Crypto investigator ZachXBT criticized World, a Sam Altman-linked digital identity project, alleging it collected biometric data from residents of lower-income countries by giving away small amounts of WLD tokens. He also criticized WLD as a low-float token and said verified World accounts have appeared on black markets. In addition, ZachXBT alleged that WLD supply is inflating at an unsustainable pace while insiders regularly conduct OTC sales, adding to concerns about the project’s token structure, distribution model, and identity verification practices.
