#Worldcoin agrees that asking for an iris scan was too much. They have already found a new solution to confirm identity
Worldcoin wants to turn the page and has even changed its name.
In addition to iris scanning with a new Orb, it will also allow you to obtain tokens using your passport.
Worldcoin's landing in Spain did not go as expected. The company, driven by Sam Altman, allowed you to obtain tokens in exchange for confirming your identity through an iris scan. But this treatment led to its precautionary blocking by the AEPD, since iris data requires "special protection."
Now, during their first major event in five years, they have explained what steps the company will take. A company that is now simply called World and whose strategy will become less dependent on the iris scan for which they became so famous.
World no longer needs the iris to confirm that it is you. #World ID Credentials is the company's new way of confirming identity in its systems. In addition to iris scanning, World will also allow users to register completely without having to get close to one of the Orbs. This change is mainly to aim for more users, far from the places where these orbs are, to be able to use the application.
