However, Worldcoin has been in controversies and several industry players have criticized the project. Many believe that the project uses deceptive practices to collect more personal data from users. Several crypto industry proponents have called this project to be against the ethos of decentralization. Responding to Sam Altman’s tweet on Wednesday, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey showed displeasure over the development.

Worldcoin Project Bashed By Crypto Players

Earlier this week, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed concerns about the possible abuses of the system and the privacy risks involved. Also, others have raised concerns over the possibility of exploiting user data.

Popular crypto influencer ZachXBT noted: “Most alarming to me is how the WorldCoin team has boasted about how many users they have. When in reality they have been exploiting people in developing countries”.

On Tuesday, the UK data watchdog also expressed concerns and said that they would be launching an inquiry to investigate the Worldcoin project. “We note the launch of WorldCoin in the UK and will be making further enquiries. Organizations also need to have a clear lawful basis to process personal data. Where they are relying on consent, this needs to be freely given and capable of being withdrawn without detriment,” said a spokesperson of the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Worldcoin’s native crypto WLD swung into a strong rally on the day of the launch. The Worldcoin (WLD) price, however, has retraced since and is currently trading 9% down at $2.32.

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp announced it is officially listing both PEPE and Solana (SOL) in the United States. Indeed, the platform took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce it is listing both the third largest non-stablecoin and meme coin by market cap, respectively. The move is a reversal for SOL, as Bitstamp announced it was ending trading for the crypto in August of 2023. The exchange noted that Solana and six other cryptocurrencies would be “permanently” suspended following a US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) qualification that they were unregistered securities.

Join Our Telegram channel to stay up to date on breaking news coverage Censorious MEV-Boost relays, notably Flashbots, are producing an increasing number of Ethereum blocks. If the MEV organization truly cares about Ethereum, it might think about ceasing operations so that developers can put a long-term fix in place. 51% of blocks are threatened with censorship The MEV censorship issue in Ethereum is getting worse by the hour. MEV Watch reports that 51% of yesterday’s Ethereum blocks were created by so-called “OFAC compliant” MEV-Boost relays, which are relays that have publicly announced their intention to censor future transactions via Tornado Cash or other protocols targeted by the U.S. Treasury. Arbitrage opportunities discovered by rearranging transactions within a block while it is being produced are referred as as MEV, or “Maximum Extractable Value.” For on-chain merchants and validators, Flashbots and other MEV-Boost relays essentially ac...
