What is the World Chain Network?
World Chain is a new blockchain designed for humans, built to scale the World protocol and the broader Ethereum community to 1 billion people and beyond.
Migrating to World Chain will result in these benefits:
- Free transfers in World App for verified users
- Transactions will be completed at twice the speed of those on the Optimism network, ensuring faster and more efficient processing
World Chain is designed first and foremost to significantly increase capacity so new people can continue to join at scale, and existing users can enjoy faster, cheaper, and more reliable transactions.
How do I migrate World App assets to World Chain?
From October 2024, World App transactions will be taking place in the World Chain Network.
All World App users will need to migrate their existing app assets (tokens) from the Optimism Network into the World Chain Network. World App will prompt you to begin the migration process once it is ready.
To migrate to World Chain:
- Tap on Start migration
- The migration process will begin and should be done in minutes. Once it completes, you will see a confirmation screen, which will allow you to continue using the app as normal.
What will happen to transactions sent to me via the Optimism Network?
If you have already migrated to World Chain and someone sends you a transaction via the Optimism Network, World App will show you the following screen so you can migrate those assets to your wallet:
Simply tap the Understand button to get the migration started. Your assets will appear in the wallet shortly.
To avoid losing funds, please make sure future transactions are done on the World Chain Network.
