As I understand it, the distribution mechanism of Worldcoin is not part of the protocol. The protocol does not know anything about eyes.
So the distribution seems completely centralized. A central authority distributes the coins however they wish.
Today they might use a process involving eye scans. Or maybe not. There is no way to check. Tomorrow they might change their approach however they like. And we would have no way of knowing.
The issue that seems to be overlooked is that there is no way to look at a hash and decide if it was created via scanning an eye. The hash is signed via some key that - according to the makers of WC - sits in an eye scanning device which behaves a certain way. But we have no way of checking that.
