World
World (WLD) is a cryptocurrency that aims to create a universal digital identity and financial system. Through a device called the "Orb," Worldcoin verifies users’ identities with an iris scan, creating a unique World ID to confirm they are human. (worldcoin.org)

Technology & Use Case
World Network leverages the Optimism Superchain for scalable Ethereum-based tokenomics. The core innovation is the Orb, an iris-scanning device that confirms proof-of-human existence and privacy—no raw images are stored. Verified users receive a World ID and can claim WLD tokens as an incentive.
Origins & Team
Founded by Sam Altman, Max Novendstern, and Alex Blania under the company Tools for Humanity, World started in 2019. It rebranded as World Network in late 2024, continuing its mission to create a global, decentralized identity framework.
Ecosystem & Real-World Impact
World Network aims to support millions of verified human users — with over 6.9 million scans done by mid-2025. Companies like Eightco have begun adopting WLD in treasury plays, betting on its future as “proof-of-human” becomes increasingly vital. However, global regulators in countries like Spain, Portugal, France, and Kenya have raised concerns about data privacy, leading to temporary bans or investigations.
