World Chain is open to the world!
World Chain is now open to every human
Starting today, builders can deploy apps on World Chain, enabling access to the vastest user base of verified humans that exists anywhere onchain.
All ~15 million World ID holders and World App users have either migrated or are in the process of migrating to World Chain—a blockchain designed to prioritize humans.
On Day 1, World Chain is supported by Alchemy.

Unlock access to real people, all over the world
World Chain is a new blockchain tailored for human-centric applications. It will seamlessly integrate with the World Network and work alongside Optimism and the broader Ethereum ecosystem as part of the Superchain.
For builders, World Chain offers you the opportunity to reach the vastest user base of verified humans that exists anywhere onchain.
World ID holders span the globe: ~15 million people across 160 countries can explore and use onchain applications through compatible, non-custodial wallets like World App.
In addition, with the introduction of Mini Apps and Minikit, announced today, your application will benefit from direct in-app distribution.
World Chain is built for every human
Despite broad utility, World Chain will be prioritizing two kinds of use cases above all else to start:
Anonymous human verification
World Chain natively integrates with World ID, the only anonymous identity verification protocol onchain today. This is a new primitive that has never existed before. If you want to engage with real people, World Chain is the best possible place to build.
Stablecoins and financial access
Today, World ID holders are predominantly in countries where stablecoin adoption is growing the fastest, often because they provide true utility in users' lives. World Chain will accelerate this trend by allowing builders to create reliable products that unlock access to new levels of financial freedom.
An invitation for real people into a blockchain economy
The World Network puts verified humans first, at every level of the stack.
They're productionizing this vision by building on Alchemy Rollups. Alchemy Rollups enables World Chain, and teams like World Chain, to launch their own chain, leveraging reliable, scalable infrastructure, while accessing the complete developer platform of APIs and tools.
At Alchemy, we're in a unique position to support the World Chain vision: with over 7 years of battle-tested systems, 0 multi-hour outages, and 150+ devs manning the infrastructure, 24/7, Alchemy is the best platform for enabling World Chain to scale as it onboards more users, apps, and developers across the globe.
“World Chain is a new blockchain designed for humans focused on financial access for all. With over 5 million monthly active users, reliability and scalability are at the forefront of everything we do. In addition to an unmatched web3 developer toolset, Alchemy’s world-class enterprise level support and experience running blockchain infrastructure at scale made them the obvious choice for World Chain.”
As part of this partnership, we will integrate the comprehensive Alchemy platform into World Chain, including core Node APIs, Account Abstraction for smart wallets, Data Indexing and APIs, and key Developer Experience Tools.
Ready to start?
We're thrilled to be the infrastructure powering the World Chain revolution.
Starting today, all Alchemy builders have immediate access to World Chain directly in your dashboard. Ready to go?
