- World launched Solana-based prediction markets in Phantom with onchain trading and wallet-controlled funds.
- Chainlink powers market data and automated onchain settlement through its oracle infrastructure.
- World plans to expand into sports, geopolitics, macroeconomics, and crypto prediction markets soon.
World launched its fully onchain prediction market on the Solana blockchain on July 1, giving Phantom wallet users direct access to crypto and 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup markets. According to World, the platform settles every trade onchain using Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure, while users keep funds in their wallets until entering a market.
Launch Brings Onchain Markets to Phantom Users
According to World, the platform opens with short-duration Bitcoin price markets and prediction markets tied to the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup. Moreover, users can access the service directly inside Phantom without downloading another application or creating a separate wallet.
The company said every market, position, and settlement takes place onchain. As a result, participants interact with Solana liquidity instead of a custodial system. Furthermore, funds remain in users’ wallets until they decide to enter a market.
World also selected CASH as its settlement stablecoin. According to the announcement, CASH enables automatic redemption of winning positions while operating natively on Solana.
Pedro Miranda, Head of Consumer at the Solana Foundation, said prediction markets represent an application that benefits from Solana’s performance. He added that World demonstrates real-time markets, onchain settlement, and a user experience designed for broader accessibility.
Will McComb, Product Manager for Money Movement at Phantom, said prediction markets depend on fast and low-cost settlement. He stated that CASH supports those requirements while helping bring fully onchain markets to Phantom users.
Chainlink Handles Market Resolution
World also announced Chainlink as its primary oracle infrastructure partner. According to the company, it uses Chainlink Data Streams and the Chainlink Runtime Environment to provide market data and resolve outcomes onchain.
The company said this approach replaces legacy oracle models that depend on slower, human-controlled resolutions. Instead, it aims to deliver immediate market settlement through decentralized infrastructure.
Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, said the integration reflects a broader shift toward decentralized oracle networks for prediction markets. He added that the partnership positions World to support immediate market resolutions as activity expands.
Additional Markets Planned After Launch
World said the launch begins with crypto and football markets. However, it plans to introduce additional markets covering sports, geopolitics, macroeconomics, and cryptocurrency in the coming weeks.
The company also stated that the Phantom integration marks the first of several planned frontend distribution partnerships across traditional fintech and crypto platforms throughout July.
