'Worldcoin' consists of a digital ID (World ID) and a digital currency (WLD) for privacy protection.

World ID can be received by downloading the protocol compatible wallet application 'World App' and using the biometric authentication device 'Orb'. By using World ID, you can prove that you are the only one online while maintaining a completely private state.

Worldcoin has a mechanism to provide WLD by scanning the iris with Orb, but it has been pointed out that during the test period, iris scanning was performed for poor people without any explanation.

In addition, it is explained that scanning the iris is to generate a hash and use

zero-knowledge proof to grant virtual currency to users, but former NSA staff and the US government was collecting information on the public.
