Sam Altman (the CEO of OpenAI).
🎯 Main Goal:
Worldcoin aims to:
Create a global digital identity system
Provide free cryptocurrency to everyone
Help with fair distribution of wealth in the future (especially with AI impact)
👁️ How Worldcoin Works
1. The Orb (Eye Scanner)
Worldcoin uses a device called the Orb
It scans your iris (eye) to confirm you're a real human
This creates a unique ID called World ID
👉 Purpose:
To prevent fake accounts and bots in the digital world
2. World ID
A digital identity proving you are human
Can be used in apps, voting systems, or online platforms
3. WLD Token
The official cryptocurrency is called WLD
Users may receive free tokens after verification (depending on region)
💰 Is Worldcoin Free?
Some people get free WLD tokens after scanning their eye
But availability depends on your country
