?? Worldcoin Is Finally Here!
Gm, this is doodhwala, the crypto newsletter that’s going to be King of the Pirates someday! ??
Here’s what we got for you today—
?? Worldcoin is here!
Guess what doodhs!??
There has never been a better time than now to be a?global citizen! ??
No, we’re not asking you to donate money for a cause.
Rather—
We’re here to talk about? World . ??
And particularly…how it can literally take over the?Global financial system!???
1?? WTF is Worldcoin?
Alright, start sipping your doodh, coz things are about to head???o?u?t?t?a? ??→?into this world.??
The Worldcoin is a way of?transacting?in the new world.??
How does one begin?
Step 1:?Buy a?Giant Orb?that scans your iris.
Step 2:?Sell your data to a giant corporation.
Step 3:?Generate a World ID that confirms you’re a human.
Step 4:?Transfer value the same way you’ve sent money for tens of years.?Except faster.
The World ID is the most important thing to note here, as it seems to add a social verification to a crypto project. ??
This goes along with the?World App?that they launched a few months ago. ??
We wrote about it?here.
Here's the official unveiling of Worldcoin. ??
2?? A.I.????Crypto soon?
Here comes the ???-cy part.
You see Worldcoin is founded by Sam Altman, who also happens to be the founder of?ChatGPT?and? OpenAI . ??
If you understand why the frick he built Worldcoin, you'll be shocked fo sho. ??
?? He believes that there will be a?dystopian future?where we're unable to distinguish between humans and A.I.
?? Having something like Worldcoin helps with that distinction since you have to?verify?you're a human through the orb. (Iris scanner)
?? Worldcoin can also reshape the?world economy?because it adds social proof to the buyers.
Bruh.
Doodhwala?thought this would be another ??-coin we could ape into.
Why did we end up having an?existential crisis????
3?? Worldcoin = Pumpeeeeeeet!
Doesn't matter if Worldcoin goes mainstream or not.
Coz the token right now is ????
Not just that, the total number of wallets created on the World app has crossed?840k+ in just a couple of months.??
According to a report, the project currently —
?? Has?2 million?Beta users.
?? Planning to scale the “orbing” operations to?35 cities in 20 countries.
?? Plans to become a “Digital Passport” of the future.
It doesn't really matter how ??-scared we are of the project.
Because if this project gets to have actual utility—?We're fked. ??**
For now tho, look at that chart. ???
Doodhwala's take: Verify your social identity by providing your eye-level data to a giant corporation that will have control of everything you do.
What. Could. Go. Wrong. ??
???Uniswap Asia's Party Gone Wrong!
Remember the Uniswap Labs Asia launch party in China?
The red carpet, well-dressed businessmen, the grand party, and people claiming to be Uniswap's big bosses from America?
Here's the thing:?Uniswap's head, Hayden Adams , doesn't even know who they are! ?? ♂???
This wasn't just a party.
It happened again and again in China.
This group, which later changed its name to Unifi, acted like they were connected to Uniswap.
Sounds cool, right?
But then… POOF! It all disappeared. ????
On July 12, 2023, they said on their website that someone hacked their system.
The next day, they acted like nothing happened and kept promoting their project.

But soon, they said they lost a lot of money and had to stop everything on July 14.
They promised to give people their money back.
But since then, they've gone silent.
They even deleted their chats on Telegram Messenger and stopped 38,000 people in their group from talking. ??
After the hack, Unifi's website just said it was down for repairs.
Unifi copied the logo and branding of the real Uniswap.
They even hired people to act like they were Uniswap's bosses.
One guy, "Mike Hanlon", pretended to be the CEO of Uniswap.
He talked about how great everything was going while the real CEO, Hayden Adams, didn't even know who these people were. ??
In China, sometimes people hire foreigners to pretend to be important businessmen.
You could pretend to be someone's date at a wedding, to earn some quick money. ????
Now, Unifi says they'll give back the lost money through their token called UNIFI.
But, the money used to create this token came from a suspicious source.
Even though China doesn't allow cryptocurrencies, people still want to invest in them.
Some people from mainland China even go to Hong Kong to trade their cash for crypto because it's easier there.
But because of the rules in China, people can easily fall for scams like this and they can't do much about it. ????
???Cheese and Charts: zkEVMs are Moon-ing
If you’re a reader of the Doodhwala—
Then congratulations!
You have a?140+ IQ.?(This is proven by Harvard, Stanford, and other big university dropouts who can’t get a job now???*)*
But that’s not the?kinda knowledge?we talkin’ about today.
No ser no. ??
We’re talking about?zkEVMs, a.k.a.,?Zero Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines.
???WTF are zkEVMs??Zero Knowledge EVMs are basically Zero Knowledge Rollups that are EVM compatible.?Translation -?A cryptographic proof that verifies a Rollup/bundle of transactions without checking each individual transaction.
Okay now, what the hell does that do? ??
Simple.
All of this has caused?zkEVMs to???????
And the pioneer of this tech is none other than our?beloved Polygon zkEVM!??
Here’s what the numbers look like for zkEVMs??
?? Over?$55 million?in TVL! ??
?? More than?2.8 million transactions, combined with an All-time-low gas fee.?
???230k+ unique?active addresses.??
What do you think? Are zkEVMs finally the solution to high gas fees on ETH?
Hit reply and let us know what you think! ??
????Resourcewala: Stake-Based Token Systems
Confused about this whole new paradigm of inflation in the realm of stake-based token protocols? You're not alone tho.
We're about to unpack this head-scratcher: a model where token issuance adjusts algorithmically and where network quality and security hinge on high-quality participation.
Yeah, it's a mouthful, we know. ??
Here's the lowdown in today's resource scoop:
