The platform is built on Optimism’s OP Stack and integrates with Ethereum, Coinbase, and other networks in the Superchain. Worldcoin noted in April that World Chain’s proof of personhood technology will be optimized for humans, with the authentication system meant to deter bots. Verified users will have priority in blockspace and gas allowance.
Prioritizing authenticated humans will enable developers to reach millions of real people with applications that offer real-world utility and enhance everyday life. According to the recent announcement, World Chain developers plan to utilize Alchemy’s solution to access data APIs, indexing solutions, and other key tools to power apps meant for everyday use globally. The account abstraction infrastructure is one of these crucial tools for the security and safety of self-custodial wallets.
Noam Hurwitz, engineering lead at Alchemy, expressed excitement about the partnership with Worldcoin to deliver essential infrastructure and foster developer growth for World Chain. He stated that Alchemy’s six years of experience ensuring guaranteed uptime for major web2 and web3 enterprises uniquely position them to support the over 10M World App users at launch. Worldcoin has announced that it will soon release a developer preview for World Chain, allowing projects to start building on the blockchain ahead of the chain’s full launch later in the year.
