Worldcoin: Revolutionizing Digital Identity with World ID and WLD Token

Worldcoin, an exceptional digital identification platform, revolutionizes online identity verification, empowering individuals worldwide to distinguish themselves from bots and AI algorithms. Co-founded by Sam Altman, the mastermind behind ChatGPT and OpenAI CEO, this innovative project seeks to address the very AI gold rush that Altman contributed to. By leveraging cryptographic and blockchain tools, Worldcoin introduces a robust digital passport system utilizing the WLD token, enabling secure and efficient transactions.

World ID: Pioneering Proof of Personhood

The cornerstone of the Worldcoin platform is the World ID, a revolutionary concept that facilitates online human identity verification while ensuring user privacy. Central to this groundbreaking system is the Orb, an advanced iris-scanning device. The Orb captures the unique iris pattern of each individual, creating a distinct identification code called the IrisCode. Importantly, this code does not contain any personal information, effectively preventing multiple World IDs from being acquired by a single individual. Once the Orb completes the iris scan and stores the anonymous IrisCode securely, it issues a unique World ID to the user. The iris images are permanently deleted, eliminating the need for repeated iris scanning for identity verification. To enhance the security and reliability of the World ID system, each generated World ID is added to the Worldcoin blockchain. Users can then utilize a cryptographically secure application for seamless authentication, fortifying the platform's digital identification process. World App: Accessible and Secure The World App is the gateway to obtaining a World ID and is currently operating on the Polygon blockchain during its beta phase, with plans for migration to Optimism's Superchain.

Worldcoin Token (WLD): Empowering Transactions

During the beta program, Worldcoin distributed WLD tokens to participating users, and on July 24, 2023, the token went live, listing on various trading platforms and exchanges, including the Crypto.com App and Exchange. In celebration of its official launch, a significant number of WLD tokens were airdropped to users. According to the Worldcoin white paper, the platform plans to issue a total of 10 billion WLD tokens over 15 years. Presently, approximately 143 million WLD tokens are in circulation. Among them, 43 million WLD tokens were allocated to verified World App users, while 100 million were provided to market makers to facilitate trading activities.

Acquiring WLD on Crypto.com: A Step-by-Step Guide

- Download and install the Crypto.com App from the App Store or Google Play Store. - Complete the KYC verification process within the App. - Deposit funds into the account wallet using bank transfer, credit card, or another crypto wallet. - Navigate to the 'Buy' section, search for Worldcoin (WLD), and initiate the trade for WLD using the deposited funds.

Criticism and Future Implications

Despite its promising potential, Worldcoin has encountered criticism, especially concerning its use of biometric data, such as eye scans, for identity verification. Privacy concerns and data security issues have led to skepticism among some users and critics. Nevertheless, Worldcoin's novel approach to digital identity verification and its dedication to fostering a global financial and identity network present a compelling vision for the future of the digital landscape. By creating an accessible and secure system, Worldcoin opens doors to increased economic opportunities for individuals worldwide.

Conclusion

Worldcoin, a groundbreaking digital identification platform co-founded by Sam Altman, endeavors to redefine how individuals verify their human identity in the digital world. With its innovative World ID, World App, and the Worldcoin token (WLD), the platform paves the way for a more secure and accessible global financial landscape. As Worldcoin continues to evolve, addressing concerns and building on its strengths, it stands at the forefront of shaping the future of digital identity and financial accessibility, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive and connected world.

a hypothesis.

[ ’ ride or die ’ ] starter for @iriscoded  – ! 💭

It was a nice day today, the sun was shining but not in a way that it was offensive. There was a soothing, gentle breeze passing by and causing the branches of the trees to sway softly, almost dancing as created shade for everyone who walked on the campus. It was such a nice day that eating outside was enjoyable, and certainly a much better option than choosing to stay in the crowded student union building or the cafes with never ending lines to order your lunch, much less acquire a table.

Jitae really enjoyed being outside, it felt so serene, and brought happy memories of his travels around Europe to mind. It was even more enjoyable than usual since today he was eating with his best friend, Eojin. Honestly, the sugar addicted giant was more like a brother to Jitae than a best friend. Their meeting had been a little interesting, but once they had gotten to spend more time around each other, they quickly warmed up to each other and became inseparable. 

Today they were snacking on brownies. Of course. When was it not something sugary? Eojin had brought the snacks today, and they were the best kind of brownie. The kind where the top layer was crunchy and flaky... that would reveal a gooey soft center... and leave your fingers sticky with sweet chocolate. Jitae happily chose the five pieces he wanted. It had to be five. No more, no less. He smiled wide at Eojin, thanking him before beginning to pick at the flaky surface of the first brownie he chose.

As the pair began to eat their snacks and chat idly about how their classes were going, annoying new tasks they had to handle at work, and their little side project of dream observations they were working on in their free time, Jitae’s mind intruded with a thought. A very interesting one. He blinked, taking into consideration the notion he was about to bring to the table. 

“Huh...,” he spoke out, shifting his gaze from Eojin’s chocolate covered face to the pile of brownies between them on the table. He began to pick at a brownie, pulling the crunchy surface off of it bit by bit as he nibbled his sugar coated bottom lip. Then he opened his mouth to speak, “I have a hypothesis.”

“What if you injected brownie mix into your bloodstream?” 

He paused to give the other boy a moment to consider before continuing, “Like, since your body temperature is like, 98 degrees, the brownies would cook over a few days and then you will have clumps in your arms and you just cut it open and eat the brownies.”

He shook his head at the table, distant expression plastered on his face, “I should be a scientist...”
