In Argentina, grappling with an inflation rate of 288%, Worldcoin's blockchain project has gained significant traction by offering $50 in cryptocurrency in exchange for scanning people's irises. This initiative has attracted over half a million Argentines, more than 1% of the population, to participate. Worldcoin utilizes a network of intermediaries who receive commissions for each iris scan they facilitate. Despite the growing popularity, there is a significant lack of transparency as participants have expressed concerns about the use of their biometric data. Additionally, Buenos Aires has introduced a biometric law targeting Worldcoin's eye scanning practices.
