Last week, OpenAI, an artificial intelligence startup, released a text-to-video model called “Sora”. Following this, the cryptocurrency AI sector experienced a new wave of growth, and the token of Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Alex Blania, surged. In just three days, it went from $3.12 to $6.3, a surge of over 100%.
Worldcoin announced on Sunday (18th) on the X platform that the number of daily active users of its encrypted wallet application “World App” has exceeded one million, showing significant growth compared to the 100,000 active users in November last year. In the past week, the WLD token has seen a surge of over 140%.
Worldcoin, launched in July 2023, is a digital identity verification project that claims to be “privacy-preserving” and aims to promote Universal Basic Income (UBI) globally. Users can obtain its native token, WLD, after completing iris scan verification. However, Worldcoin’s goal of implementing UBI based on a biometric identity system has sparked controversy, mainly focused on privacy concerns regarding its metal iris scanning device called “Orbs”.
