The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has initiated a cryptocurrency project called Worldcoin, which has introduced its own token called WLD

Worldcoin, which is a digital asset venture. The main feature of this project is called "World ID," which necessitates users to undergo an in-person iris scan using a device called the "Orb."

It has encountered significant challenges and delays during its development. One of the primary concerns raised by critics is related to potential privacy risks, as the World ID system involves using a biometric verification device. Despite these issues, the project's team remains optimistic, believing that it could have a substantial positive impact on the global economy and could provide a reliable means of distinguishing humans from AI online while ensuring user privacy, provided it becomes successful.
