World, formerly Worldcoin, develops software that verifies “humannesss” by scanning people’s eyeballs and has faced controversies including alleged insider token trading, fraud, and exploitation in impoverished countries, with several countries banning it. In April, World partnered with Tools for Humanity to sell tickets for Bruno Mars’ world tour through Concert Kit, but Bruno Mars’ team denied involvement. Tools for Humanity later clarified it meant Thirty Seconds to Mars, fronted by actor Jared Leto, who has numerous sex abuse allegations. Concert Kit aims to stop ticket scalpers by requiring fans to scan their eyes for a “Humans Only Concert,” rewarding volunteers with a special two-for-one ticket offer. Tools for Humanity reported that nearly 1,000 verified humans obtained tickets for an April 17 event and that it stopped more than 100,000 bots from buying tickets.
"Concert Kit was designed to cut reseller bots out of the equation by having Leto fans scan their eyeballs for a so-called “Humans Only Concert,” a volunteering effort to be awarded with a special two-for-one ticket offer."
