World: Onchain Prediction Market Launches on Solana — Integrated Directly into Phantom
World is live as a non-custodial prediction market on Solana: event contracts on crypto prices and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, onchain settlement in the CASH stablecoin via Chainlink — integrated into the Phantom wallet on iOS, Android and desktop.
What happened
World launched on 1 July 2026 as a fully onchain prediction market on Solana — integrated directly into the Phantom wallet (iOS, Android, desktop) and also available at world.xyz. Users trade event contracts, at launch on crypto prices and the 2026 FIFA World Cup; markets on sports, geopolitics and macroeconomics are planned.
How it works
- Non-custodial: users trade directly from their own Solana wallet; positions, settlement and redemptions happen onchain.
- Oracles: market data and resolution run on Chainlink Data Streams and the Chainlink Runtime Environment — designed to reduce reliance on human-led resolution.
- Settlement: trades settle in the CASH stablecoin; winning positions become automatically redeemable inside the wallet.
- Distribution: the Phantom integration gives the project day-one reach through one of the largest consumer apps in the Solana ecosystem.
Context
Prediction markets are a growing field on Solana — Jupiter already introduced a native model with Forecast. What is new with World is the combination of full onchain settlement, automated oracle resolution and direct wallet integration: the market comes to users inside the app they already use, not the other way around. That is above all a distribution signal — Phantom keeps positioning itself as a consumer platform beyond the pure wallet function.
Important for users in the DACH region: event contracts and prediction markets may fall under gambling or derivatives regulation depending on the country; legal treatment and availability differ by jurisdiction. Note: This is reporting, not investment advice.
What to watch
- Which market categories (sports, geopolitics, macro) actually follow
- Whether volume and open interest carry beyond the World Cup effect
- How regulators assess wallet-integrated availability
