Worldcoin plans to open source data, MicroStrategy preps for BTC halving, and more By Cointelegraph

The launch of the controversial digital ID crypto project, Worldcoin, has stirred up a wave of attention and debate. Led by Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, Worldcoin made headlines with its promise to introduce a futuristic digital identity system based on iris scanning, differentiating humans from artificial intelligence (AI) entities.

The process — proof-of-personhood — generates a unique World ID, with all biometric data stored on a decentralized blockchain. The innovation lies in the zero-knowledge proof mechanism, which enables human verification without divulging the underlying data.
