Buterin’s Vision for Worldcoin
Worldcoin has been working hard to increase user data privacy, and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has now recognized this.
Among Worldcoin’s co-founders, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Buterin singled out Worldcoin for praise for the “quite a good job” it has done using cryptography to protect user privacy.
In Buterin’s view, the developers have been making great strides in responding to privacy concerns by making their system increasingly data-minimal.
