Greetings everyone!

⚪🇨🇦⚪🇺🇸⚪🇲🇽⚪

The Orb is making its way across North America at a scale never seen before. For the first time ever, folks will be able to visit the Orb in Canada, Mexico and the USA, all within the next few weeks.

Canada begins later today at ETH Pragma Waterloo and continues over the weekend at the ETHGlobal Waterloo main event.

Tomorrow (Friday the 23rd), the Orb returns to Miami for another round of signups at the Canvas in Wynwood.

Starting Monday 6/26, the Orb will be available at its new (and frankly epic) location at the Oculus in downtown Manhattan, NYC.

And finally, beginning at the end of next week, Worldcoin will begin its Mexican operations at a brand new location in Mexico City.

So many opportunities to grow the community — and a profound step forward in our work to fulfill the mission of making Worldcoin available to more and more people around the world.


Stoked to see you there.
