Sam Altman-led Worldcoin crypto project is now just ‘World’, unveils next-gen iris scanning Orbs

Worldcoin, a crypto project co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently announced that it is dropping the word “coin” from its name and that it will be “World” from now. Launched earlier this year in July, Altman said that over 2 million people from around the world had signed up for the platform.

To combat this very issue, World will offer “human verification services” using blockchain,
