🚨 Big news in the crypto and identity space! 🚨 Sam Altman and Alex Blania’s ambitious project, *World* (formerly Worldcoin), has officially landed in the U.S., aiming to tackle the rise of AI-generated content by expanding its global proof-of-humanity network. Here’s what you need to know:
The rollout kicks off in cities like Austin, Miami, LA, San Francisco, and others, with plans to deploy *thousands* of their iconic biometric Orbs worldwide by 2025. These sleek, chrome devices scan your iris to verify your humanity, unlocking access to the World App and the $WLD token ecosystem. Plus, a new Texas manufacturing facility is ramping up production to meet demand!
But wait—there’s more. Meet the *Orb Mini*, a portable verification tool launching in 2026. Designed to empower users in the Global South, it lets verified individuals help others confirm their identities, decentralizing trust and scaling the network organically.
Partnerships are heating up too. Match Group (think Tinder) is testing World ID in Japan for age verification, with plans to expand across its platforms. The World App also dropped major updates, integrating USDC via Circle, fiat ramps with Stripe, and even prediction markets through Kalshi. Oh, and a *World Visa Card* is in the works, blending blockchain ID with real-world payments.
While the $WLD token dipped slightly post-launch, the long-term vision is sparking curiosity. Could this fusion of identity and crypto redefine how we interact online?
Stay tuned for deeper dives into World’s ecosystem, partnerships, and what it means for the future of digital identity. Follow along for more breaking updates! 🌍✨
