• Worldcoin announced the launch of World Chain Layer-2 (L2) to address Web3 scalability challenges and bad bots.
• Verified World ID holders will receive priority blockspace and gas allowances on Worldcoin’s new network.
• The move comes amid regulatory pressure in various jurisdictions, including a potential fine in Buenos Aires.

尽管面临争议和监管审查，由 OpenAI 的 Sam Altman 共同创立的加密项目 Worldcoin 仍于 2 年 2 月 17 日宣布推出名为 World Chain 的第 2024 层 (LXNUMX) 解决方案。

在此之前，Worldcoin 的 World App 钱包用户已在一周前达到 10 万。

World Chain 声称优先考虑可扩展性和人类

World Chain 建立在 OP Stack 和以太坊网络之上，旨在解决 Web3 可扩展性挑战。该 L2 解决方案将于今年夏天推出。

Worldcoin claims that the network will be “open to everyone.”

Moreover, it also promises that “verified humans, including more than five million verified World ID holders, will get priority blockspace over bots & a gas allowance for casual transactions.”

该网络将与 Worldcoin 协议紧密集成，以推动增长并利用 World ID 的人格证明系统。

对于 World Chain 的宣布，Tools for Humanity（Worldcoin 背后的实体）首席执行官 Alex Blania 向 X（前身为 Twitter）表达了他的兴奋之情。

“While still early, five million people have already verified with the Orb, and over 10 million accounts have been created. To continue accelerating, Worldcoin will launch a blockchain that can eventually support every human,” Blania said.

World Chain 的设计优先考虑可扩展性，显着提高了 L2 区块的 Gas 限制。目前，世界币用户的交易约占 OP 主网活动的 44%，在高峰期间有时会超过 80%。

世界币认为一个核心问题是区块链上机器人的普遍存在。据估计，高达 80% 的区块链交易是自动化的。

虽然许多机器人服务于合法目的，但低效的机器人往往会导致网络拥堵和高额费用。具有讽刺意味的是，随着区块链针对低汽油费和高吞吐量进行优化，这个问题变得更加严重。

“Bad bots like airdrop farmers worsen many of the problems blockchains face today. People on the World Chain will have the option to anonymously verify their addresses as human with a World ID fully delinked from their ID, simply like a blue checkmark,” Tiago Sada, Head of Product at Worldcoin, explained.

除了ETH之外，Worldcoin表示，World Chain用户可以使用WLD轻松支付费用。

Interestingly, the price performance of Worldcoin’s native token, WLD, was modest after the announcement went live.
