May 7 (Cointime) - Worldcoin, an iris biometric cryptocurrency project backed by VC Andreessen Horowitz and co-founded by OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman, is taking its flagship product, the Worldcoin Orb, on a global tour. 

The Worldcoin Orb is a device that simplifies the process of creating a Worldcoin ID, a crucial component of the Worldcoin protocol. The tour aims to promote the adoption of Worldcoin and educate people about the protocol.  The tour started in April 2023 in Tokyo and will continue until July. The Worldcoin Orb will be available for a limited time in ten cities across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, including Berlin, Dubai, London, Mexico City, Miami, New York City, San Francisco, Seoul, and Tokyo.

Launched in October 2021, Worldcoin's three-part mission is to create a global ID, a global currency, and an app that enables payment, purchases, and transfers using its own token, as well as other digital assets and traditional currencies.

The Worldcoin Community Specialist Application is now open.
