Recently, a user shared his unpleasant experience participating in the Worldcoin iris scanning verification in Taipei, raising doubts about the project. The user stated that he went to Taipei for the iris scan on August 3, and the process seemed to go smoothly. However, surprisingly, when he attempted to claim the first batch of WLD tokens the next day, he found that his account had been restricted, preventing him from receiving the airdrop rewards.
What is even more frustrating is that the Worldcoin project team did not inform users of which specific regulations were violated, resulting in account restrictions. This lack of transparency has sparked strong dissatisfaction among users, who believe this may be a form of covert iris data collection.
This event has sparked a broader discussion about how blockchain projects can balance the need for user privacy protection with identity verification requirements. Many people have begun to question whether projects like Worldcoin can truly achieve their claimed goal of decentralized identity verification while protecting user rights.
As complaints like this increase, Worldcoin may need to face more questions regarding its operational transparency and user rights protection. This also serves as a wake-up call for other blockchain projects, reminding them not to overlook the importance of user experience and trust building while promoting innovative technologies.
