Sam Altman’s World Project Launches in US with Visa Card

The human verification crypto project by Sam Altman, known as the World, is now live in the United States and is planning to release a Visa card. This project, supported by the head of OpenAI, is an attempt to differentiate between real people and artificial intelligence accounts in the digital environment.

In the beginning, the WLD platform will be available in six cities in the USA, including Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco; users will be able to check their personhood and get WLD tokens.

— World (@worldcoin) May 1, 2025

It has already attracted many people from all over the world, and currently, there are more than 26 million World App users, with 12 million of them being unique human beings. The launch of the app in the U.S. is significant for the World, as it has raised some issues of data protection. 

However, the project states that it does not retain biometric data, which reduces privacy concerns. The idea is to build a global network of people’s interactions with each other in the online environment.

Apart from human checks, World is revolutionizing digital payments with the launch of a Visa card. This card will enable users to purchase goods and services using WLD tokens and other cryptocurrencies, while merchants will be able to receive fiat money easily.

World is also moving to the online dating market by collaborating with Match Group, the owner of Tinder, to start a trial in Japan. This will assist the users to confirm the authenticity of the individuals they meet on the dating apps in the online world.

World is determined to grow to 1 billion users, and it will revolutionize the way people interact online, providing both the innovation and the security needed.
