導航複雜的監管障礙和快速擴張

WorldCoin是雄心勃勃的加密貨幣項目，旨在通過IRIS掃描建立全球身份驗證系統

Worldcoin, the cryptocurrency project that is setting out to create a global identity verification system through iris scans, is continuing to face a mixed bag of fortunes as it navigates a complex landscape of regulatory hurdles and rapid expansion.

WorldCoin是一個加密貨幣項目，目的是通過IRIS掃描來創建全球身份驗證系統，它繼續面對一袋命運，因為它導航了一個複雜的監管障礙和快速擴張的景觀。

Earlier this week, Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital announced the suspension of Worldcoin's operating permit due to alleged violations of electronic system operation regulations.

本週早些時候，印度尼西亞的傳播和數字部宣布，由於涉嫌違反了電子系統運營法規，因此暫停了WorldCoin的運營許可證。

The ministry stated that one of Worldcoin's local operators was operating without a valid permit, while the enterprise permit was registered to a different legal entity, leading to the suspension of the project's activities. This move is framed as a "preventive step to mitigate potential risks to the public," with local operators being summoned to provide further clarification.

該部指出，WorldCoin的一位本地運營商正在沒有有效許可證的情況下運行，而企業許可證則註冊給了另一個法人實體，導致該項目的活動中止。此舉被構成“減輕公眾潛在風險的預防步驟”，當地運營商被召集以提供進一步的澄清。

A spokesperson for primary developer Tools for Humanity (TFH) confirmed to The Block that the project has "voluntarily paused" its proof of human verification services in Indonesia and is actively seeking clarification on the licensing terms. They expressed hope for continued constructive dialogue with Indonesian government ministries to address any misunderstandings.

主要開發人員人類工具（TFH）的發言人向該區域證實，該項目已“自願暫停”其在印度尼西亞的人類驗證服務證明，並正在積極尋求澄清許可條款。他們對與印尼政府部委繼續進行建設性對話表示希望，以解決任何誤解。

This setback in Southeast Asia follows a pattern of legal and regulatory scrutiny that Worldcoin has faced globally.

東南亞的這種挫折遵循了世界幣在全球範圍內面臨的法律和監管審查模式。

Earlier this year, South Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission levied a fine on the project following user complaints concerning biometric data collection practices. Meanwhile, Singaporean authorities are investigating Worldcoin for data collection practices and potential financial misconduct, with a senior official cautioning the public against trading their World ID wallets due to potential misuse. Kenya had also initially suspended Worldcoin's operations in 2023 over privacy concerns, although the investigation concluded without penalties, contingent on adherence to local regulations.

今年早些時候，在用戶投訴有關生物識別數據收集實踐的用戶投訴之後，韓國的個人信息保護委員會對該項目處以罰款。同時，新加坡當局正在調查WorldCoin，以進行數據收集實踐和潛在的財務不當行為，高級官員警告公眾由於潛在的濫用而不要交易其世界ID錢包。肯尼亞最初還因隱私問題而在2023年暫停了WorldCoin的行動，儘管調查得出的沒有處罰，這取決於遵守當地法規。

U.S. Expansion

美國擴張

Despite these challenges, Worldcoin is making significant strides in other parts of the world. The project announced on April 30 the official launch of its activities in six major U.S. cities: Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco.

儘管面臨這些挑戰，但WorldCoin仍在世界其他地區取得了長足的進步。該項目於4月30日宣布，其在美國六個主要城市的正式啟動：亞特蘭大，奧斯汀，洛杉磯，邁阿密，納什維爾和舊金山。

This expansion will allow U.S. residents to receive WLD tokens in exchange for verifying their identity using Worldcoin's Orb device, which scans irises to establish proof-of-humanity. Worldcoin said it has over 26 million registered accounts globally, with approximately 12 million users having completed iris scans.

這種擴展將使我們的居民獲得WLD令牌，以換取使用WorldCoin的ORB設備驗證其身份，該設備掃描了虹膜以建立人類證明。 WorldCoin表示，它在全球範圍內已有超過2600萬個註冊帳戶，大約有1200萬用戶完成了IRIS掃描。

Worldcoin has also secured several partnerships that could increase the utility and adoption of its World ID and WLD token. A collaboration with Visa will see the development of a payment card linked to users' World App wallets, potentially bridging the gap between cryptocurrency and everyday transactions. An integration with Stripe will enable users to make payments on numerous online platforms using their digital assets. Even Match Group, the parent company of popular dating apps like Tinder and Hinge, intends to leverage World ID to verify users and combat bot activity on their platforms.

WorldCoin還建立了多個合作夥伴關係，可以增加其世界ID和WLD代幣的效用和採用。與Visa的合作將看到與用戶世界應用程序錢包相關的支付卡的開發，可能會彌合加密貨幣與日常交易之間的差距。與條紋的集成將使用戶能夠使用其數字資產在眾多在線平台上付款。即使是Match Group，Tinder和Hinge等流行約會應用程序的母公司也打算利用世界ID來驗證用戶並在其平台上打擊機器人活動。

These developments highlight a fundamental tension surrounding Worldcoin. While its technology offers a novel approach to proving humanness in an increasingly digital world, addressing concerns about privacy, data security, and regulatory compliance remains paramount.

這些事態發展凸顯了圍繞世界幣的根本張力。儘管它的技術提供了一種新穎的方法來證明人類在越來越多的數字世界中，但解決了對隱私，數據安全和監管合規性的擔憂仍然至關重要。

Additionally, criticisms from certain parts of the crypto space exist due to the project's reliance on biometric data collection and centralized hardware, which contrasts with the cypherpunk ethos of early cryptocurrency movements that emphasized anonymity and minimal trust.

此外，由於該項目依賴生物識別數據收集和集中硬件，因此存在來自加密貨幣空間某些地區的批評，這與早期加密貨幣運動的Cypherpunk精神形成了鮮明的對比，該精神強調了匿名性和最少的信任。

The question remains whether mainstream users, beyond the crypto-native community, will be willing to undergo iris scans in exchange for potential financial rewards or enhanced access to popular online services. Worldcoin's strategy of incentivizing onboarding through token rewards and building a comprehensive "super app" ecosystem could prove compelling if the perceived benefits outweigh the privacy concerns for a significant user base.

問題仍然是，超越加密本地社區以外的主流用戶是否願意進行虹膜掃描，以換取潛在的財務獎勵或增強對流行在線服務的訪問。 WorldCoin通過代幣獎勵激勵入職和建立全面的“超級應用”生態系統的策略，如果感知到的福利超過了重要用戶群的隱私問題，則可以證明令人信服。
