Worldcoin’s World App has achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing 10 million registered users. With an average of 2 million new users joining daily and over 5 million sign-ups per month, the project has seen exponential growth since its launch in June 2023. Tiago Sada, the head of product at Tools for Humanity, the parent company of Worldcoin, revealed that the platform now boasts more daily users than its total monthly user count in January 2024.
World App, the company’s flagship product, serves as a platform for users to register their identity using state-of-the-art eye scanning technology known as “Orbs.” This innovative approach allows Worldcoin to create a unique and secure user experience. However, Remco Bloemen, the head of blockchain at the Worldcoin Foundation, emphasized that World App was never intended to be the sole solution on the Worldcoin protocol.
One notable success story of World App involves a user in Kenya who expressed their gratitude for being able to purchase a goat with the funds received from a Worldcoin airdrop. This heartwarming story quickly went viral, capturing the attention of the crypto community. In response, individuals from the community sent additional cryptocurrency to the user, enabling them to acquire more goats. To date, the user has acquired a total of 13 goats and continues to expand their herd.
The goat pictured above has even been given a name: “Sam.” When asked why this name was chosen, the owner explained that it was in honor of Sam Altman, the co-founder of Worldcoin. Altman is also the co-founder and current CEO of OpenAI, a prominent artificial intelligence startup. OpenAI’s ChatGPT product is widely regarded as the leading technology in generative AI.
In related news, Worldcoin has recently implemented stricter privacy checks and introduced the option for users to unverify their World ID. These updates aim to enhance user privacy and provide greater control over personal information.
With its rapidly growing user base and commitment to universal basic income, Worldcoin continues to make significant strides in the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
