Crypto startup Worldcoin has faced a setback in Kenya as authorities suspended its iris-scanning activities over security and privacy concerns. The company is working with relevant authorities to Resume Iris Scans in Kenya and is using the pause to improve onboarding processes and crowd control measures. Kenya's Ministry of the Interior and National Administration has suspended Worldcoin's activities, citing concerns about authenticity, legality, security, financial services, and data protection. Worldcoin aims to develop a global human identity and financial network using its proprietary "Orb" devices to scan irises and provide its own cryptocurrency as an incentive.
