Pi Network vs 
Worldcoin
Two projects chasing mass onboarding by very different means. Pi Network recruited tens of millions through a mobile app that let people mine on their phones, with mainnet access arriving years after sign-up. Worldcoin distributes tokens to people who verify uniqueness by having their iris scanned, funding a proof-of-personhood network that has drawn regulatory objections in several countries. Both traded scale for questions about what users actually consented to.
12 months, both starting at 100 (AUD)

About Worldcoin
Worldcoin (WLD) is the token of World, the iris-scanning digital-identity project co-founded by OpenAI's Sam Altman. It aims to prove "unique humanness" online; its biometric approach has drawn regulatory scrutiny in several countries.
