockchain. But with continuous attempts at decentralization and global economic integration, maybe it can really succeed?
As this generation, we don’t know where the future will go. We don’t even know what the world will look like in three to five years. Let’s just go and see and participate.
The above is just my personal opinion, no investment advice. I am Chuxiaolian, and I am paying attention to the metaverse and web3.
