The company did not reveal additional details about the launch.<\/p>\n<h2>Worldchain<\/h2>\n<p>The company said World Chain will be an an open, permissionless network with community governance. The permissionless approach means users will not need a verified World ID to use World Chain, and &#8220;everyone will be able [to] submit transactions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, World Chain will prioritize verified users' transactions and anonymize verified users' transactions through zero-knowledge proof technology.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Worldcoin will provide verified users with a free gas allowance through a WLD token claim every two weeks, although users can also pay for gas in ETH. After its initial fee sponsorship, Worldchain intends to cover casual users' gas costs with fees from bots and power users.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/worldcoin-org-wld\/\">Worldcoin<\/a> emphasized its scalability goals as it accounts for roughly 44% of all network activity \u2014 sometimes up to 80% \u2014 on OP Mainnet.<\/p>\n<p>In light of the growth, Worldcoin said it must &#8220;graduate to a dedicated network&#8221; to support 1 billion people \u2014 100x more than the 10 million users it currently serves.<\/p>\n<p>According to a separate <a href=\"https:\/\/worldcoin.org\/blog\/engineering\/finding-scalable-home-for-worldcoin\">technical post,<\/a> Worldcoin aims to immediately and significantly increase the Layer-2 block gas limit to address current network costs.
