OpenAI May Integrate Iris Verification: WLD Surges 20% in a Single Day, Receiving the Strongest Endorsement?
WLD, the token of Worldcoin, surged over 18% in 24 hours, reaching around $0.65, following a Forbes report that OpenAI is developing a new social networking application that may integrate iris-scanning technology similar to Worldcoin’s Orb for user verification. The move aims to combat bot proliferation and ensure "proof of personhood" in online spaces.
OpenAI, which is reportedly in talks to raise up to $60 billion from investors including NVIDIA, Amazon, and Microsoft, seeks reliable identity authentication to maintain platform integrity amid rising AI-generated fake accounts. Worldcoin’s zero-knowledge proof technology allows verification without exposing personal data, already serving 15 million users.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and co-founder of Worldcoin, has long emphasized equitable distribution of benefits from AI growth. A partnership could embed WLD tokens into OpenAI’s ecosystem, enabling rewards for verified users and creating new revenue streams.
Despite privacy concerns and regulatory scrutiny in regions like Europe, collaboration with OpenAI accelerate Worldcoin’s transition from speculation to real-world utility. Recent upgrades to World ID 4.0 enhance privacy and recoverability, strengthening its case as a foundational digital identity layer.
However, WLD remains significantly below its all-time high, with investors advised to consider market risks.
