"Worldcoin says it eventually wants to erase the iris images to protect the privacy of those who sign up for its currency. If perfected, the company says the technology will distill the image of each set of irises into a unique string of letters and numbers, called an iris-hash, to be stored in Worldcoin’s database. As the company’s data consent form states, data gathered by the Orb will be used for “purposes such as training of our neural network for the recognition of human irises.”"

Eventually. If perfected. "Will."

That doesn't change the fact that you will most likely be able to take someone's iris-hash and then associate their transaction history with that hash.

At least Bitcoin has pseudonymity.
