Blockchain startup Worldcoin, backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has announced the launch of a new Orb device. The device, which scans users' eyeballs to verify their identity, has been controversial due to concerns over privacy and ethics. The new Orb will have a more friendly appearance and will launch in the first half of 2024. Despite criticism, Worldcoin has raised $250 million in funding and claims to have over 190,000 new signups in the last week.

According to insiders, Cyber Fund, led by Lido co-founders Konstantin Lomashuk and Vasiliy Shapovalov, is preparing a blockchain identity verification platform codenamed "Y" to directly compete with Sam Altman's World Network. Unlike World Network, which uses iris scanning for identity verification, the Y project will use users' social media and blockchain activity data, combined with Ethereum Attestation Service, to verify their identity. The solution aims to address the risk of biometric data leakage and minimize the potential for fraud.
