Building a WLD-Native Economy Across the World Protocol

The World Foundation has been entrusted with the mission of stewardship of the World Protocol, including its token treasury. As part of that role, the World Foundation is responsible for the capitalization of the project to ensure economical funding of the project’s operational and ecosystem needs. Where feasible, the project’s expenditures are settled in WLD, including Orb operator remuneration, ecosystem grants, and growth and integration partnerships.

The World Foundation is continually increasing the proportion of costs settled in WLD relative to fiat-based methods. A meaningful shift in this direction has come with a batch transfer of 93.7M WLD this week to Tools for Humanity (TFH), one of World’s core contributors, for the completion of several major project milestones across 2025. This is the first WLD settlement for TFH’s services. The milestones completed include launching Orb operations in several new markets, the completion of the new Orb design (aka Diamond) and manufacturing pipeline, surpassing goals of monthly active verified users (11M verified MAUs), launching the first L3 on World Chain (Mythical Games), and the integration of World ID into Razer’s gaming platform, amongst other notable milestones.
