World, a Solana-based prediction market app, has launched through Phantom Wallet, allowing users to trade event contracts directly from a Solana wallet, according to reports from Foresight News, BlockBeats and The Defiant. The platform supports early markets tied to crypto asset prices and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with settlement handled on-chain through Phantom’s CASH stablecoin and Chainlink oracle infrastructure.
World Brings Prediction Markets to Phantom Wallet
BlockBeats reported on July 1 that World officially went live as a full-chain prediction market platform on Solana. The platform has integrated trading functions inside Phantom Wallet, giving users access to event-based markets without moving assets into a traditional off-chain custodial account.
World’s initial markets include short-term crypto price contracts and products linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The project said it plans to add more categories later, including sports, geopolitics, macroeconomic data and cultural events.
The platform is also available through world.xyz, according to The Defiant. Its launch follows more than two years of activity from an anonymous “Trade Everything” teaser account on X, although the team behind World has not been publicly identified.
Non-Custodial Design Uses CASH and Chainlink
World is designed as a non-custodial prediction market, meaning users’ funds move only when they enter a market. Positions, settlement and redemption are handled on Solana, while winning positions are settled in CASH, the stablecoin issued by Phantom.
According to World’s official materials cited by BlockBeats, the platform uses Chainlink data feeds and the Chainlink Runtime Environment to support automated settlement. This structure is intended to reduce dependence on manual arbitration when resolving market outcomes.
Foresight News reported that Chainlink provides data and settlement oracle infrastructure for the platform. The use of automated oracle systems places World among prediction market projects attempting to improve transparency and speed in event-contract settlement.
Market Context for Solana Prediction Apps
The launch adds another consumer-facing trading product to the Solana ecosystem at a time when prediction markets are drawing more attention from crypto users. Event contracts allow traders to take positions on defined outcomes rather than only buying or selling spot assets.
Phantom’s role is central to World’s early distribution, as BlockBeats reported that the wallet gives the platform access to more than 20 million users. The integration may lower entry barriers by placing prediction markets inside an app already used by Solana traders and wallet users.
Reuter reported that World has not announced a token, funding round or investor backing. It also noted that the platform replaces a prior Phantom prediction market arrangement involving Kalshi, the CFTC-regulated exchange, through order-routing infrastructure.
World’s launch shows how Solana applications are extending beyond token swaps and NFT activity into on-chain event markets. The product’s adoption will depend on liquidity, user eligibility, oracle reliability and how prediction market rules develop across jurisdictions.
