Editor's Note: Identity verification via iris scanning to provide universal basic income (UBI) for users worldwide. Users can obtain WLD tokens through the app and participate in trading and investing within mini-apps such as Poop and Uno. Despite facing complex market models and risks, if successful, this ecosystem could become a new giant in the crypto industry. The meme coin ecosystem is rapidly growing—users earn tokens by downloading mini-apps and gain opportunities to invest. Although WLD’s economic model is complex, Worldcoin has the potential to become a major platform that reshapes the crypto landscape.
Below is the original content (slightly edited for readability):
The orb that scans your eyes makes me uncomfortable. It unsettles me deeply, but that doesn’t matter, darling. Deep inside me—the rational part, cold and reptilian—sees Worldchain and its expanding suite of apps and memes as the greatest asymmetric bet in investing today (and you don’t even need an eye scan to get involved).
Here’s my “dumb” bullish case (and why I’m buying WLD and pump.fun-style memes like "IRON SAM" and joining this ecosystem):
According to Sam Altman’s recent blog post, OpenAI has unlocked Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). In 2025, AI will enter workplaces seriously—as intelligent agents.
An employer can hire messy, complicated humans (costing thousands per month), or pay a fraction to deploy an agent—one without emotional issues or health insurance needs. Obviously, which option would employers choose?
Global hiring for knowledge workers stalls. A survival crisis emerges—both psychological and financial. Knowledge work vanishes. Economic fractures appear. Ravens caw. Once well-paid, ambitious elites shift from societal assets to burdens.
Meanwhile, OpenAI continues advancing toward “superintelligence”—intelligence smarter than the collective wisdom of all humans on Earth. Each release brings deeper economic disruption… even as technological breakthroughs accelerate.
The economy turns into ruins and ash. Harsh reality sets in. Governments are forced to provide monthly allowances to their bankrupt citizens (i.e., Universal Basic Income, or UBI). Unfortunately, most governments are already over-leveraged. Stimulus must be funded by printing money. Hyperinflation looms.
In the face of runaway inflation, humanity needs a backstop… Enter Worldcoin (WLD)—a token on a blockchain co-founded six years ago by Sam Altman! What’s its unique value proposition? Free money, folks!!! Money that won’t hyperinflate. You just stare into a powerful eye-scanning orb, prove your account is human-generated, and we’ll transfer value to you monthly.
Humans around the globe log into the World app each month to collect their allowance (“Wake up, wake up, wake up—it’s the first of the month”). Then they busy themselves pondering the meaning of life in a post-work era.
Random Thoughts on the Above Scenario (and the Future of World)
This future is clearly hypothetical—and perhaps unlikely—but some elements feel inevitable.
The crypto Twitter community criticizes Worldcoin as a “low-floating, high-market-cap VC coin,” while ignoring the fact that UBI must come from somewhere. (“Extra supply will bring you cricket protein amid dusty sandstorms in 2028, my child!”)
Based on public comments, Altman appears deeply involved with the Worldcoin ecosystem. This leads me to believe Worldchain will be the first blockchain home for ChatGPT’s intelligent agents. In other words, World may become the financial infrastructure for AGI and superintelligence. It could be the bridge between humans and machines.
Worldcoin’s user base is radically different from other crypto projects. There are no eye-scanning orbs in the United States yet, so the chain’s initial 22 million users are spread across other countries. Many users = unbanked individuals (exactly the group crypto OGs originally wanted to reach!).
You can think of World as its own human-centric internet. While the current web may be flooded by AI agents, World could become a “carbon-based internet” designed specifically for humans.
We’ve entered the “Age of Exponential Change.” Technological progress fuels further progress until the pace becomes bewildering. Rapid change means you’ll grow weary of change itself. In short: moving forward, everyone will regularly experience psychological discomfort.
Technology doesn’t care whether we can cope. The eye-scanning orb is just one of many uncomfortable changes ahead. Maybe it disgusts you (makes you want to curl up), but over 10 million others seem unfazed. I suspect we’ll soon treat iris scanning like unlocking our phones with facial recognition—something we barely notice anymore (i.e., almost never).
World’s Architecture
When you view stats in the World app, they refer to users as “humans.” This reminds us of the platform’s uniqueness and immense potential. Elsewhere, bots are emerging and dominating social networks. Only Worldchain can distinguish humans from AI. This enables cool real-time use cases, like provably fair airdrops (i.e., 1 “human” = 1 recurring airdrop).
Worldcoin is the first blockchain to solve the Sybil attack problem… and this capability can extend beyond the chain (e.g., you can now log into World’s Discord using your World ID, and your account gets a special tag verifying you as a “human”).
(This flips the current norm—we currently assume users are human unless proven otherwise. In a few years, we might assume users are AI until proven human.)
The Rise of a Human-Centric Internet and World’s “Mini-Apps”
Among everything above, what excites me most is the mini-apps. Once you install the World app on your phone, you can access a mini-app store via your wallet. From there, you can download arcade games, meme apps, airdrop apps, social apps, etc.
You don’t need an eye scan to access or use mini-apps. Without scanning, you may have limited access to certain features, but most functions remain usable. For example, some mini-apps airdrop tokens to users who log in daily. All the mini-apps I’ve seen only airdrop to scanned users. However, once these tokens become liquid, anyone can trade them. (This actually makes sense—it prevents airdrop abuse.)
