Sam Altman’s Worldcoin project continues to gain global traction, recently expanding its World ID verification system to Poland.
The project, known for its unique biometric verification process through its ‘Orb’ device, saw a 5% price rise in its native token WLD following the announcement.
On September 18, Worldcoin announced the rollout of World ID verification in Warsaw, marking another step in its European expansion. This technology provides proof of human identity, helping individuals distinguish between AI bots and real people while maintaining privacy.
