LIVE NOW - Can Worldcoin Fix The Internet's 99% Bot Problem?

The bots are winning. AI-generated spam, fake profiles, and deepfakes are turning the internet into a digital hall of mirrors. But what if there were a way to prove you're human, without sacrificing privacy?

@worldcoin Co-Founder @alexblania returns to Bankless to share a bold vision for addressing the online identity crisis. From 14 million users already “Orbed” to new integrations with dating apps and $DeFi protocols, Worldcoin is evolving rapidly and facing significant questions. What happens when governments come knocking? And why does Alex think we’re heading toward internet-native citizenship?

Whether you're curious about AI-proof identity or skeptical of eyeball scanning orbs, this conversation cuts deep.
