Bringing the World App to US Users with Coinbase Onramp
May 1, 2025
TL;DR US users can now access World App and fund their World App wallets directly from their bank accounts and cards using Coinbase Onramp.
We’re excited to share that World App now supports Coinbase Developer Platform’s Onramp, as it becomes available to US users for the first time. This makes it easier than ever to enter the World ecosystem and start participating in a decentralized economy.
With Coinbase Onramp built directly into the World App, users can now purchase USDC on Optimism using their favorite payment methods. From there, they can swap into the native token (WLD), to hold, earn with WLD Rewards or use in Mini Apps.
A simple path into the World ecosystem
With WorldApp’s US entry, American users can now access the WLD token and verify their World ID at several locations across the US. By using Coinbase as the primary onramp for USDC, users can:
Get started instantly: Fund a new World App wallet with USDC in just a few taps.
Swap easily: Convert USDC into WLD, the native token of the Worldcoin ecosystem.
Earn with WLD Rewards: Deposit into your WLD Vault to earn up rewards
Use World App Mini Apps: Interact with Mini Apps in World App
Verify with World ID: Visit an Orb to verify unique humanness, unlocking a growing ecosystem of apps — from social platforms to financial services — while keeping full control over your personal data.
And thanks to USDC, users benefit from a fast, low-cost, and widely accepted stablecoin - ideal for bridging into the broader World experience.
Powered by Coinbase Developer Platform
