Worldcoin provides a digital identity and financial network aimed at giving everyone access to the global economy, regardless of their location or economic status. Its main product is the Worldcoin wallet, which works with the World ID to enable users to make transactions on the Worldcoin network. The technology is based on an open-source protocol, allowing the community of developers and technologists to modify and improve it. This community is supported by the Worldcoin Foundation, which helps it grow until it can sustain itself. Unlike many competitors, Worldcoin focuses on universal access and operates globally, targeting individuals who want to engage in the economy through a digital identity. The company's goal is to democratize economic participation in an increasingly digital world.

The Wynwood location is part of World, co-founded by Sam Altman and building a global ‘proof of personhood’ networkJust off NW 24th Street in Wynwood, a new storefront blends right into the creative chaos of street art and specialty coffee shops. But what’s inside is more science fiction than streetwear: eight glossy white orbs arranged under a wood-framed pavilion, quietly inviting people to prove they’re human.Yes, human.This is the East Coast flagship of World, the identity and financial network co-founded by Sam Altman. At the heart of it all: the Orb, a biometric device that issues a “World ID,” a privacy-preserving, digital proof that the user is a unique person and not a bot.But if you ask Tiago Sada, the Chief Product Officer of Tools for Humanity (World’s founding team), the technology is just one piece of the story.“World is about bringing high technology to our everyday lives,” he told Refresh Miami. “And there are very few places that represent that as well as Miami does.”Sada, who grew up in Mexico City building robots with friends, later earned a scholarship to study robotics in the U.S. He dropped out after two years to launch a fintech startup that scaled across Latin America. “Once I sold the company, I took a sabbatical, and part of that, I lived in Miami,” he said
Tools for Humanity, co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, officially launched its biometric identity verification system, World, previously known as Worldcoin, in the U.S. on May 1. This launch introduces the Orb Mini, a portable device designed to scan users’ irises and generate a unique World identifier, stored on the blockchain, according to a statement. The initiative aims to address the growing challenge of distinguishing humans from AI-generated entities online. Don't Miss: The company is led by co-founder and CEO Alex Blania, who frequently speaks at major tech and privacy events to advocate for the company's vision, according to World. In a LinkedIn post, Blania introduced the rebranding of Worldcoin to World, outlining the company's vision to build a global human network through identity verification, financial tools, and community, while unveiling World ID 3.0, the redesigned Orb device, and World Chain, a blockchain prioritizing human-validated transactions
In brief. Indonesian regulators have suspended biometric ID project World’s operations in the country. The regulators claim World failed to register for the proper license
Sam Altman’s digital identity effort World made its official U.S. launch.As the Financial Times (FT) reported late Wednesday (April 30), the debut of this project — which involves eyeball scanning technology and a digital token — is happening as the U.S. government is taking a pro-cryptocurrency stance.World has initially launched its product outside of the U.S., in part because the Biden administration had cracked down on the crypto sector. Since then, President Donald Trump has campaigned to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet.”According to the FT, Altman — also CEO of OpenAI — announced the U.S. launch at an event Wednesday in San Francisco, telling the audience: “I’m a very proud American, I think America should lead innovation, not fight it off.”Altman added that the company’s tech was “a way to make sure humans remained central and special in a world where the internet had a lot of AI-driven content.”“There were very good reasons why we focused on making sure that the product worked in the entire world before coming to the United States
On its financial services side, World launched a partnership with Visa to issue a new payment card tied to its World App wallet.
