oWorldcoin announced that it has ceased one of its operations in the Indian, Brazilian and French markets. This means that the Orb verification function has been suspended offline. Orb is a system that scans eyeballs and verifies identity. It was designed to facilitate recruitment in regions where traditional identity documents are not available

The company used to offer rewards in USDC to local Orb operators to incentivize offline recruitment. But then they started paying them in their native token WLD.

According to Moneycontrol's report, Worldcoin has "quietly halted" the Orb verification process in India. In addition, foundations such as Tools for Humanity have stated that Orb had limited plans in India, France and Brazil from the beginning.
