worldcoin.org is presently scanning about 1 person per second for
proof of personhood presumably to prepare for defending against ai
replications, possibly with universal basic income as incentivization

the protocol is described as agnostic to the method of proof. the
designers appear ignorant of a blockchain’s ability to cause
goal-oriented research efforts to take off exponentially, but they
introduce normalization of the importance of direct biometric
interaction in a digital age.

their first proving device is
https://whitepaper.worldcoin.org/technical-implementation#the-orb

i do not see it yet listed on their open source page at
http://worldcoin.org/open-source .
