In 2023, Sam Altman has become the public face of ChatGPT and the latest=20

 of crypto projects =E2=80=94 works, as well as some of the questions raise=
d about=20
Worldcoin's efforts.

What is Worldcoin?

Founded in 2019 by Tools for Humanity <https://www.toolsforhumanity.com/>,=
=20
Worldcoin is a crypto-focused project with a three-part goal of creating=20
universal online IDs (World ID), a global cryptocurrency (WLD), and a=20
self-custodial wallet app (World App) that enables payments using WLD,=20
stablecoins, and traditional fiat currencies. It was co-founded by Altman a=
nd=20
Alex Blania, who serves as Tools for Humanity=E2=80=99s CEO.

Worldcoin=E2=80=99s lofty mission=20
<https://worldcoin.org/blog/worldcoin/what-is-worldcoin-how-does-it-work>=
=20
entails freely distributing WLD as a form of universal basic income to ever=

The company, which is still in beta, says it has so far onboarded nearly tw=

able to receive theWorldcoin token=20

. Its World Applaunched=20

How does Worldcoin work, and will it really scan people=E2=80=99s eyes?

It=E2=80=99s possible to use Worldcoin without scanning your eyes, but in o=
rder to=20
claim afree share of Worldcoin tokens, an individual has to verify their=20
identity with a five-pound, chrome imaging device calledThe Orb=20

What has been the response to the project?

When Worldcoin was announced in 2021, the project received some criticism f=

privacy advocates <https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/1451990496537088000> =
such=20
as NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who voiced alarm about how the project=

planned to handle its biometric information. (Altman acknowledged inrespons=

<https://twitter.com/sama/status/1452011480883286020?lang=3Den> that he had=
