Support from Tools for Humanity & The Worldcoin Foundation

Worldcoin’s creator, Tools for Humanity, remains committed to supporting the crypto project by building new tools and supporting its protocol, in addition to the continued operation of the World App. 

It is backed up by the Worldcoin Foundation, a non-profit organisation established to support the growing Worldcoin community until it becomes self-sufficient. 

Support includes overseeing grants programmes, open-sourcing new project technologies and establishing ways for users to participate in protocol governance. 

Worldcoin: Partnering with leading tech players?

However, like many emerging crypto projects, Worldcoin has faced difficulty around data compliance and regulatory adherence, at a time when Co-founder Altman was embroiled in well-documented disputes with his OpenAI workforce, leaving the company before returning once again.

The waters have settled somewhat since then, though, and now reports are swirling that Worldcoin is set for major new partnerships with OpenAI and Paypal. 

This comes as Tools for Humanity hints that it is attempting further collaboration with major tech and finance companies as part of its upcoming plans. 

Speaking on a potential partnership with OpenAI, Blania says: “There are some natural things in how we might and will work together, but it’s nothing that we’re ready to announce yet.”

Given the Altman connection, a collaboration between Worldcoin and OpenAI is certainly not out of the question, and it wouldn’t be the first time Worldcoin has worked with another firm either after it partnered with cybersecurity firm Okta last year to build a sign-in Worldcoin authentication service.

It’s a waiting game for now, though, but don’t be surprised if Altman’s presence in the crypto landscape – in partnership with OpenAI – reaches new heights in the near future.
