The newly launched Worldcoin (WLD) token of the Worldcoin crypto project gained ground on its debut day as investors jumped on the hype around artificial intelligence.
Worldcoin's price increased from $1.70 to $3.58 before reverting to $2.25 as of press time.
At the time of writing, Worldcoin was up 55% in the last 24 hours. The project's white paper states that the coin's initial supply is fixed at 10 billion tokens. The current circulating supply is 104,872,616 WLD tokens, per CoinMarketCap data.
Eyeball-scanning crypto project Worldcoin officially launched on Monday after three years of development.
Alex DovbnyaThe cryptocurrency initiative, which is now generating buzz, scans people's eyes with a tiny gadget called an "orb" to create a distinctive digital identity. According to Worldcoin lingo, the identification, or World ID, confers "proof of personhood" to its owner.
Worldcoin, co-founded by OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman, has announced that it has begun the rollout of 1,500 orbs to meet global demand for world ID.
According to the cofounder's letter, if Worldcoin is successful, it may vastly expand economic opportunities and scale a solid method for differentiating real people from AI online.
