I'm also learning about it, so far I have understood that the Worldcoin token is a cryptocurrency that is used to power the Worldcoin network. The token is used to pay for transactions and to secure the network.

It is a cryptocurrency project that aims to distribute cryptocurrency to everyone on Earth by using a portable coin reader that scans people's irises.

What is intriguing is that one of the two founders of Worldcoin, Sam Altman, is the current C.E.O of OpenAI

Today I came across its Whitepaper which I'm yet to explore, would be a good place to get the fine details.

What is this Worldcoin tokens (WLD)?

Are Issues of privacy, data protection taken into account as Kenyans flock to be registered? 

I am lost on what the objective is and the benefits
