World has just sold $135 million worth of WLD tokens to venture firms a16z and Bain Capital Crypto to raise capital.

The funds will be used to expand the World Network infrastructure globally, with a focus on the U.S. market—specifically in cities like Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco.

The goal is to increase the number of “Orb” devices that scan irises to issue World IDs, enabling real human verification in the age of AI.
