World Chain (WLD)

What is World Chain?​

World Chain is a Layer 2 blockchain built on the Superchain framework, designed to enhance scalability, affordability, and identity-focused security while integrating seamlessly with Ethereum.

Here are 5 key points about World Chain:

Seamless integration: Interoperates smoothly with Ethereum and other blockchains for asset and data transfers.

Privacy-preserving identity: Offers on-chain identity verification without compromising privacy.

High scalability: Capable of handling thousands of transactions per second, making it suitable for high-demand applications.

Worldcoin (WLD): The native token used for governance, staking, and ecosystem participation. ETH bridged to World Chain (World ETH) is used to pay for gas fees.
