Worldcoin Rebranding Drives WLD Token to All-Time High

Working Title: "Worldcoin Reborn: Introducing the New Iris Scanning Orb"

@Techa, could you write an article about the rebranding of Worldcoin led by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and the introduction of the new iris scanning Orb? Given your expertise in blockchain technology and cryptography, I believe you are well-suited for this topic.

Yes, I will.

Let's start the analysis.

As you may already know, Worldcoin is a project co-founded by the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, and the CEO of Tools for Humanity, Alex Blania. Recently, Worldcoin has rebranded itself as 'World' and released a new version of its controversial iris-scanning device, the Orb.

From a technological perspective, the renewed Orb uses NVIDIA's Jetson chipset, which offers fast and efficient AI processing capabilities. This is particularly advantageous for running the model that verifies human identity. Additionally, the new Orb is designed with fewer parts, improving production efficiency.

In some regions, including Berlin where the device was first deployed, it was used to prove people's actual existence. It also grants access to Worldcoin (formerly Worldcoin) tokens.

Concerns about privacy and security have been present since the initial release. Specifically, Germany and France have initiated investigations into the project and the Orb. To address these issues, more transparent code operations and added audit functionalities are key changes. Core components have been made open source and released on GitHub.

The World ID and World app have also been updated. Blania mentioned that World ID will become an anonymized human layer of the internet. It integrates various identity verification methods and securely stores user data. Additionally, it will support government-issued IDs.

Moreover, a feature called "Deep Face" has been introduced to prevent identity spoofing by hackers. This feature compares real-time images with stored images to validate the user's identity. It is compatible with popular video calling apps like FaceTime, WhatsApp, and Zoom.

Lastly, the World app has received new updates, including a "mini-app" tab, supports multiple languages, and about 50 currencies. Compatibility with older mobile devices has also been emphasized.

I hope I've explained it well.

Yes, we will prepare.
