Worldcoin's Official Twitter Account Shares "The Time Has Come" Message
Worldcoin stands out as a biometric cryptocurrency project based on iris scanning technology. The project also comes with the World ID system, iris-scanning Orb, and the World App wallet. Although many experts express privacy and security concerns about the project, Sam Altman, the co-founder of Worldcoin, believes that privacy concerns will diminish over time due to the open-source nature of the company's iris scanning artificial intelligence.
On July 23rd, the official Twitter account of Worldcoin shared a message in the late hours stating, "The time has come. 24.7.23." Although no further details were provided in the post, it appeared to refer to the altcoin's launch scheduled for today.
The spokesperson for Tools for Humanity, the technology company behind Worldcoin, declined to comment on the launch or provide further details about the altcoin.
In its Series C funding round, Tools for Humanity secured a $115 million investment from Blockchain Capital. Other investors include a16z, Bain Capital Crypto, and Distributed Global. Additionally, the company received a $100 million investment last year in March, valuing the company at $3 billion.
