Pioneer on the proof of humanity market, the company Tools for Humanity seeks to increase more and more the database of its Worldcoin project. It is in this one condition, in fact, that it will be possible to effectively decide between human and machines in the digital world. By proposing to give priority to users verified by World ID in transactions on Worldchain, the company of Sam Altman wants to encourage even more people to go through the famous Orb and the Iris scan.
In short
- Verified users will benefit from priority treatment of their transactions on WorldChain.
- Controversies around the project do not weaken.
The transactions of the verified users will have priority on WorldChain
With his Worldcoin project, Sam Altman wants to be at the center of one of the major digital issues. The rise of artificial bots and intelligences, an area in which Sam Altman is also active with Openai, gradually transforms digital into a space shared between humans and machines. Worldcoin is therefore intended to allow everyone to prove their humanity thanks to the Iris scan. In order to encourage more and more users to pass this scan, Worldcoin gives WLD rewards to those who check their humanity.
For the moment, World ID has 13 million users and Its technology has already been used 100 million times by third -party applications.
Tools for Humanity, the company at the origin of the project, wants to move up a gear. In order to encourage teams to build applications using Worldcoin, a stock market of $ 1 million in WLD is made available to new projects. In addition, the PBH system will be used on World Chain to attract even more users. The PBH system or “Priority BlockSpace for Humans” gives priority to verified users on the World Chain network. The purpose of this new feature is to make the network more efficient and fair, so that humans can continue to use it serenely, regardless of the number of BOTS and AI agents.
We firmly believe that humans and AI can coexist harmoniously, and this development reflects our commitment to create convivial systems that benefit humanity while drawing the best party from advanced technologies.

Currently in testnet, PhB is now part of the Rollup Boost, an OP Stack module, which will then allow other Layers 2 to use it.
Controversies always persistent around the WorldCoin project
Since its launch, the WorldCoin project has aroused concerns that make its development difficult in many countries. Indeed, even if the IRIS scan is done on the basis of volunteering, the company thus collects a large amount of biometric data. In addition, rewarding users with WLD tokens, the company strongly encourages citizens to scan their iris.
Among the countries most opposed to Tools for Humanity, Kenya is the most virulent. The Supreme Court of this country indeed requires WorldCoin to erase all the biometric data from its citizens collected by the company. It considers that the permanent storage of this data violates the protection of the privacy of users.
Brazil has not taken such radical measures, but the national data protection authority of this country has prohibited to give cryptocurrency awards in exchange for biometric data. For the moment, three company centers are still present in São Paulo.
In Europe, only Germany has currently taken measures by demanding the deletion of data, but France, Spain and Portugal have started surveys on the procedures for collecting and storing data by the company.
The development of Worldcoin is symbolic of one of the major digital issues. It is indeed difficult to offer a tool that makes it possible to check the humanity of users without having to collect private data from users. The success of the project will therefore depend on its ability to find a balance that reassures regulators of different countries.
