Polymarket’s Mini App: A World of WLD and Wonders 🌍💰

by

In a world where even the most mundane tasks require a blockchain, Polymarket has taken a step closer to the stars-or at least to the World App. A decentralized prediction markets platform, it’s now offering a 10% bonus, up to 5 WLD (roughly $5), for first-time deposits. Because nothing says “trust” like a 10% discount on your own money.

The rollout is part of a grand alliance between Polymarket and the World Foundation, the folks behind World App and Worldcoin. The goal? To make users feel like they’re part of a cosmic experiment, while also expanding access to prediction markets. Because who doesn’t want to bet on the weather in a universe where the laws of physics are just suggestions?

We’re excited to announce our Polymarket mini app has launched in the World App.

We’ve partnered with the World Foundation to offer a 10% deposit bonus, up to 5 WLD (~$5), for eligible new deposits through the mini app ($5 min. deposit).

“We’re excited to announce our Polymarket mini app has launched in the World App,” the company wrote on X. Clearly, excitement is now a blockchain protocol.

Launch amid technical advances in the World ecosystem

The mini app’s debut coincides with Worldcoin’s initiative to integrate cross-chain functionality. Imagine a universe where your WLD can hop between blockchains like a caffeinated squirrel. Earlier this month, World Chain adopted Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard. Because nothing says “safety” like trusting a protocol named after a mythical creature.

Chainlink’s integration enables cross-chain WLD transfers and provides low-latency price feeds via Data Streams, supporting DeFi apps like Polymarket. It’s like giving your crypto a GPS and a passport, but with more gas fees.

“With Chainlink CCIP, WLD can now be safely transferred across blockchains,” said Steven Smith, VP of Engineering at Tools for Humanity. “This improves market safety and opens new trading possibilities.” Or, as the rest of us would say, “Great, now my coins can get lost in space.”

Polymarket’s launch within World App signals an increased integration between decentralized prediction platforms and the Worldcoin ecosystem. This development comes amid ongoing regulatory scrutiny in regions like Germany and Kenya, where product utility and real-world integrations may influence public and policy perception. Because nothing says “legitimacy” like a 10% bonus on your first deposit.
