Deep Tide TechFlow News, Tools for Humanity CEO Alex Blania stated at the 2024 South Korea Blockchain Week event that Worldcoin's current focus is on the large-scale distribution of iris scanning '$Orb' devices to expand the project's scale and enhance its utility. Blania emphasized that similar to networks like PayPal and Facebook, they can only be effective when reaching a certain scale. Worldcoin currently has over 6.50 million verified World IDs in more than 160 countries worldwide.
Blania revealed that the project will announce 'exciting updates' for the next generation $Orb devices in the coming weeks, primarily involving changes in operational modes.
