Worldcoin Partners with Alchemy to Launch World Chain Blockchain
Human-verification project Worldcoin partnered with the web3 infrastructure platform Alchemy on June 26.
The collaboration will equip Worldcoin developers with Alchemy’s suite of tools and infrastructure to build the new World Chain blockchain.
World Chain will prioritize human verification, digital identity, and decentralized applications while adhering to privacy and security standards.
Alchemy Technology Facilitating World Chain
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman founded Tools for Humanity, and Alex Blania is primarily responsible for developing and promoting the Worldcoin project.
In April, the Worldcoin Foundation announced the creation of World Chain , a new Layer 2 blockchain designed to enhance the Worldcoin project’s efficiency. World Chain will facilitate the assignment of World IDs to individuals who verify their humanity through an eyeball scan. According to its website , nearly 6 million people have signed up for Worldcoin.
Alchemy’s integration with World Chain will provide developers with vital tools such as core node APIs, account abstraction for smart wallets, and data indexing.
Additionally, according to the announcement, World Chain will collaborate with Optimism, Coinbase, and the broader Ethereum ecosystem as part of the Superchain initiative. Following migration from OP, Mainnet World Chain will become the new home for World ID and World App.
Alchemy’s Noam Hurwitz highlighted the partnership’s goal of scaling blockchain applications and bringing more mainstream users on-chain.
“The fundamental way to scale blockchain applications and get more block space is to use rollups, a key piece of infrastructure we are partnering on,” Hurwitz explained.
Worldcoin to Begin Operations in Europe
As part of its expansion efforts, Worldcoin will begin its European operations on June 26, launching World ID orb verifications in six locations across two European cities.
This marks the project’s first foray into Europe, following successful implementations in several Latin American countries.
Despite these positive developments, Worldcoin has experienced a slight decline in open interest, dropping 0.85% over the past 24 hours to a current valuation of $107.9 million.
The price of Worldcoin (WLD) stands at $2.83, down 1.22% in the last 24 hours, with a 24-hour trading volume of $193.8 million.
Worldcoin’s price has dropped nearly 60% from its ATH of $11 since last month.

Will the Fed "continue raising interest rates"? Will the "tightening cycle" of the late 1980s be repeated?
The Citi report points out that the current macro environment is highly similar to the tightening cycle of 1988-1989, when the economy remained resilient and inflation pressures gradually accumulated, followed by a slowdown in economic activity before policies shifted to easing. During that tightening cycle, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates 16 times in a row.
Rare alliance of arch-rivals! Musk and Altman support Dario Amodei's call to "slow down AI globally"
Anthropic's Amodei issued a call to "slow down AI globally," and to everyone's surprise, rivals Musk and Altman both publicly endorsed the initiative. The three industry giants unanimously agreed to grant third-party access to "employee-level" evaluation rights and to implement coordinated deceleration measures. Altman went further, announcing that OpenAI will not IPO this year. The resignation of a researcher and a collective breakout of uncontrollable AI systems have ignited long-standing industry fears.
