A crypto project for Augapfel-Scaning, which is supported by Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, started in the USA in Tools for Humanity in the USA on Wednesday evening. The project, originally known as WorldCoin, which is now being renamed the world, aims to scan the human iris through a ball to prove that people are not AI. In return, the participants receive a cryptocurrency called WLD.
The Americans can now access the eyeball scanning ball, claim cryptocurrency and use the Associated World App. According to a press release, the project is introducing its Iris scanners in Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville and San Francisco for the first time.
When it was started for the first time in July 2023, what the world intentionally avoided Start of his cryptocurrency in the USA due to regulatory concerns. “Worldcoin consists of a digital identity of data protection (ID) and, in which laws allow, a digital currency (WLD) that is simply human,” wrote Alex Blania, CEO of Altman and Tools for Humanity, in a letter published Together with the start of the project. “We hope that where the rules are less clear, e.g. in the USA, steps are taken so that more people can benefit from both.”
Although they were not explicit, the couple probably referred to the procedure against the crypto industry under the former President Joe Biden and Gary Gensler, the former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
World is not the only crypto project that has set up a business in the USA after President Donald Trump accepted an office in January and resigned Gensler. At the beginning of April, the Crypto Exchange Okx announced The American relaunch after reaching an agreement of over 504 million US dollars with the Ministry of Justice in February. And on Monday the crypto loan and financial service provider Nexo said It will return to the USA after leaving the country in 2022.
“Thanks to the vision and leadership of President Donald J. Trump, his administration and family, the United States are again a place where innovation and not suffocated,” said Nexo co -founder Antoni Trenchv in a statement in which the return of his company became known.
Under Trump, whose family has launched a suite of its own crypto companies, the federal government has relaxed its regulatory supervision of the crypto industry. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Sec I emptied their crypto legal dispute units. The Ministry of Justice also has it resolved A unit dedicated to crypto -related studies. And the SEC has dropped a number of cases against crypto companies, including Coin baseCrypto.com, Uniswap, Yuga Labs, Kraken and Ripple.
World of Altman 2019 is one of Crypto’s more ambitious projects. The aim is to check the “personality proof” of humans with the help of proprietary balls and blockchain-based software. Above all, as an AI company, including Altman’s own Openai, World would like to develop a mechanism so that actual people prove their identity online and create a decentralized currency. While the company has encountered hundreds of millions of dollars of risk -loving financing, it has also triggered widespread concerns about the privacy and procedure of governments around the world.
Blania, the CEO of World Develop Tools for Humanity, said that he wanted the world to scan billions of people. So far, the project has scanned only about 12 million people. While a US start opens the project for millions of more users, it remains unclear whether the availability of cryptocurrency encourages Americans to register.
