OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s Worldcoin project has not lived up to its high expectations. The startup relocated its course and even causes the world currency to fall completely.
You couldn’t just buy the Worldcoin. Although the cryptocurrency used the so-called Polygon blockchain, known from Ethereum, you must store it in a Worldcoin app that must first be activated by having your iris scanned in one of the 35 cities in participating countries. The device that does this is called the Orb.
This was banned in some countries, which prevented the project from getting off the ground.
Wordlcoin, which will now simply be called World, now wants to focus on its identification technology. The latest model of the Orb, which uses NVIDIA’s Jetson chipset, will be rolling out soon.
