CoinVoice has recently learned that Worldcoin, a digital identity project supported by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, announced that it has changed its name to World Network (World for short) and officially launched its Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain mainnet World Chain.
World Network said that as the project scales up and the World ID human proof protocol becomes more important, "Worldcoin" can no longer fully summarize the project's mission. The new brand World consists of three core pillars: World Chain, World ID and Worldcoin tokens, aiming to build a network of real, verified humans to promote the advancement of artificial intelligence.
World Chain is a "human-only" community built on OP Stack, providing more practical applications, lower gas fees, and will allow users to participate in the development direction of World Chain in the future. Well-known projects such as Optimism, Alchemy, Uniswap, Safe, Dune and Etherscan will support the launch of this blockchain. [Original link]
