Worldcoin (WLD) is an innovative cryptocurrency project created by OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman to build a global digital identity network. The platform's main goal is to verify human authenticity in the era of artificial intelligence development without disclosing personal information. User uniqueness verification occurs through iris scanning using specialized Orb devices.

Participants receive a digital World ID passport and native WLD tokens for passing biometric authorization. The protocol is deployed on Ethereum Layer 2 solutions, ensuring fast and secure transactions within the development of a decentralized Web3 financial infrastructure.

FAQ

  • Worldcoin is an innovative Web3 platform created to build the world's largest digital identity and finance network. The project's main goal is to safely distinguish real people from bots and artificial intelligence online while maintaining complete user privacy.

  • Orb is a special biometric device in the shape of a sphere, developed by the project team. It scans the iris of a person's eye to confirm their uniqueness. The scan takes several seconds, after which the system converts the image into a unique digital code, and the original eye image is permanently deleted.

  • World ID is a personal digital passport ("digital identity document") that a user receives on their smartphone after successful scanning through an Orb. It operates based on Zero-Knowledge Proofs, allowing a person to authenticate on websites and applications by proving they are a real human without disclosing their name, email, or biometric data.

  • The WLD token was originally created as a multi-chain ERC-20 standard asset. The majority of ecosystem transactions and the World App mobile application operate on the high-performance Layer 2 network Optimism, deployed on top of the base Ethereum blockchain to reduce network fees.

  • Developers claim that the Worldcoin system is fully confidential. The local Orb device does not store or transmit eye photographs—it generates only an encrypted mathematical hash. The uniqueness digital code is not linked to the user's real name, passport, or phone number, which prevents tracking or identity theft.
