Linked with creators of disruptive AI projects, WLD has, in some ways, become the token representation of the broader AI market and emerging trends.
So, the frenzy created by Sora soon started reflecting on the coin’s market value.
This remains a pressing issue
Co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Worldcoin is a cryptocurrency project that aims to become the world’s largest identity and financial network.
The onboarding process involves iris scans, which, as per the creators, confirms humanness and eliminates bots’ involvement. In return, users get free WLD tokens.

However, concerns about data privacy have inhibited the project’s growth.
Several countries have launched investigation into the project’s biometrics data collection, with Kenya even suspending the token in its jurisdiction.
