Sam Altman的WorldCoin项目在美国正式推出，向创建世界ID的用户提供$ WLD代币

WorldCoin的球体将用于六个发射城市以及Razer商店的物理“世界空间”位置的虹膜扫描。

Sam Altman's digital identity and cryptocurrency initiative, known as Worldcoin, has officially launched in six major U.S. cities.

山姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）的数字身份和加密货币倡议（称为WorldCoin）已在美国六个主要城市正式启动。

The project, which uses spherical biometric devices called "Orbs" to scan users' irises and issue unique digital IDs, is now operating in Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco.

该项目使用称为“ Orb”的球形生物识别设备来扫描用户的虹膜并发布独特的数字ID，现在在亚特兰大，奥斯汀，洛杉矶，迈阿密，纳什维尔和旧金山运行。

At these locations, new users who complete an iris scan will receive 16 WLD tokens as an onboarding incentive. Those who previously downloaded and registered with the World App in the U.S. will receive a larger "pioneer grant" of 150 WLD tokens dropped into their wallet.

在这些位置，完成IRIS扫描的新用户将获得16个WLD令牌作为入职激励措施。那些以前在美国下载并在世界应用程序上注册的人将获得150个WLD代币的更大的“先驱赠款”，这些代币落入了他们的钱包中。

World aims to deploy 7,500 Orbs across the United States by the end of 2025. To support this expansion, the company is constructing a new manufacturing facility in Richardson, Texas, to produce Orbs domestically and reduce supply chain dependencies.

世界的目标是到2025年底在美国各地部署7,500个球体。为了支持这一扩展，该公司正在德克萨斯州的理查森建造一个新的制造工厂，以在国内生产球体并减少供应链依赖性。

Several partnerships are also in place to expand the utility of World ID. A partnership with Visa will see a debit card released later this year that converts WLD tokens to fiat currency at checkout points. In the dating space, a partnership with Match Group will see age verification systems piloted on apps like Tinder.

还建立了几种伙伴关系，以扩大世界ID的实用性。与Visa的合作伙伴关系将在今年晚些时候发布一张借记卡，该卡在结帐点将WLD代币转换为法定货币。在约会空间中，与Match Group的合作伙伴关系将看到在Tinder等应用程序上试行的年龄验证系统。

World ID will be added as an account verification option, potentially reducing fake profiles and improving safety. Gaming company Razer has also partnered with World to integrate World ID for player identity verification and account security.

World ID将作为帐户验证选项添加，可能会减少伪造的配置文件并提高安全性。游戏公司Razer还与World合作，将世界ID集成以供玩家身份验证和帐户安全。

The company's flagship cryptocurrency, WLD, is currently available for trading on major exchanges such as Coinbase, Binance, and Huobi. It is a token used for governance, staking, and consumption in the Worldcoin economy.

该公司的旗舰加密货币WLD目前可在Coinbase，Binance和Huobi等主要交易所进行交易。它是一种用于治理，积累和消费世界局经济的代币。

The World App has also undergone major enhancements. Users can now access crypto-backed loans through Morpho, engage in decentralized prediction markets powered by Kalshi, and utilize the newly integrated Visa debit card.

世界应用程序还进行了重大增强。现在，用户可以通过Morpho访问加密货币支持的贷款，参与由Kalshi提供支持的分散的预测市场，并利用新集成的Visa借记卡。

The company announced these developments at a press event in San Francisco called "At Last," where Sam Altman, chairman of Tools for Humanity, appeared alongside CEO Alex Blania.

该公司在旧金山的一项新闻活动中宣布了这些发展，称为“终于”，人类工具董事长Sam Altman与首席执行官Alex Blania一起出现。

World's Orbs will be available for iris scans at physical "World Space" locations in the six launch cities, as well as in Razer stores. The company has updated the Orb's physical design and teased a smaller "orb mini" that resembles a smartphone.

在六个发射城市以及Razer商店中的物理“世界空间”位置，将用于世界上的虹膜扫描。该公司已更新了球体的物理设计，并取笑了类似于智能手机的较小的“ Orb Mini”。

To date, World's Orbs have verified 12 million humans from over 100 countries on its Ethereum-based World Chain. This makes it one of the largest crypto projects globally, despite facing regulatory challenges and probes in several countries.

迄今为止，世界上的球体已经通过以太坊的世界连锁店验证了来自100多个国家的1200万人。尽管在几个国家面临监管挑战和调查，但这使其成为全球最大的加密项目之一。

The timing of the U.S. launch appears strategic. Adrian Ludwig, chief architect at Tools for Humanity, noted that regulatory changes influenced their decision to enter the U.S. market now.

美国发射的时机似乎是战略性的。人类工具工具的首席建筑师阿德里安·路德维希（Adrian Ludwig）指出，监管变化影响了他们现在进入美国市场的决定。

Trump administration officials have taken a more favorable stance toward cryptocurrencies compared to the previous administration, opening up opportunities for projects like Worldcoin.

与上届政府相比，特朗普政府官员对加密货币采取了更加有利的立场，为诸如WorldCoin之类的项目打开了机会。

However, despite its growth, World continues to face criticism over its use of sensitive biometric data. Critics argue that even anonymized biometric information could be vulnerable to misuse or breaches.

但是，尽管它增长了，但世界仍在对使用敏感生物识别数据的使用面临批评。批评家认为，即使是匿名的生物识别信息也可能容易滥用或违规。

Several countries, including Spain, Portugal, Hong Kong, South Korea, and France, have blocked, probed, or fined the project over security and privacy concerns.

包括西班牙，葡萄牙，香港，韩国和法国在内的几个国家都在安全和隐私问题上封锁，调查或罚款该项目。

In response, World maintains that it does not store raw biometric data and has implemented advanced cryptographic protections to secure users' personal identifiers. Ludwig emphasized that all biometric data collected is anonymous.

作为回应，世界坚持认为，它不存储原始的生物识别数据，并且已经实施了高级加密保护措施来保护用户的个人标识符。路德维希强调，收集的所有生物识别数据都是匿名的。

Regulatory challenges remain a hurdle, especially in the United States. WLD tokens are currently restricted in New York State due to unresolved legal and compliance issues.

监管挑战仍然是一个障碍，尤其是在美国。由于未解决的法律和合规性问题，纽约州目前在纽约州受到限制。

Altman, who is also CEO of OpenAI, sees World as a solution to problems created by advanced AI. As AI becomes better at mimicking human interaction, tools to verify human identity become more crucial.

Altman也是OpenAI的首席执行官，他将世界视为解决高级AI造成的问题的解决方案。随着AI在模仿人类互动方面变得更好，验证人类身份的工具变得更加关键。

"It's a way to make sure humans remained central and special in a world where the internet had a lot of AI-driven content," Altman said at the launch event.

Altman在发布会上说：“这是确保人类在互联网具有很多AI驱动内容的世界中保持中心和特别的方式。”

The company has raised about $200 million from venture capitalists including Andreessen Horowitz and Khosla Ventures, as well as from LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

该公司已从包括Andreessen Horowitz和Khosla Ventures，以及LinkedIn联合创始人Reid Hoffman和FTX创始人Sam Bankman-Fried中筹集了约2亿美元。

Ludwig estimates that in "18 months or so we will begin to see the costs of operating the network begin to be offset by the fees that are generated by the network."

路德维希（Ludwig）估计，“在18个月左右的时间里，我们将开始看到运营网络的成本开始被网络产生的费用所抵消。”

Until then, World remains unprofitable as it builds out its infrastructure and user base.

在此之前，世界仍然无利可图，因为它建立了其基础架构和用户群。
