According to TECHCRUNCH, WORLDCOIN will launch a new version of ORB to enhance the scanning experience. The new ORB has been open for testing in events held in San Francisco and other locations. In the past seven days, over 190,000 new accounts have been created, with approximately 3.13 million people registering for WORLDCOIN. ALEX BLANIA, the CEO and co-founder of TOOLS FOR HUMANITY, shared that the next ORB will be released in the first half of this year. It will have alternative colors and a "friendlier" overall appearance, aiming for a more subtle design similar to Apple products.
