#WLD Shock! 33 million WLD are thrown at these people, Worldcoin has played big this time!
Folks, I have some big news for you today! Worldcoin (formerly known as World Coin) is making big moves again—33 million WLD are directly thrown at Orb Operators! This operation has blown up the crypto circle, with some cheering 'the opportunity for wealth has arrived' and others shouting 'run, it's a scythe'. What’s going on? Let me explain slowly!
I. Who are the Orb Operators?
In simple terms, Orb Operators are a group of tough individuals running around the world with a mysterious device called 'Orb'. This Orb is not an ordinary toy; it can scan your iris and generate a unique digital identity—World ID. As long as you get scanned, you can get WLD tokens for free! The task of Orb Operators is to set up stalls everywhere, help people verify their identities, and then just collect money.
Currently, over 12 million people worldwide have been 'scanned' by them, and this number is still growing rapidly. It is said that they earn quite a bit of WLD for each person they verify, which is even more enjoyable than going to work!
II. How will the 33 million WLD be distributed?
This time, Worldcoin directly threw 33 million WLD at Orb Operators, which is equivalent to 2.5% of the total circulation being distributed! These tokens are not given for free, primarily for:
1. Equipment maintenance cost: The Orb is expensive to make, and maintaining it is even more costly. The tokens are their 'hard work reward'.
2. Expansion incentives: Worldcoin is ambitious, wanting to spread Orbs to every corner of the globe, using tokens to encourage them to recruit more people and set up more stalls.
3. Ecological closed loop: After Orb Operators receive tokens, they can participate in project governance, stake to earn interest, or sell them directly for cash, forming a cycle of 'work-earn-reinvest'.
III. The token design hides mysteries
The token distribution of Worldcoin can be described as a 'textbook operation':
- 75% for the community: Ordinary users and ecological funds get the majority, reflecting the 'inclusive' concept.
- 9.8% for the team: The development team also needs to eat, but the unlocking period has been extended from 3 years to 5 years to gradually release pressure.
- 13.5% for investors: Capitalists eat the meat, but they also have to wait 5 years to cash out.
- 1.7% reserve fund: kept to deal with emergencies, such as market crashes or regulatory raids.
What’s even better is that Orb Operators have upgraded from 'workers' to 'shareholders'. Previously, they received salaries in USDC, but now they are directly paid in WLD, tightly binding them to the project. In the future, they may also participate in voting to decide token distribution and network rules, which significantly increases the ecological stickiness!
IV. Risk warning: There are no free lunches
Although it sounds beautiful, the risks are not small:
1. Regulatory sword of Damocles: The operation of scanning irises with Orbs has already been banned in Hong Kong, Kenya, and other places, and France and Spain are also investigating. If global regulations tighten, the project may directly cool off.
2. Privacy leak risks: Once iris data is leaked, the consequences are unimaginable. Previously, some users were worried that the data would be sold to OpenAI for AI training. Although the official denied it, the trust crisis has already been sown.
3. Selling pressure like a mountain: Although the unlocking period has been extended, there will still be 2 million tokens hitting the market every day for the next five years. Who will take over? This is a big problem.
V. How can ordinary people participate?
If you also want to share a piece of the pie, you can try:
1. Claim airdrops: Find a nearby Orb point, scan your iris to get WLD. But be careful, some places have already been banned, so check local policies first.
2. Focus on ecology: World ID may connect to finance, social, and other fields in the future. By laying out relevant applications in advance, there may be a chance to profit.
3. Cautious investment: Don't let short-term gains cloud your judgment. Study the project's fundamentals more and don't become a bag holder.
Conclusion
This operation by Worldcoin is both a gamble and an innovation. 33 million WLD are thrown at Orb Operators. On the surface, it looks like sharing profits, but in reality, it is constructing a 'verification-reward-governance' closed-loop ecosystem. If World ID can truly cover the globe in the future, WLD might soar; but if regulatory or privacy issues erupt, it could also plummet to zero.
Do you think this is an opportunity or a trap? Let's discuss in the comments! Remember, there are no guaranteed profits in the crypto world, and acting cautiously is the key to longevity! $WLD
