The Worldcoin project welcomed a series of significant developments at the beginning of 2025. The user base achieved a notable rise, with the number of global participants surpassing 20 million, of which 9.5 million are verified users. This growth is primarily attributed to the project's in-depth promotion in developing countries and regions.

In terms of technology, Worldcoin launched the World Chain mainnet based on the OP Stack Layer 2 network at the end of 2024. Following this, a series of technical upgrades have come, including ORB 2.0, World ID 3.0, and World App 3.0. ORB 2.0 is expected to debut in spring 2025, reducing components by 30% while achieving lower costs and higher efficiency. World ID 3.0 introduces credential features and deep facial recognition technology to enhance the security and convenience of identity verification. World App 3.0 opens the ecosystem through the Mini App feature, allowing third-party applications to run on its platform.
In terms of the token ecosystem, WLD has successfully landed on multiple well-known trading platforms. As of mid-October 2024, 15 million users have completed or are in the process of migrating to World Chain, and these users have the opportunity to receive WLD token airdrops.
Worldcoin's globalization strategy is also progressing steadily. The World App has covered more than 80 countries, with a future goal of expanding to 120 countries. At the same time, Worldcoin is deploying Orb devices in several major cities around the world to provide users with convenient identity verification services.
As the user base expands and technology continues to innovate, Worldcoin is shaping the future of the Web3 space. The development of the project not only reflects the potential of decentralized identity verification but also showcases the practical application prospects of blockchain technology on a global scale. However, in the face of such rapid development, Worldcoin still needs to continue to focus on challenges such as privacy protection and regulatory compliance to ensure the long-term sustainability of the project.
