The platform is now live within the Phantom wallet and at world.xyz, utilizing Chainlink as its primary oracle infrastructure for market data. World enables users to trade directly from their Solana wallets, with positions, settlement, and redemptions occurring fully onchain using CASH stablecoin. World, the mysterious Solana project that garnered millions of views on X with little more than a glowing globe, cryptic posts and the tagline “Trade Everything,” is now live as a fully onchain prediction market inside Phantom. The platform is online at world.xyz and in the Phantom wallet on iOS, Android and desktop, with Chainlink serving as its primary oracle infrastructure for its data. Users can trade event contracts tied to crypto prices and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with additional markets on sports, geopolitics, and macroeconomics planned for the near future, according to an announcement shared with CoinDesk. World’s world_xyz account has built attention throughsocial media posts offering scant product details, fueling speculation that the project could be a meme coin, trading app or broader Solana infrastructure play. Copycat WORLD-themed tokens have appeared on token launchpads, though those tokens are not official World assets. The platform's identity stayed hidden until late June, when a legal disclosure on Phantom's site surfaced on X. World is instead a non-custodial prediction market, with users being able to trade directly from their Solana wallets and funds moving only when they enter a market. Positions, settlement and redemptions happen onchain. World uses Phantom’s CASH stablecoin as its settlement asset, allowing winning positions to be redeemed automatically inside the wallet. Phantom gives World immediate distribution through one of Solana’s largest consumer apps and follows Phantom’s broader push into in-app markets, including Kalshi prediction markets and regulated derivatives . “Prediction markets are one of the most powerful applications you can build on a high-performance blockchain,” Pedro Miranda, head of consumer at the Solana Foundation, in Wednesday's announcement. “World is designed to show what Solana makes possible: real-time markets, onchain settlement, and a user experience that meets people where they are.” Chainlink will provide World with market data and resolution infrastructure through Chainlink Data Streams and the Chainlink Runtime Environment. The setup is meant to reduce reliance on human-led resolution, a longstanding friction point in prediction markets. Other event-contract platforms have also moved toward oracle-based settlement, including Polymarket for some price-based markets. World is not the only Solana-native prediction market. Jupiter unveiled its Forecast beta on June 29, offering 15-minute bitcoin price markets. The Phantom debut is the first of several frontend distribution partnerships World plans to activate across traditional fintech and crypto platforms in July.
