This Wednesday, the price of the World token WLD skyrocketed more than 27%, driven by a Forbes report linking the project to OpenAI’s broader efforts to combat bots. Sources close to the matter claim that Sam Altman seeks to develop a “biometric social network” to verify real human identity amidst the rise of AI-generated accounts, considering the use of the “World Orb” device for this purpose.
This rally outperformed most major cryptocurrencies, fueled by interest in “Proof of Personhood” technology in an environment increasingly saturated with deepfakes. While there is currently no confirmed formal collaboration between OpenAI and World Network, the market reacted with optimism to the potential integration of decentralized identity systems into mass-market platforms.
The market will closely monitor the project’s regulatory evolution, as it has already faced suspensions in Kenya and inquiries in the United Kingdom. The key to the sustainability of this rally will depend on how the company manages personal data privacy while attempting to consolidate its vision of a secure and global digital identity.
