According to Cointelegraph, Brazil's National Data Protection Agency (ANPD) ordered Tools for Humanity (TFH), the company behind Worldcoin, on January 24th to stop providing cryptocurrency or other economic compensation to Brazilian users for collecting iris biometric data. The ban will take effect from January 25th. ANPD pointed out after investigation that using cryptocurrency as a reward may affect users' voluntary consent to sensitive biological data, especially potentially leading to improper inducement for vulnerable populations. Brazilian law stipulates that consent to the processing of sensitive personal data must be free, informed, and clear. ANPD also expressed concerns about the risk of collecting irreversible iris data. Worldcoin was co founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in 2019 with the aim of creating a globally universal digital identity and financial network through iris scanning. But the project has also been subject to regulatory intervention in Germany due to data privacy issues.

According to official sources, Nibiru has completed the code development and security audit for the Nibiru EVM upgrade. The Nibiru EVM upgrade, also known as Nibiru V2, is a "pure incremental" enhancement that makes Nibiru an equivalent execution engine to EVM. This upgrade makes it easier for Ethereum based application development teams to build on Nibiru and use widely used tools such as MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet. It is reported that this security audit focuses on Nibiru's core L1 logic. The team conducted a consultative security audit with Zenith in October 2024, and Code4Rena customized a dedicated audit team for the project to work on specific code repositories and requirements. After addressing potential security issues identified during the audit, the team sponsored a competitive audit conducted by Code4Rena in November 2024. This audit will expand its scope to include Nibiru's Ethereum JSON-RPC, Core L1, and Nibiru EVM. In the ecosystem update in January 2025, the team also mentioned several products to be launched on Nibiru V2, including Oku's Uniswap V3 deployment, Astrovault's cross chain value capture DEX, token based private credit and treasury bond, and cross chain USDC. In addition, based on the upgrade of Nibiru EVM, the team has released the preliminary stage of the "Nibiru Lagrange Point" roadmap, aiming to further enhance Nibiru's scalability, decentralization, and user experience. The Nibiru Lagrange points include: FunToken mechanism: a unified mechanism for EVM and non EVM tokens, without relying on third-party cross chain bridges; Pipeline aware reordering execution (PARK): improving throughput; Optimized validator dynamics in NibiruBFT: including Boneh Lynn Shacham (BLS) signature and novel grouping algorithm to reduce overhead and accelerate block time; Mempool Lanes: Implement orderly transaction flow.
