TechFlow news — Tools for Humanity CEO Alex Blania said at the 2024 Korea Blockchain Week that Worldcoin's current focus is on large-scale distribution of its iris-scanning "Orb" devices to scale up the project and enhance its utility. Blania emphasized that, like networks such as PayPal and Facebook, the system only becomes effective once it reaches a certain scale. Worldcoin currently has over 6.5 million verified World IDs across more than 160 countries globally.
Blania revealed that the project will announce "exciting updates" about the next-generation Orb device in the coming weeks, primarily involving changes to its operational model.
In addition, Worldcoin is exploring potential collaborations with South Korea’s gaming industry and preparing to launch its own Layer-2 network, World Chain.
