According to various social media reports, Reddit is reportedly discussing the integration of Sam Altman's Worldcoin technology to authenticate users through biometric recognition.
While neither side has confirmed this, the rumor suggests that Reddit might utilize iris scanning devices to prevent fake accounts and bots.
If accurate, this could be a key step in connecting decentralized identity with mainstream social media platforms.
Although neither Reddit nor Tools for Humanity have made official statements, the speculative nature of this report has drawn significant attention from the cryptocurrency community.
Some users view this as a response to growing concerns about generative AI and online misinformation.
Meanwhile, the Worldcoin WLD token price showed signs of recovery after the rumor spread.
The WLD chart reflects a sharp rebound after dropping below $0.91, suggesting that traders may be positioning themselves in anticipation of a price breakthrough if the news is confirmed.
Still unverified, the partnership remains speculative. Even limited pilot or authentication tests could hint at broader adoption of the World ID infrastructure on social media.
This story is ongoing. More details are expected as the situation unfolds.
