With far fewer users than planned, ongoing regulatory challenges, and logistical hurdles, the company faces an uphill battle to realize its vision of global digital identity verification through eye scanning. It remains to be seen if they can pivot or innovate their way out of this conundrum or shut it's eyes and take a long sleep into darkness.
Despite grand promises, has only managed to onboard 6 million users, falling 994 million short of its 2023 goal. Plagued by a severe Eye-ronic Orb Shortage , the company needs to scan 2,734 eyes daily to meet its revised target by 2026. However, with only 500 operational orbs, this mission seems more like a sci-fi fantasy than reality.

However, glimmers of hope persist as operations resume in Kenya and South Korea.
