Worldcoin Endeavors to Attract More Crypto Clients Amid a Lack of Interest
Although the launch of the project was witnessed following 2M pre-signups, the interest appears to have diminished following the actual release thereof. On the initial day, clients were seemingly keen. That was the reason that the respective day witnessed the highest signup rates in Hong Kong. In addition to this, the city provided 3 locations named Orbs for the consumers to complete the scanning of their irises.
The project has provided each of the respective clients with a “world ID.” As per a report released by South China Morning Post, each of the 3 designated locations present within Hong Kong witnessed nearly two hundred signups on the initial day. This was the highest number across the twenty nations where the launch took place.
Heatherm Huang, an Orb operator in Hong Kong, stated that the cumulative sign-ups within the city constituted approximately half of the whole Worldcoin signups in the entirety of the new markets. In line with the statistics provided by the Orb operator, Hong Kong is credited for almost 600 signups.
