Exciting Developments in Worldcoin’s World Chain Project

The developer firm behind the innovative Worldcoin protocol has announced a major milestone on Tuesday. The upcoming layer-2 chain, World Chain, is now open for developers to explore and utilize. This initiative allows select developers to apply for building, testing, and providing valuable feedback to Tools For Humanity, the developer firm behind Worldcoin.

World Chain and Optimism’s OP Stack

World Chain has partnered with Optimism’s OP Stack, a highly customizable toolkit that empowers developers to create their own blockchains by leveraging Optimism’s cutting-edge technology. Notably, OP Stack has gained significant popularity as a preferred choice for developing layer-2 chains and was instrumental in Coinbase’s ‘Base’ network creation.

Insights from Worldcoin Foundation

Remco Bloemen, the head of blockchain at the Worldcoin Foundation, expressed admiration for the vision of the team behind World Chain, highlighting their longstanding commitment to innovation. Bloemen refrained from providing an exact timeline for the mainnet launch but confirmed that a testnet release is not on the immediate horizon.

Introduction of Reth by Tools for Humanity

Additionally, the World Chain project will introduce Reth, a novel Ethereum client software developed by venture capital firm Paradigm, in a shadow mode. Tools for Humanity aims to dedicate engineering resources to ensure Reth is fully optimized for mainnet deployment. Reth is designed to offer a user-friendly, modular, fast, and efficient Ethereum client experience, catering to a broad user base including layer-2 networks like Optimism.
