Worldcoin Aims to Use Technology is Reshaping Identity Verification
Altman’s ambitious endeavor at Worldcoin aims to use technology to reshape identity verification. By fusing blockchain technology with iris scanning technology, Worldcoin seeks to provide people with distinct digital identities while tackling significant issues related to online identity verification.
But in August of last year, the Worldcoin was suspended in Kenya due to concerns raised by the authorities about data privacy and safety.

The nation’s interior cabinet secretary, Kithure Kindiki, announced the project’s suspension and said that investigations had been opened to ascertain the security and privacy of the data being collected as well as the company’s intended use of it.
On the other hand, Worldcoin said that it is still dedicated to offering a decentralized, inclusive, and privacy-preserving on-ramp to the global digital economy and that it is eager to resume operations in Kenya in close collaboration with regional regulators and other stakeholders.