Mini-apps launched about three months ago and already host over 80 apps, with more than 5.9 billion views! In total, users from 160 countries have interacted with at least one app.
By these metrics, World is arguably the most successful ecosystem in crypto today. Mini-apps have attracted 2.3 million daily active users in under three months! Compare that to Solana’s entire blockchain, which sees about 4.6 million daily active addresses (many of which are likely Sybil accounts).
About half of the 20 million users who downloaded the World app have completed the eye scan. That means 10 million verified users in the ecosystem. This number grows by over 80,000 daily.
Why Explore the Frontier of Worldcoin?
If World achieves its vision, WLD itself could become one of the most important tokens in the industry—easily ranking among the top 3. Currently, World’s market cap is $1.8 billion, while XRP, the third-largest blockchain today, has a market cap of $153 billion—85 times larger than World’s.
However, WLD’s token economics are difficult to parse… WLD demand must outpace supply growth to drive price appreciation (and supply increases faster as World attracts more users and UBI recipients). So what they need is explosive growth in actual WLD use cases (e.g., providing liquidity in pools, staking in farms, etc.). It’s not impossible—but certainly not easy.
If World succeeds, value won’t accumulate solely in WLD… it will also flow to tokens issued on Worldchain. That’s why I’m also directing some investment attention to altcoins within the World app.
Why I’m Excited About Altcoins Built on World
I’m bullish on World’s mini-apps—these are micro-apps embedded within the main “wallet” app. Here, you’ll find meme launch platforms, arcade games, social apps, DeFi tools, and more. There are already over 80 apps, including fun memes I’ve bought like "IRON SAM," "ORB," "MILEI," and "TRUMP."
The World app is like an ATM spitting out money… If you prove you’re human via eye scan, you qualify for UBI (Universal Basic Income). This means you can log in monthly and claim more WLD.
I haven’t pinned down the exact amount of WLD UBI payments, but it seems to be around 5 or 6 WLD per month. If you live in the US or EU, that may not sound like much—but remember, World’s users span over 160 countries (each with vastly different cost of living).
Beyond WLD UBI, World users can download other apps that give away free tokens. Many of these distribute tokens daily rather than monthly (e.g., ORB and ORO). This means users are incentivized daily to open the World app and its mini-apps to claim free money.
Users can choose to cash out these free tokens—or do what we degens naturally tend to do: reinvest them into other opportunities that could multiply their holdings. This is why I’m so bullish on World’s memes… Users receive free WLD (and potentially dozens of other altcoins), which they can then use to invest in more memes. It’s like the “wealth effect” we’ve seen on other chains (e.g., many Jito airdrop recipients sold their tokens to buy Solana memes).
World’s distribution mechanism is insane. Right now, the largest altcoin I’ve found on Worldchain, ORO, already has more on-chain holders (1.12 million) than BONK (879,000)! Of course, market cap is much lower because Worldcoin users’ lifetime value (currently) is far below that of Solana users. Their user base consists of regular people—not crypto whales. One breakout app could change everything overnight.
Trading memes within World’s apps has only been live for less than a week. Take Poop, an app that allows you to create and trade memes. Over 1,000 tokens have already been launched. Interestingly, only users who’ve completed the eye scan can launch tokens, but anyone with the World app can trade them.
The mini-app ecosystem is still in its infancy, and these altcoins have shockingly low market caps… some with FDVs (fully diluted valuations) around $500! Haha. On Poop, the largest meme coin has a market cap of about $7,000! This means you don’t need big capital to get exposure (and you really shouldn’t). Buying more than 5% of any token’s supply is overly aggressive and could stifle ecosystem growth. If you leave no room for others, you’ll end up dying alone. Leave space—let rising tides lift all boats.
How to Get Started with “Pump.fun” on Worldchain
- Visit world.org and click “get world app” to download it to your phone.
- Set up your World ID without scanning—this creates a Worldchain address within the app.
- Send a small amount of WLD or USDC.e to your Worldcoin address from OPTIMISM (you can do this via Metamask or elsewhere). Alternatively, bridge ETH from the mainnet via across.to, or from Optimism via owlto.finance. If you plan to trade on Poop, I recommend using WLD. I’ve also heard Uniswap Wallet works well as a bridge (though I haven’t tried it myself).
Once funds arrive, you can start downloading and trading tokens on some of World’s mini-apps. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Poop (pooplaunch): Hundreds of new memes launched daily over the past few days. They’re nearing 1,000 total memes, including ones I’m watching like Sam (SAM), Iron Sam (SAMA), and Skynet (SKY).
- Uno (uno wallet): Offers a decentralized exchange (DEX) for leading tokens like Orb (OBR), Oro (ORO), and CORAZON.
- Meme Factory: A meme app currently hosting seven tokens, including TRUMP, HUMAN, MILEI, and JESUS.
Conclusion
Worldchain feels like a parallel economic universe. Crypto OGs hate it because of that eye-scanning orb (even though most have probably already scanned their faces or fingerprints on phones and laptops).
Meanwhile, World is quietly becoming the largest ecosystem the industry has ever seen. As the orb rolls out to more cities, these numbers will grow even faster. The only question is: Can World make its mini-app ecosystem exciting enough? Or will people just log in, cash out their WLD, and disappear? That’s a trillion-dollar question.
Obviously, this article is not investment advice. Don’t invest your grandma’s retirement fund in these memes. You could easily lose 100% of your money.
