World Network co-founders Alex Blania and Sam Altman today announced the launch of World Chain: a blockchain that aims to significantly scale the Worldcoin protocol and the broader Ethereum community. World Chain is built on the OP Stack and is part of the Superchain.
As part of the launch, World Chain users will be able to use MoonPay - via ramps aggregator Onramper - to buy and sell the Worldcoin token (where it is available) with most major payment methods.*
The Worldcoin token is also available directly on MoonPay.
World Chain is a “blockchain designed for humans”: verified human users will get priority blockspace over bots and a gas allowance for casual transactions. The network will leverage “proof of human”, a digital identity protocol powered by zero-knowledge cryptography, and will operate as an Ethereum Layer 2.
Since Worldcoin’s launch in July 2023, nearly 15M people in 160 countries have created a World ID and a compatible wallet, and nearly 7M people have verified their World ID using an Orb: a custom biometric imaging device used to verify users.
