A major contributor to the Worldcoin project, Tools for Humanity, recently announced that it had hired four top executives from Apple, X and Google. The company has hired four key employees to streamline its online privacy, security and identity management.

Damien Kieran, a former X employee who was responsible for privacy in his previous role, will now serve as Chief Privacy Officer. Former Google employees will also occupy key positions: Adrian Ludwig has been appointed chief information security officer, and Ajay Patel has been appointed head of World ID. Apple’s Rich Heley will be the Chief Device Officer overseeing the Worldcoin Iris scanning device.

This move confirmed optimism about the Worldcoin project. Against this background, WLD, Worldcoin’s own token, saw a slight increase in price. However, the weekly and monthly charts show a collapse in the token price by 20% and 50%, respectively.

Sam Altman’s AI and Web3 project, Worldcoin, gained popularity immediately after its appearance in the sphere. First of all, the project has achieved success with Orb, a digital human identity solution. The fall in the price of the token is often associated with growing criticism from regulators in different countries of the world.
