Worldcoin (WLD) is the token of World, a network that tries to prove online that an account belongs to a real, unique human without revealing who that human is. People verify once with an iris-scanning device called the Orb, receive a privacy-preserving credential called World ID, and can then prove "I am a unique person" to apps, chains and services. WLD is the token distributed to those verified people and used for governance and ecosystem incentives. The project matters because bots and AI agents are getting harder to tell apart from people, and World is the largest attempt so far to build a proof-of-personhood layer at global scale.
The project launched as Worldcoin and was renamed World Network ("World" for short) on October 17, 2024. The token kept the name Worldcoin and the ticker WLD.
Worldcoin was started by Tools for Humanity (TFH), a company founded by Sam Altman, Alex Blania and Max Novendstern. TFH built the Orb, World App and the early protocol during the beta phase, and has since transferred core intellectual property to the World Foundation, a memberless Cayman Islands foundation company with no owners or shareholders. Its subsidiary, World Assets Limited, is registered in the British Virgin Islands.
Key dates, from the project's own publications:
Orb verification The Orb is a custom camera with infrared iris imaging, face depth mapping and thermal sensing for liveness detection. It checks that the person is a real human and has not verified before. According to the whitepaper, images are analyzed in local memory and deleted after verification, with data sent to the user's own device ("Personal Custody").
Uniqueness check without a central iris database The uniqueness service uses anonymized multi-party computation (AMPC): the iris code is split into encrypted fragments held by separate parties, currently run with Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, UC Berkeley and Nethermind, so no single party holds a usable template.
Anonymous proofs When a user logs in to an app with World ID, the app receives a zero-knowledge proof built with Semaphore, an open-source zk-SNARK privacy layer. The app learns that the person is a verified unique human, not which one.
Token grants Orb-verified World ID holders can claim recurring WLD grants, where local rules permit.

Supply rules (from the tokenomics whitepaper):
Most crypto identity projects either verify documents through a company (KYC) or rely on social graphs and staking, both of which are easier to fake at scale. World uses dedicated biometric hardware to answer one narrow question, "is this a unique human?", and then separates that answer from the person's identity with multi-party computation and zero-knowledge proofs. It also pairs identity with a token grant to every verified person, which gives it a large user base but also invites scrutiny.
WLD is not the token of a standalone layer 1. It is an ERC-20 token, and World Chain is a rollup that settles to Ethereum through the OP Stack, much like Optimism and other Superchain members. What sets World Chain apart is that it reads World ID natively, so it can give priority and free gas to verified humans rather than to whoever pays the highest fee. Compared with naming and profile systems such as ENS, World ID does not publish anything about the person; compared with other proof-of-personhood projects, it relies on hardware verification instead of phone or social checks.
WLD on Ethereum is secured by Ethereum itself; on Optimism and World Chain it follows the OP Stack rollup model, which depends on Ethereum settlement and the rollup's fault-proof and sequencer setup. There is no WLD mining. On the identity side, the whitepaper states that the protocol components are open source and audited by Nethermind and Least Authority, core Orb firmware is open source with published audits, and a public bug bounty has run since February 2024.
If AI makes fake accounts cheap, proof of personhood becomes basic internet infrastructure. World is the largest live attempt at it, with its whitepaper citing about 40 million World App users and about 18 million Orb-verified people. Whether it becomes a public utility or remains a controversial company-led network is one of the more consequential open questions in crypto.
WLD trades on centralized exchanges and on decentralized exchanges on Ethereum, Optimism and World Chain. Verified users can also receive WLD through grants in World App where permitted. Check that trading and grants are legal in your country before buying.
