- World Chain integrated Chainlink CCIP to enable secure WLD token transfers between World Chain and Ethereum.
- The partnership includes the adoption of Chainlink Data Streams, which provides real-time market data with sub-second latency for DeFi applications on World Chain.
World Chain, the Layer 2 blockchain supporting World Network’s 35 million users, has adopted the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to allow safe WLD token transfers between World Chain and Ethereum.
The introduction of a cross-chain will be a significant step towards developing the cross-chain potential of the emerging World ecosystem.
The partnership enables users to transfer WLD tokens through Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard to blockchain networks with ease. The technology enables developers to have self-service token integration facilities that can be deployed in minutes.
World (@worldcoin), co-founded by Sam Altman, has made its token WLD a Cross-Chain Token (CCT), enabling it to be natively transferable across Ethereum and World Chain by its 35M+ users, powered by Chainlink CCIP.https://t.co/HMLQBV1uVv

Chainlink Data Streams have also been implemented concurrently by World Chain to power its ecosystem’s secure decentralized finance markets. The data infrastructure provides market prices of the highest quality at sub-second latency for DeFi applications.
Enhanced Security and Global Market Access
Chainlink CCIP provides tested battle-security protocols that have secured tens of trillions of transaction value within the DeFi industry. The integration provides the opportunity to reach global markets with WLD holders being able to use assets to the fullest and access liquidity on different blockchain networks.
The standard of the Cross-Chain Token enables developers to develop innovative applications to transfer tokens, send messages, and cause actions across multiple blockchains. This aspect expands the potential uses of WLD beyond its native World Chain environment.
“It’s exciting to see World Chain has adopted Chainlink CCIP and the Cross-Chain Token standard for WLD, enabling secure transfers across chains,” said Thodoris Karakostas, Director of Blockchain & Product Partnerships at Chainlink Labs. “Combined with bringing high-quality market prices to World Chain through Chainlink Data Streams, the mainstream adoption of secure WLD markets and cross-chain apps on World is set to accelerate.”
The integration caters to the increasing need to have cross-chain functionality as blockchain ecosystems develop into more and more cross-linked entities. The users now have the opportunity to use WLD liquidity on the Ethereum while retaining their presence in the World Chain ecosystem.
Data Infrastructure and DeFi Market Development
Chainlink Data Streams offers pull-based oracle technology that allows DeFi applications access to real-time data in financial markets. The system permits application consumers to retrieve price reports and make them on-chain to fulfill the core protocol functions.
This infrastructure will enable secure DeFi markets to be built around WLD tokens. Lending protocols, trading platforms, and other financial applications can be built by developers who are familiar with price feeds and market data.
Over the past 24 hours, the WLD price has dropped by 2.28% to $1.25 at the time of writing. Over the past week, there has also been a downward trend, with a decline of 19.4%.
As outlined in our recent blog post, Chainlink has partnered with Canton Network to bring its data services to the institutional blockchain platform.
