Circulating supply is ~2.91B WLD out of a hard cap of 10B total. 29% of max supply is circulating.
Supply growth is tied to both user adoption and time-based vesting running in parallel. 75% of all WLD is allocated to the World Community (primarily user grants), while 25% went to TFH early investors, development team, and a small TFH reserve. Team and investor tokens unlock linearly over 3–5 years from July 2024, with ~20% unlocking over 3 years and 80% over 5 years, concluding by the end of July 2028. Each new Orb-verified user claims an initial grant (~16 WLD) plus monthly decreasing amounts (~3 WLD month one, declining thereafter)
The first WLD amount claimable (~16 WLD) constitutes roughly ⅓ of the total per-user allocation, with the remaining ⅔ claimable over the following 11 months in decreasing monthly tranches — creating an incentive to join early and engage regularly.
The Orb processes iris scans locally into an irreversible IrisCode, deletes the original images, and sends encrypted data only to the user’s phone — no biometric data is stored by the issuer. Uniqueness is verified via ZKPs (Semaphore protocol), where each app receives only a confirmation of humanness with a unique per-app nullifier preventing cross-app tracking, while the IrisCode itself is fragmented via AMPC across independent parties (Nethermind, UC Berkeley, KAIST) so no single entity holds complete data.
WLD trades primarily as a high-beta AI proxy (60–75% correlated to BTC/ETH), with structural sell pressure from continuous user grant emissions and linear team/investor unlocks through July 2028. Key idiosyncratic drivers are regulatory risk from biometric data probes across multiple jurisdictions, and the tension between network growth (more verifications = demonstrated utility but also more circulating supply).
