The Worldcoin project, founded by Sam Altman, has announced an ambitious launch of 7,500 'orbs' in the US by the end of 2025. These iris-scanning devices are designed for biometric verification of users, which is the foundation of the Worldcoin ecosystem. The rollout will begin in six key cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Atlanta, with a focus on mass user engagement. This was reported by CoinDesk, citing official project statements.
Additionally, Worldcoin has launched the Pioneer Grant program for American users who installed World App by May 1, 2025. They will receive 150 WLD as a bonus, aimed at encouraging early participation. The goal of the project is to create a global network of digital identification, but the initiative has already sparked discussions about privacy and data security.
The launch of 'orbs' in the US is part of Worldcoin's strategy to scale World Chain, an L2 solution based on Ethereum that provides fast and cheap transactions. Despite criticism, the project is actively moving forward, attracting new users and partners.
