Worldcoin is building a global identity and financial network owned by its users. Its core products include World ID, a privacy-preserving digital identity that allows users to prove their humanness online, and the Worldcoin token (WLD), a digital currency distributed to every verified human. Over 2 million people have signed up for World ID via Worldcoin's Orb iris scanner since launching in 2022.
Worldcoin was founded by Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and is supported by a team with deep expertise in artificial intelligence, cryptography, and global operations. The company has raised over $240 million from top investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, and Blockchain Capital.
Joining Worldcoin represents an opportunity to tackle some of the most important technological challenges of our time - distinguishing humans from AI online, expanding economic access globally, and laying the foundation for AI-funded UBI. The company's commitment to privacy and user-owned infrastructure is attracting top talent excited to build a more equitable internet. However, unlocking Worldcoin's potential will require navigating complex technical, regulatory and adoption risks in a rapidly evolving ecosystem.
