On July 9th, the Worldcoin Foundation announced the launch of the World Chain developer preview.
This tool enables global developers to start building World Chain infrastructure before its 2024 mainnet debut.
Early Infrastructure Development for World Chain
Unlike many blockchain projects that utilize a testnet phase, World Chain is skipping this step. This allows developers to deploy infrastructure directly on a “gated mainnet.” Remco Bloemen, head of protocol at the Worldcoin Foundation, explained that this approach is possible because the underlying technology has already undergone extensive testing on the OP Stack.
The OP Stack is an open-source development framework maintained by the Optimism Collective. It serves as a public resource for both the Ethereum and Optimism ecosystems. “OP Stack has seen plenty of testing already — we know it works,” Bloemen said.

Developers interested in accessing the World Chain developer preview can apply through Worldcoin’s Developer Tools. This preview phase offers a unique opportunity for developers to engage with the World Chain infrastructure. Also, to begin creating applications that leverage Worldcoin’s digital identity protocol, World ID, ahead of the broader public release.

The Worldcoin Foundation has already seen significant engagement with its infrastructure. Since supporting Optimism and the Superchain, this platform’s user transactions have surged to about 50% of OP mainnet’s activity, making it the largest application on the network within less than a year.
