Worldcoin makes a big move in the middle of the night! The iris payment device Orb Mini enters the US, can you pay just by scanning your eye?
"The era of eye-scanning payments has arrived! Ultraman uses Orb Mini to bring the Starbucks cash register into your eye!"
Just this week, Sam Altman's 'Human Verification Empire' Worldcoin suddenly launched the nuclear-grade portable iris scanner Orb Mini, turning identity verification into a 'sci-fi prop'!
The Orb Mini resembles a cyber-style smartphone, equipped with dual sensors specifically for iris scanning, completing 'human verification + payment authorization' in 3 seconds. The official announcement states that it aims to transform into a cash register terminal for offline merchants, allowing users to simply stare at the device to pay for coffee, online shopping, or even dating expenses with WLD tokens. Netizens sarcastically commented: 'Is this making iris replace Alipay? Does Ultraman want to be the global payment godfather?'
2. The 'Regulatory Chess' behind the US debut
Choosing May 1 to launch in the US is no coincidence—Trump just signed the 'Cryptocurrency Freedom Act', and Worldcoin is leveraging this to sidestep the SEC's stringent regulations, passing compliance controversies onto 'hardware devices'. The first batch of experience stores opened in San Francisco, Miami, and other Web3 hubs, offering WLD airdrops for scanning, attracting a large number of geeks to queue at dawn.
3. The ultimate weapon in the 'Human-Machine War'
In the face of deep fake videos generated by ChatGPT-6, World Chain has launched the Deep Face real-time detection feature, using Orb Mini to scan irises + facial dynamics, identifying AI imposters in 0.5 seconds. Platforms like Japan's Tinder and Reddit have already integrated this, with netizens joking: 'In the future, if you want to meet someone from online dating, you’ll have to bring Orb Mini to verify their identity!'
