Sam Altman’s Worldcoin Eyeball-Scanning Crypto Project Launches

Published by admin on

Worldcoin, Sam Altman’s audacious eyeball-scanning crypto startup, has started the global rollout of its services to help build a reliable solution for “distinguishing humans from AI online,” enable “global democratic processes” and “drastically increase economic opportunity.” The startup, which has raised about $250 million altogether and counts Andreessen Horowitz, Khosla Ventures and Reid Hoffman among its backers, said it’s rolling out its identity technology as well as the token internationally. Individuals can download World App, the startup’s protocol-compatible wallet software, and visit an Orb, the startup’s helmet-shaped eyeball-scanning verification device, to receive their World ID.
