 <p>Iris-scanning project Worldcoin has reached a new milestone, as its mobile World App has now been downloaded over 4 million times, according to a November 1 blog post from the project’s team. If this number is eventually confirmed by Coingecko, it could place World App in sixth place in Coingecko’s list of most downloaded software wallets.</p>
 <p>The Worldcoin development team, called “Tools for Humanity,” also claimed that it now has over 1 million monthly users, double the number it had six months ago.</p>

 <p>Worldcoin is a project that allows users to prove their humanness by having their irises scanned. Once the user has their iris scanned, they receive a “World ID” which can be used to verify to applications that they are not a bot. Each user who goes through verification receives 25 Worldcoin (WLD) tokens, worth approximately $46.50 currently.</p>
 <p>The project has become popular in developing markets like Argentina, as some participants have seen registering and then selling the coins as a quick way to make a few extra bucks.</p>
 <p>However, Worldcoin has also been criticized for allegedly being a danger to privacy. Critics <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="claim" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/claim.html">claim</a> that it is too centralized and can result in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="users" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/users.html">users</a>’ data being leaked publicly.</p>
 <p>In order to cash out their WLD, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="users" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/users.html">users</a> of Worldcoin need to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="download" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/download.html">download</a> the World App to generate an account. In its November 1 post, the team stated that the app has now been <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="download" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/download.html">download</a>ed over 4 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="million" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/million.html">million</a> times. This would place it above the Solana Phantom wallet but below Bitcoin.com’s Bitcoin wallet on Coingecko’s list of most popular wallets.</p>
 <p>Some of the users who register appear to be sticking around and continuing to use the app after it is downloaded. The app has reached 1 million monthly, 500,000 weekly, and 100,000 daily active users. This is double the number of monthly active users it had six months ago, the post stated.</p>

 <p>Despite these successes, the project continues to be criticized by some privacy-advocates. On October 2, a parliamentary committee in Kenya ordered Worldcoin to stop operating in the country due to privacy concerns. The project compiled with the order, but also issued a statement claiming they had complied with all privacy laws in the country.</p>
