Unlike existing Layer 1/Layer 2 projects, World takes as its core asset not “blockchain performance” itself, but the network effect that proves human identity in a privacy-preserving way. The official white paper describes the World Network as an identity and financial infrastructure consisting of World ID, Orb, World App, World Chain, and WLD, and World Chain is defined as an Ethereum-based L2 and a financial layer above the Superchain architecture. World's official document states that Orb has privacy, security, transparency, and scalability to 8 billion people as requirements.
Investment View
In the future, if World ID Fees are connected to WLD incineration or operating resources, $B {burn}$ or profit-based reinvestment may occur, improving the quality of the token economy. World has the most aggressive expansion model in terms of “verification of unique humanity,” but due to biometric information and off-chain operation network, regulatory risks are higher than competing projects. World is not yet a “complete project,” but rather is in the expansion stage with technical, economic, and regulatory risks remaining.
