Worldcoin, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Berlin, actually launched its flagship product later — World ID, an iris-scanning proof-of-personhood system — on July 24, 2023, a distinct milestone worth separating from the company’s founding date.

Three team members are named: Head of Blockchain Remco Bloemen and founding-team member Saturnin Puget are identity-verified; APAC General Manager Thiri Myint is not. RMA™ status is Unverified across all seven pillars. VBTransparencyScore 12.87 at the 50th percentile, ranked 8th of 20 in Security & Identity.

The $WLD token carries a 24-hour market cap near $1.67 billion. The achievement log runs 2019 through 2025 — founding, Orb hardware rollout, the World ID launch itself, a 10-million-user milestone, and expansion to 35 countries — a real, dated progression, though no independent media was located in this review to corroborate the scale claims directly.
