世界币更名为世界网络，加倍努力扫描每个人的虹膜

Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, is ramping up efforts to scan every human's iris using its "orb" devices.

Worldcoin 是由 OpenAI 首席执行官 Sam Altman 创立的加密货币项目，它正在加大力度使用其“orb”设备扫描每个人的虹膜。

Worldcoin introduced a new version of its orb iris-scanning device at an event in San Francisco on Thursday, which it said features 5G connectivity and enhanced privacy and security features.

Worldcoin 周四在旧金山举行的一次活动中推出了新版本的 orb 虹膜扫描设备，据称该设备具有 5G 连接以及增强的隐私和安全功能。

It also unveiled a slew of new ways to make it easier to access the orb, such as purpose-built retail locations and a partnership with Latin American delivery service Rappi to bring orbs to people.

它还推出了一系列让人们更容易获得球体的新方法，例如专门建造的零售店以及与拉丁美洲送货服务 Rappi 的合作，将球体带给人们。

To get a World ID, a customer signs up to do an in-person iris scan using World Network's "orb," a silver ball approximately the size of a bowling ball.

为了获得 World ID，客户需要注册并使用 World Network 的“球体”（一个保龄球大小的银球）进行现场虹膜扫描。

Once the orb's iris scan verifies the person is a real human, it creates a World ID. As an enticement, those who sign up in certain countries receive a cryptocurrency token called WLD.

一旦球体的虹膜扫描验证该人是真人，它就会创建一个世界 ID。作为一种诱惑，在某些国家/地区注册的用户会收到一种名为 WLD 的加密货币代币。

The company behind World Network is San Francisco and Erlangen, Germany-based Tools for Humanity. Since the project launched in July 2023, over 6.9 million people have signed up to have their irises scanned, according to the company.

World Network 背后的公司是位于旧金山和埃尔兰根、德国的 Tools for Humanity。据该公司称，自 2023 年 7 月该项目启动以来，已有超过 690 万人报名接受虹膜扫描。

Privacy campaigners have criticized the project over the collection, storage and use of personal data.

Earlier this year, Spain and Portugal issued temporary bans, and Argentina and Britain said they would examine World Network.

今年早些时候，西班牙和葡萄牙发布了临时禁令，阿根廷和英国表示将审查世界网络。
