The goal of Worldcoin is to become a global cryptocurrency that can be used by everyone on the planet, whether they have a bank account in their own name or not. Although the currency has been around since 2013, it won't gain global acceptance until 2021, when plans to distribute it are revealed. Worldcoin's ambitious plan is to register 1 billion users within the next two years. Its founders plan to achieve this by distributing 30 "Orbs" to operators worldwide. With these devices, operators can scan the irises of millions of people, and in return they will receive Worldcoin as payment. Its founders' ultimate goal is to create a version of universal basic income for the cryptocurrency age and, in the process, bank the as many unbanked as possible.
