#World Network Secures $135M #Token Sale From Leading VCs
#SamAltman's World Network has raised $135M through a private sale of
$WLD tokens to venture capital giants a16z and Bain Capital Crypto.
The funding will support network expansion as the blockchain project recently made its in-app functionalities and
$WLD token available to U.S. users.
$WLD surged 14% on the announcement and has gained 55% in the past month, though it remains 75% below its all-time high.
U.S. users can now access World's primary product—the #Orb device that scans eyeballs to verify identity—and receive
$WLD token airdrops after scanning.
Altman aims to provide 180 million Americans with #Orb access by the end of 2025, representing more than half the country's population.
