Worldcoin reaches 10M users, 70M transactions and at least 13 goats bought

Worldcoin’s World App has reached 10 million total users signed up, with an average of 2 million users a day and more than 5 million a month. 

These milestones come less than a year after the service’s launch in June 2023, and according to Tiago Sada, head of product for Worldcoin’s parent company, Tools for Humanity, the project now has more daily users than its total monthly user count in January 2024.

Universal basic income

Worldcoin is a cryptocurrency project aimed at creating a universal basic income. Users register their identity with the company’s “World App” by having their eyes scanned in-person by machines referred to by the company as “Orbs.”

Remco Bloemen, head of blockchain at the Worldcoin Foundation, said in a statement that World App wasn’t intended to be the only solution on the Worldcoin protocol:

Goats

One of the more noteworthy use cases for World App, as of late, has been the viral story of a user in Kenya who expressed their gratitude over being able to purchase a goat with the funds they received from a Worldcoin airdrop.

The crypto community rallied to the person, sending an undisclosed amount of cryptocurrency which they reportedly used to purchase even more goats bringing their total to “13 and counting.”
