According to PANews, recent reports from Protos suggest that Worldcoin may have overstated the number of its controversial iris scans, with a potential discrepancy of 14 million data entries. Data disclosed by Worldcoin's official X account indicates that the number of World IDs has surpassed 26.1 million. However, the Worldcoin website states that the number of 'unique humans' is 12.35 million, highlighting a significant difference of approximately 14 million.
Analysts believe that Worldcoin may have confused the number of World IDs issued through iris scans with the number of users who have merely registered on the World App. As of now, Tools for Humanity, the parent company of Worldcoin, has not responded to inquiries regarding this data discrepancy.
