Worldcoin, a revolutionary digital identity platform and cryptocurrency initiative, has revealed a groundbreaking collaboration with Alchemy, a leading Web3 infrastructure platform, to introduce its cutting-edge blockchain innovation known as World Chain.
The World Chain blockchain has been meticulously crafted to provide practical real-world applications for the global community, primarily focusing on decentralized finance (DeFi) and digital identity solutions.
By harnessing the robust Web3 infrastructure developed by Alchemy, Worldcoin aims to ensure unmatched reliability and foster organic community growth, as highlighted in their recent joint statement.
World Chain has been hailed as a blockchain tailored for humanity since its announcement in April of this year. The platform is powered by Optimism’s OP Stack and seamlessly integrates with Ethereum, Coinbase, and various other networks within the Superchain ecosystem.
Worldcoin’s innovative proof of personhood technology within World Chain has been specifically optimized for human users, implementing an authentication system designed to thwart bots. Verified individuals will receive priority access to blockspace and gas allowances, ensuring a seamless user experience.
By prioritizing authenticated human users, developers are granted the unique opportunity to connect with millions of real people through applications that offer tangible real-world benefits, ultimately enhancing daily life experiences.
The strategic partnership with Alchemy enables World Chain to achieve mass adoption, with the capacity to cater to over 10 million users on the World App platform, as confirmed by both entities.
In line with the latest announcement, developers leveraging World Chain will leverage Alchemy’s cutting-edge tools, including data APIs, indexing solutions, and other essential resources to power user-friendly applications worldwide.
One crucial tool provided by Alchemy is the account abstraction infrastructure, crucial for the security and integrity of self-custodial wallets, ensuring a safe and streamlined user experience.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Worldcoin to provide vital infrastructure and nurture developer growth for World Chain,” stated Noam Hurwitz, engineering lead at Alchemy. “With our extensive experience in guaranteeing uptime for major web2 and web3 enterprises, Alchemy is well-equipped to support the launch of over 10M World App users,” he added.
Worldcoin has hinted at the imminent release of a developer preview for World Chain, enabling projects to commence development on the blockchain ahead of its full-scale launch later this year.
