Worldcoin Layer 2 World Chain Announces Developer Preview
Highlights
- Worldcoin has launched World Chain preview
- The preview opens access for developers to test and give feedback
- The Layer 2 scaling protocol is close to its full launch
In preparation for the official launch of World Chain, the Worldcoin Foundation has introduced a developer preview.
Developers to test the L2 With Preview
The organization behind the iris-scanning Worldcoin crypto project launched a developer preview of its upcoming Layer 2 network. With this preview, a few developers can begin to explore the potential L2. Precisely, this limited number of developers could build and test the World Chain network. Thereafter, they are expected to provide feedback right before its final mainnet launch.
According to the Sam Altman firm, the launch of the L2 network is expected by this summer. In addition to building on the World Chain, the developer preview makes it possible to set up deployment ahead of the migration of the 10 million+ World App users from its existing base on OP Mainnet.
Worldcoin mulled this idea of an Ethereum-based L2 protocol in April as a means to improve efficiency. At the time, Tools for Humanity (TFH) noted that the World Chain will be secured by the Ethereum network. It involves building on Optimism’s OP Stack, which means it is joining the Superchain. TFH also added that only “verified” humans will be allowed to “enjoy priority blockspace over bots and some free gas.”
Tools for Humanity is the core developer behind the Worldcoin project. Its design will allow developers reach millions of real users around the world, with applications that are focused on utility for everyday life.
World Chain Project Receives Support From Top Firms
Optimism Unlimited Chief Growth Officer Ryan Wyatt described the World Chain project as one of the largest in its space. He highlighted that it is a contributor to enhancing the OP Stack while also contributing sequencer revenue to the Optimism Collective.
“The launch of World Chain’s developer preview marks a significant step forward, enabling Worldcoin’s developers to leverage the power of the OP Stack to build ambitious applications, further enhancing the Superchain’s impact,” Wyatt added.
So far, the World Chain project has received immense support from some of the industry’s finest firms. Last month, Worldcoin teamed up with blockchain infrastructure giant Alchemy to power this ambitious project. Noteworthy, the strategic partnership gives Worldcoin access to Alchemy’s proven infrastructure, including rollup hosting services and a comprehensive suite of developer tools.
This follows other partnerships with Safe and Elliptic to provide infrastructure to developers building on the chain.
