Worldcoin, now called World Network, is a crypto project that provides global digital identity (World ID) using iris-scanning Orbs and rewards users with WLD tokens. CoinGape covers its $135 million fundraising, WLD price surges, and expansion into new regions. The project also faces major regulatory challenges, including bans in Kenya and investigations into biometric data privacy. These developments highlight the tension between innovation and privacy concerns, making Worldcoin a focal point in the ongoing debate around identity, crypto, and global digital access.
