Odaily Planet Daily reported that Worldcoin issued an announcement stating: "Shortly after the launch of Worldcoin in July 2023, the Worldcoin Foundation introduced a WLD token reservation mechanism, allowing users who have not yet been verified to reserve WLD tokens and redeem them at some point in the future. This is done to allow as many people as possible to participate in Worldcoin, regardless of whether orb devices are available." The announcement further stated that the original deadline for claiming these tokens was July 31, and it has now been extended by one year to July 31, 2025.
