Worldcoin Expands U.S. Presence with Biometric Iris Scanning Centers
Worldcoin, the digital identity project backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has launched six iris-scanning locations across the United States. The initiative aims to establish a blockchain-based proof of humanity through biometric verification, with potential applications ranging from cryptocurrency access to age-restricted services.
