Preparations for launching Worldcoin blockchain
Worldcoin launched its own gas-free crypto wallet for verified humans on May 8, 2023. Tiago Sada, a Worldcoin team member, talking to a popular media outlet said that the wallet was launched so “there is an alternative wallet that is focused just on simplicity.”
Currently, Worldcoin is preparing to launch its blockchain protocol. The team plans to launch the blockchain within the next six weeks.
Besides having a blockchain, Worldcoin also aims at creating a collectively owned and globally distributed cryptocurrency. According to a source familiar with the project, the proposed $100 million funding will be sourced from a mix of new and existing investors.
When Worldcoin was launched, the startup conducted a Series A funding round led by a16z among other investors that included Digital Currency Group, Coinbase Ventures, former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.
