Worldcoin has been renamed to World Network and announced that World Chain has launched its mainnet

ChainCatcher news, the digital identity project Worldcoin, backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has announced its rebranding to World Network (abbreviated as World) and officially launched its Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain mainnet, World Chain.

World Network stated that as the project scales and the importance of the World ID human proof protocol increases, "Worldcoin" can no longer fully encapsulate the project's mission. The new brand World encompasses three core pillars: World Chain, World ID, and the Worldcoin token, aiming to build a network composed of real, verified humans to drive advancements in artificial intelligence.

World Chain is a "human-only" community built on the OP Stack, offering more practical applications, lower gas fees, and in the future, allowing users to participate in the development direction of World Chain. Well-known projects such as Optimism, Alchemy, Uniswap, Safe, Dune, and Etherscan will support the launch of this blockchain.
