Amid its ongoing streak of expansions and collaborations, Worldcoin has reportedly rolled back one of its core functions in three markets.
Worldcoin has shut off its offline orb verification function for users in three markets: India, Brazil, and France, a report by Moneycontrol on Dec. 21 says.
A five-pound chromatic helmet that scans individuals’ eyeballs to verify their identities, the Orb was conceived by Worldcoin as a tool for onboarding the inhabitants of those regions where traditional ID is not always available.
The company stimulated the offline onboarding process by offering rewards in USDC for local Orb operators. Starting in November, Worldcoin began paying the rewards in its native token, WLD.
