What is World Chain?
World Chain is a human-first Ethereum Layer 2 network built on OP Stack. It uses World ID’s Proof of Personhood to create a fairer, easier-to-use on-chain experience.
Its core mechanism gives verified users prioritized inclusion and a capped gas-fee subsidy, mitigating bot-driven congestion and costs.
Tokenomics
- ETH — The network gas token used to pay fees for transfers and other transactions.
- WLD — The ecosystem’s native token. Holders can participate in governance and receive ecosystem incentives.
Features
L2 Architecture — Built on the OP Stack (a standardized Layer 2 framework from Optimism), with security and finality provided by the Ethereum mainnet.
Human-centric features
- Priority Blockspace for Humans (PBH)— World Chain integrates World ID at the protocol layer. Transactions from verified addresses are prioritized for inclusion, are confirmed faster, and face less competition from bots.
- Gas Allowance for Humans— Users will receive WLD tokens and gas-fee subsidies, lowering the barrier to participating in on-chain activities.
