70922995200 The Future of an Eyeball: Worldcoin Aims to Rule Web3 with Iris
Can you imagine a future where Web3 no longer requires wallet mnemonic phrases, and you can complete identity verification and transactions just by 'scanning an eye'? This is not science fiction, but a reality that Worldcoin is advancing.
Through a metallic spherical device called Orb, Worldcoin collects users' iris features to generate a unique and unforgeable World ID. This system is already used by over 12 million people globally and is rapidly expanding into the U.S. market. More importantly, it is addressing the most challenging issues in the crypto world, such as 'Sybil attacks' and identity fraud.
Of course, this has also sparked significant controversy. EU countries question its invasion of privacy, with Spain and Germany demanding the deletion of all iris data. The Indonesian government has directly halted its operations.
But the more controversy it stirs, the more it indicates that it has touched on some entrenched interests. Worldcoin is not building a 'coin'; it is challenging the paradigm of Web3 infrastructure.
This war is not about money, but about who you are in the future and who verifies that.
