New Biometric Crypto On The Block
The age of AI will be incredibly exciting & it requires new tools that are accessible to everyone.

The WLD token was developed as a part of an iris biometric crypto project by tech company, Tools for Humanity, co-founded by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI – best known as the company behind ChatGPT.
WLD aims to build a biometric imaging device, named the Orb, to verify ‘Proof of Personhood’. The idea behind the endeavour is to be able to verify that you are a unique individual and human. According to the company, this will be done without having to divulge private information such as name, email address, phone number etc. The goal is to reduce the influx of bots and fake virtual identities that are created using artificial intelligence.
Individuals who sign up to the iris biometric project and have their irises scanned by the Orb are rewarded with free WLD tokens alongside a digital ID. To date, an estimated 157 million WLD tokens have been claimed by more than five million users who signed up for the project, according to the Worldcoin website.
WLD Token Price Statistics
WLD is trading at a price of $4.83 while transacting over $532 million in volume in the past 24 hours. With a circulating market cap of $1 billion and a Fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $48 billion, Worldcoin is the 85th ranked crypto by market cap, per CoinGecko.
