Worldcoin has launched its own Ethereum Layer 2 network, World Chain, which is quickly making waves in the blockchain space. Part of the Optimism Superchain, World Chain aims to improve scalability and prioritize verified human users, marking a significant step in blockchain technology.
Recent data from Alchemy shows the network’s impressive early performance, with over 1,200 accounts already recording at least one externally owned account (EOA) transaction. In addition, World Chain has facilitated the creation of 21 tokens and handled over 6 million transactions, signaling rapid adoption within the Layer 2 ecosystem.
Prioritizing Human Users And Enhancing Scalability
World Chain leverages the OP Stack architecture, the same technology driving other leading optimism-based chains. This architecture enhances scalability, addressing one of blockchain’s biggest challenges—network congestion. By prioritizing transactions from verified human users, World Chain aims to minimize the effects of bots, offering a more efficient and cost-effective solution.
This approach ensures that genuine users have quicker access to block space, reducing transaction costs and increasing overall network efficiency. With this human-centric model, World Chain reduces barriers for casual users, giving them a better blockchain experience.
Innovative Transaction Fees Model
World Chain also introduces an innovative fee structure. While ETH remains the primary gas token, Worldcoin’s native token, WLD, can also be used to pay transaction fees. Verified users benefit from a gas allotment, significantly reducing costs for casual transactions. Meanwhile, fees paid by bots and high-volume users support the system, creating a more inclusive environment for everyday transactions.
This model supports Worldcoin’s broader vision of building a blockchain focused on human users, while maintaining the scalability required for mass adoption. With over 10 million World App users expected to migrate to World Chain, the network is positioned to scale effectively as demand grows.
To meet this growing demand, World Chain has optimized its gas capacity, currently supporting 5 MGas per second—double that of the OP Mainnet. As the network continues to expand, further improvements are planned to handle increasing transaction volumes without compromising speed or efficiency.
World Chain’s focus on scalability, user prioritization, and innovative fee structures positions it as a critical player in the Layer 2 ecosystem. Its ability to manage mass adoption aligns with Worldcoin’s goal of creating a more human-centric blockchain experience.

WLD Token Performance
Worldcoin native token, WLD, is also gaining attention. At the time of writing, WLD is trading at $1.73, down 1.76% over the last 24 hours. However, it has shown a strong upward trend over the past month, with a 22.04% increase, suggesting bullish momentum for the long term.
As World Chain continues to grow, both in user base and transaction volume, it stands as a promising example of how Layer 2 networks can deliver enhanced scalability while staying true to blockchain’s decentralized roots.
