Sam Altman-Founded World Network Coin Soars 13% On Launch Of New Pilot Project ‘World ID Credentials’

World Network (CRYPTO: WLD) emerged as one of the biggest cryptocurrency market gainers Thursday after the identity verification project unveiled a pilot feature that would allow users to claim additional tokens.

What happened: WLD, the native cryptocurrency of the newly-branded network, previously called Worldcoin, spiked over 13% to become the second-best-performing cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours.

The coin’s trading volume jumped 145% to around $1.35 billion, boosting the volume-to-market cap ratio to 67%.

The surge in buying pressure came following the launch of a new feature, called “World ID Credentials,” aimed at making the network more accessible.
