Amid the growing threat of artificial intelligence and digital fake accounts, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s crypto project “The World” is now live in the USA as well. This project aims to differentiate between humans and AI bots in the digital space. Participants taking part in this project will be given WLD Tokens as a reward. Which will be deposited in the World Wallet of the World App. Sam Altman has signed an agreement with Visa for transactions from the World Wallet.
Starting in 6 US cities, WLD Token will be available
The World Project has been started in six major cities of the USA: Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco. In these cities, users can obtain WLD Token by proving their “Personhood,” i.e., being a real human being. WLD Token will be used not only for digital identity but also for crypto transactions in the future.
Currently, World App has more than 26 million users worldwide. The project is expected to gain a large number of users with its launch in the USA, but along with this, questions related to data privacy have also arisen.
World Project said biometric data will not be stored
Amid concerns over data security, World Project has clarified that it does not store biometric data of users. Instead, Zero-knowledge Proofs Technology is being used for identity verification, which ensures identity but does not compromise on privacy. This idea aims to create an online system where interactions take place only between real humans.
Preparations for partnership with Crypto Visa Card and Tinder
World Project is not limited to just Digital Identification. Now it is also entering the world of digital payment. Soon a Crypto Visa Card will be launched through which users will be able to make payments with WLD Token and other cryptocurrencies. At the same time, merchants will get money directly in fiat currency, so they will not have the hassle of valuation or exchange of crypto.
Apart from this, the World is also entering the dating app sector. It has started a pilot project in Japan in collaboration with Tinder’s parent company, Match Group, to ensure the real identity of users in online dating.
Sam Altman’s World Project is not just a crypto project, but it is a tool to develop identity, security and trust in the online world. Its launch in the USA is also important for this project because it will put an end to questions related to data privacy. If it is successful, then in the coming times The World Project will make an important contribution in making the digital world safe.
