What is WorldCoin?
The Worldcoin token (WLD) is the token behind the Worldcoin project, which aims to create a new identity and financial network owned by everyone.
After visiting an Orb, a physical biometric verification device, an individual can receive a privacy-preserving digital identity called World ID. This lets you prove that you are a real and unique person online while remaining private through zero-knowledge proofs. All Orb-verified World IDs holders can claim their grants of free WLD tokens (where available) and you can interact with the Worldcoin project by downloading the World App.
For more information about the project, you may visit their website and read the whitepaper: https://worldcoin.org/
WLDUSD Quanto Contract Spec
As with all quanto contracts, the WLDUSD contract has a fixed Bitcoin multiplier, regardless of the WLDUSD price. This allows traders to long or short the WLDUSD exchange rate without ever touching WLD or USD.
Traders can post margin in XBT, and earn or lose in XBT as the WLDUSD rate changes.
This quanto risk premium may be one of the factors that results in the WLDUSD swap trading at a premium/discount to the WLDUSD spot price.
