The simple plan for World hasn’t changed, and probably never will. We’re now at 3.
1/ Develop a private way to enable everyone to prove their unique humanity at internet scale.
2/ Use it to launch a digital token (where allowed) to distribute ownership of the network to everyone. The token aligns incentives of everyone to get the network to critical scale and be useful.
3/ Continue to decentralize and scale further.
4/ Among other things, use it to make the benefits of AI accessible to everyone.
1/ Today, I am excited to reveal Worldcoin, a new, global digital currency that will be distributed fairly to as many people as possible. We will launch by giving a free share of Worldcoin to everyone on Earth. Read more: worldcoin.org
2/ It’s still early, but our field tests are very promising: 150k+ sign ups and counting. One Orb signs up 700+ users per week on average. We’ll produce 50k+ devices a year. If these metrics scale, Worldcoin has the potential to onboard more than a billion people in two years.
3/ With this ambitious idea in mind, we encountered many hard technical challenges on the way. These challenges included biometrics, hardware, economics and of course, crypto. worldcoin.org/how-it-works
