Developers can now explore the new blockchain Worldcoin, World Chain.

The Worldcoin Foundationthe organization promoting Sam Altman’s identity-focused cryptocurrency project, announced Tuesday the launch of a preview for its upcoming network Blockchain layer 2.

The announcement means that developers can now begin exploring, building, testing, and providing feedback on World Chain Before the official launch of the mainnet, he reported The Block quoting a statement.

In particular, Interested developers will be able to request compilation, testing and feedback at Tools For Humanitythe development firm behind Worldcoinhe added CoinDesk.

Worldcoin proposes a unique identity verification system called World ID based on iris scanning, a model that its promoters say will be valuable in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence (AI), serving to differentiate humans from robots. People who register receive rewards in the form of WLD tokens.

The organization had revealed in April its intentions to launch a new native layer-2 chain that would be designed to make the project run more efficiently. The network promises to be permissionless, open-source, and independently governed by its community, and is expected to be live before the end of August, according to reports.

The new one Blockchainwhich the team describes will be “designed for humans”will give verified users priority over bots when interacting with products and services that run on the network.

Reth is a new client for the network Ethereumdeveloped by Paradigmwith an emphasis on being “Easy to use, modular, fast and efficient“, according to the firm’s website. While Reth It is normally used for the network Ethereum, Paradigm shared that it will accommodate a broad user base, including layer 2 networks such as Optimism.

The developers of Worldcoin They told the newspaper that they do not plan to open a test network for users.

World Chain It currently has the support of partners such as Alchemy, Safe and Elliptic to provide tools and infrastructure to developers building on-chain, with additional node providers, analytics companies, wallet infrastructure providers, block explorers, bridges, and more to be announced in the coming weeks.
