TL;DR: Across has integrated with World Chain to provide seamless, fast, and secure crosschain transactions from day one. World Chain is a human-centric blockchain built on the OP Stack as part of the Superchain, prioritizing real human users in an increasingly AI-driven landscape. With Across, developers gain instant access to ETH, USDC, and wBTC liquidity, enabling them to build meaningful, crosschain dApps effortlessly. This integration positions World Chain as a hub for human-first applications, elevating their World ID proof of human verification and ensuring a scalable, impactful future for web3.
Introduction
Web3 is for humans.
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of technical innovations, but we must remember why we started building the blockchain-based internet in the first place—to enhance people’s lives. With the rapid rise of AI, this mission grows even more urgent, as distinguishing between human and AI-generated creations and actions becomes increasingly challenging—both off-chain and on-chain.
Bots have always been part of blockchain networks, but the arrival of AI introduces a new and more sophisticated player into the ecosystem. This shift demands tools that can differentiate between humans and AI on-chain to ensure that web3 remains secure, transparent, and serves real human users.
World Chain embraces this challenge by building a human-first blockchain that puts people at the heart of every experience. It offers the tools developers need to create onchain environments designed for humans—from identity verification tools and KYC solutions to intuitive user experiences. With Across Protocol joining as a day-one bridging solution, developers can build meaningful dApps that seamlessly connect to liquidity across chains, delivering real-world value.

What is World Chain?
World Chain is not just another L2—it’s an ambitious effort to build a scalable, open-source, and permissionless ecosystem designed to serve real humans.
In a world where AI blurs the lines between human and machine, World Chain offers a platform focused on building tools that create human-centric, on-chain experiences. Developers can leverage proof -of -human technologies to create dApps that prioritize human users while maintaining transparency and trust. This foundation ensures that these tools reach millions of people across the globe.
Built on the OP Stack as part of the Superchain, World Chain is the home base for World and World ID—a proof of human verification technology embedded in World Network. The network natively integrates World ID and gives all verified humans access to prioritized blockspace.
Across Protocol: Powering Seamless Crosschain Interoperability
Across brings fast, affordable, and secure crosschain transactions to the World Chain ecosystem, reinforcing their mission to deliver intuitive, real-world utility to millions of users.
From day one, Across Protocol plays a key role in World Chain’s expansion into the broader Ethereum L2 landscape. With Across’ efficient crosschain solution, the World Chain community unlocks instant access to ETH, USDC, and wBTC liquidity across the multichain EVM ecosystem. This provides two major breakthroughs:
Developers can build powerful crosschain applications with native interoperability.
Users can easily bridge funds from other chains to World Chain’s evolving ecosystem.
Moreover, World Chain is part of Optimism’s Superchain, which leverages ERC-7683 to enable native crosschain interoperability. Co-developed by Across and Uniswap, ERC-7683 is a universal standard for crosschain swaps powered by Intents.
Unlocking New Possibilities for Developers
Across lets developers leverage World Chain’s infrastructure to build crosschain dApps for identity verification, KYC, and other human-centric use cases. As more AI solutions enter the blockchain space, tools that ensure trust, provide transparency, and verify human users amidst bots will become essential.
Other use cases include crosschain stablecoin finance, international remittances, and e-commerce tools. ****With reliable crosschain interoperability, the possibilities are truly endless.
The Across SDK is simple-to-use and provides comprehensive documentation to support developers every step of the way. Its streamlined integration ensures that even new projects can quickly unlock the benefits of crosschain liquidity and seamless interoperability. Instead of having to manage deployments on multiple chains, developers simply “plug” their dApps into Across and instantly gain access to billions of dollars worth of crosschain liquidity with only a few lines of code.
This is how you bring real value to millions of people.
A Glimpse into the Future
This is just the beginning. Across currently supports ETH, USDC, and wBTC bridging on World Chain. As the network grows, this integration will continue to unlock greater liquidity and utility for their ecosystem, positioning it as a major hub for impactful dApps. Fast, affordable, and secure crosschain functionality is the first step towards a human-centric web3 landscape.
