## About

### What it is

World Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 chain that enables applications to distinguish between bots and verified humans. It forms a core part of the Worldcoin ecosystem, aiming to power more human-centric onchain activity by prioritizing real people in blockspace allocation and transaction processing.

### Who uses it

World Chain is developed by the team behind Worldcoin, which is currently governed by the Worldcoin Foundation. Worldcoin's investors include a16z, Multicoin Capital, 1confirmation, CoinFund, among others.

### How it works

World Chain is designed as a Layer 2 blockchain built on the OP Stack and optimized for verified humans. It leverages World ID, a privacy-preserving proof of personhood, to prioritize real users over bots and Sybil attackers. It integrates with World App and other identity wallets using Safe smart contract infrastructure.
