World Foundation Raises $52.5M in Strategic WLD Token Sale

World Foundation has completed its first close of a strategic WLD token sale, raising $52.5 million from a group of crypto-focused investors to support the expansion of its proof-of-human infrastructure.

The nonprofit said every WLD token sold in the transaction will remain locked for one year, and the funding will be directed toward expanding World ID for enterprises, consumers, and AI agents across international markets.

World Foundation's latest fundraising comes as it enters a new phase focused on increasing real-world use of its identity network after spending the past three years building the protocol.
