Worldcoin is a cryptocurrency project that aims to distribute crypto globally through an iris scanning device called the Orb. The goal is to onboard 1 billion people by 2024
The Orb is a spherical device that scans a person's iris to generate a unique cryptographic identifier. This allows someone to claim a share of Worldcoin crypto without needing a smartphone or internet access.
Worldcoin states the Orb uses iris scans just to generate a mathematical hash and no image is stored. They claim privacy is maintained, though some privacy advocates have expressed concerns.
You can get a share of Worldcoins by having your iris scanned by an Orb device operated by a Worldcoin sign-up agent. This records you in the network allowing you to claim coins.
If successful, Worldcoin could be one of the largest crypto distributions globally, spreading digital asset access including to underbanked populations. But major challenges around adoption and execution remain.
