Worldcoin Rebrands to World, Launches Next-Gen Iris-Scanning Orb
Worldcoin, co-founded by Sam Altman, has rebranded as 'World' and unveiled a new iris-scanning device called the Orb during a live event in San Francisco. CEO Alex Blania stated the old name no longer fits their vision, as they aim to broaden their identity beyond cryptocurrency. The next-gen Orb is designed for mass production and faster operation, enhancing user verification experiences. World also announced a partnership with Latin America's leading delivery service, Rappi, to facilitate home verifications. The startup's approach to identity verification raises privacy concerns amid ongoing investigations in various regions.
