World Chain Onchain Activity Surges as WLD Token Soars

World Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 network built by Worldcoin for World ID users. It uses the OP Stack and drives high-frequency transactions through subsidized gas fees, identity verification and rewards. Its significance lies in testing whether tens of millions of “real human” users can generate sustainable onchain economic activity.

As of June 22, 2026, DeFiLlama put its total value locked at about $40.42 million, while L2BEAT estimated total value secured at more than $610 million, up 122.6% over 30 days. Daily active addresses rose 649%. CoinGecko data showed WLD gained 136.1% over the month. Eightco Holdings owns 283 million tokens, while daily unlocks will fall from 5.1 million to 2.9 million starting July 24.
