Worldcoin is designed to be fully compliant with all laws and regulations governing data collection and data transfer. 

How Worldcoin engages with policymakers and ensures compliance 

Outlining a path to a permissionless protocol owned and governed by all of humanity.

The goal of the Worldcoin project is to ingrain humanness and financial equitability in the global digital infrastructure. Grand challenges in the next decade are global income inequality, governance of existential risks and distinguishing humans from artificial intelligence. Humanity needs a protocol to solve these challenges. Worldcoin aims to be this protocol.

To succeed, Worldcoin must grow beyond its current community, to be built, owned and governed by all the people. You can join the community and help make the protocol robust by:

- joining the Community Grants Program
- reading the Worldcoin Whitepaper
- reviewing the Worldcoin Tech Tree

To become part of the global digital infrastructure, Worldcoin must be as robust, widespread and neutral as the internet itself. Any lesser standard is insufficient to effectively address the grand challenges. This has been a priority from day one, and much has already been achieved. To understand the challenges and opportunities associated with advancing Worldcoin, the goal itself needs to be defined more concretely.

Advancing Decentralization

There is currently no global mechanism for people to digitally verify their humanness and uniqueness. Worldcoin wants to change that.

Why Worldcoin doesn’t want to know who you are, just that you’re unique
