- Supply cap splits into community and team or investor shares.
- Community tokens unlock over years.
- Circulating supply grows with unlocks.
To see how that works, read the project's supply and unlock pages. The steps below show where to look.
What is Worldcoin's token supply?
Worldcoin (WLD) is the token of the World Network. It has a maximum supply set at launch, split between community rewards and team or investor tokens. Team and investor tokens stay locked at first and release on a schedule.
Before you check supply
World ID confirms you are a unique human. World says a verified person can receive WLD repeatedly while supplies allow, and the project limits claims to stop duplicates.
Steps to check token supply
You can read supply data on the official World Network pages. Worldcoin was renamed World Network in October 2024.
- 1Open the official siteGo to the World Network website and open the WLD token page.
- 2Compare supply figuresTotal supply includes locked tokens. Circulating supply counts tradeable tokens.
- 3Read the unlock scheduleThe community share releases over years, not in one event.
- 4Check World ID claim rulesThe project limits claims to one verified human.
- 5Track new token releaseNew tokens enter circulation when locked allocations unlock.
After you check: records and safety
Keep a dated record of each supply check. The way World gathers iris scans has raised privacy concerns in several nations. A 2023 breach exposed operator login details, but user data was not affected.
- Write down the date and page for each check.
- Never share your World ID or wallet recovery phrase.
- Read the privacy terms before you provide iris scans.
