Building on World Chain
Apply for a grant to build on World Chain
The Worldcoin Foundation runs the Human Collective Grants program which gives grants to builders that help accelerate the Worldcoin Tech Tree and related RFPs. The grants program switched from a quarterly waves format to a continuous format where builders can apply for a grant at any point in time. For more information you can read the Continuous Grants program announcement blogpost.
Areas of interest for applications
- Rustification of the OP Stack
- Futhering the gigagas roadmap
- ZK-ifying the OP Stack (efforts like OP Succinct, Zeth from Risc0 and Mina's ZK fault proof RFP)
- Scalability research and engineering (can be Ethereum core as well)
- Embedding priority blockspace for humans into the OP Stack derivation pipeline + fault proof program (open R&D)
- Separate eip1559 fee market for humans on OP Stack
- L2 Execution client development (especially reth) and benchmarking
- Improving UX and interoperability
- Chain-level experiments with digital identity and the OP Stack (things like human priority blockspace and free gas allowances for unique humans)
- Interesting applications on World Chain (past examples include proof aggregators like Nebra, storage proofs like Herodotus and Axiom, Passkeys module for Safe, and others)
