Reddit is reportedly in discussions to integrate Sam Altman’s Worldcoin Orb technology to verify users through biometric identity, according to multiple social media sources.
The rumors, though unconfirmed by either party, hint at a potential partnership where Reddit could leverage the iris-scanning device to combat fake accounts and bots.
If accurate, the move would mark a major step in linking decentralized identity with mainstream social platforms.
While neither Reddit nor Tools for Humanity has issued a formal comment, the speculative nature of the reports has drawn significant attention from the crypto community.
Some users view it as a response to rising concerns around generative AI and misinformation online.
Meanwhile, the price of Worldcoin’s WLD token showed signs of recovery following the circulation of the rumor.

This is a developing story. More details are expected as the situation unfolds.
