Polymarket, a decentralized prediction markets platform, has launched a new mini app inside World App, the official application of the Worldcoin ecosystem. The feature went live on October 21, offering eligible users a 10% bonus, up to 5 WLD (roughly $5), on first-time deposits made through the mini app. A minimum deposit of $5 is required to qualify for the bonus.
The rollout comes as part of a new partnership between Polymarket and the World Foundation, the organization behind World App and Worldcoin. The collaboration aims to incentivize user engagement while expanding access to prediction markets for World App’s growing global user base.
“We’re excited to announce our Polymarket mini app has launched in the World App,” the company wrote on X. The mini app launch coincides with Worldcoin’s initiative to integrate cross-chain functionality and enhance user experience within its Layer 2 blockchain, World Chain. Earlier this month, World Chain adopted Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard.
Chainlink’s integration enables cross-chain WLD transfers and provides low-latency price feeds via Data Streams, supporting DeFi apps like Polymarket. “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.”
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.
