World Turns Phantom Into a Fully Onchain Solana Prediction Market

By Isaac • July 1, 2026 1:02 pm • Comments

World went live on July 1, 2026 as a fully on-chain prediction market inside the Phantom wallet and at world.xyz.

Users can trade event contracts on crypto prices and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with sports, geopolitical, and macro markets planned.

Chainlink powers the market data and resolution. Phantom’s CASH stablecoin handles settlement.

The bigger story is where this trading happens. It lives inside the wallet people already hold their Solana tokens in.


CoinDesk added the key context on this story. CoinDesk is the launch anchor for World.

Its report says World is now live as a fully onchain Solana prediction market inside Phantom and at world.xyz. CoinDesk reported that Chainlink serves as World’s primary oracle infrastructure for market data and resolution, while Phantom’s CASH stablecoin is used as the settlement asset.

The initial markets include crypto price contracts and 2026 FIFA World Cup outcomes, with more sports, geopolitics, and macro markets planned. The report also says World positions, settlement, and redemptions occur fully onchain, which is the technical distinction from a normal wallet-hosted web product.

CoinDesk notes that World is not the only Solana-native prediction-market effort, pointing to Jupiter’s Forecast beta as a sign the category is heating up. For PCN readers, the main point is distribution: World is launching through Phantom’s wallet surface rather than asking users to adopt a separate prediction-market app first.


Phantom spells out how positions work and who is responsible for what.

Phantom Prediction Markets Disclosures added the key context on this story. Phantom’s own disclosure supplies the key risk and structure details.

It says prediction-market positions opened before June 1, 2026 used Kalshi through DFlow, while positions opened on or after June 1 are powered by World Prediction Markets. The disclosure describes World as a non-custodial protocol that routes orders to liquidity providers on Solana.

It says payouts for World-powered positions are redeemed automatically when the event ends, while settlement can still be affected by market movement, inaccurate data, or related conditions. Phantom also states that it does not offer gambling or games of chance, does not operate as a house, does not take the opposite side of user trades, and does not maintain a house edge.

The disclosure says Phantom does not custody user funds or tokenized prediction-market positions. That official language grounds the product’s legal and risk framing instead of treating the launch like a simple new trading tab.

Phantom Help added the key context on this story. Phantom’s help article explains the user-facing mechanics after the World launch.

It says prediction markets in Phantom let users trade on outcomes across sports, politics, crypto, and culture, with markets powered by World Prediction Markets on Solana. The help article says positions are represented by Solana SPL tokens in the user’s wallet, which is an important onchain detail.

It also says users can pay from a Cash balance, USDC, or another supported token, and that open positions automatically settle when the market ends. The help page adds important limits: prediction markets are only available through the Phantom mobile app and are available only in certain jurisdictions.

It warns that users can lose the amount spent if their prediction is wrong and that cash-out prices depend on current market liquidity. That makes the source essential for balancing the launch story with practical user-risk information.

Solana Compass added the key context on this story. Solana Compass gives the discovery and transition context before the official July 1 World launch.

Its report says Phantom’s disclosure page named World Prediction Markets as the protocol powering onchain prediction markets for positions opened on or after June 1. The report explains that World routes orders to outside liquidity providers on Solana and that positions are represented as SPL tokens.

It also says market resolution is handled by Chainlink oracles, which is the key infrastructure detail behind automatic settlement. Solana Compass compares the new World setup with Phantom’s earlier Kalshi/DFlow arrangement, where expired positions required a separate redemption trade.

That history matters because the launch is also a new brand appearing in Phantom. It changes the user flow from a wallet-connected prediction product into a more natively Solana settlement path.


World is a clean example of Solana infrastructure lining up in one product. Chainlink for data and resolution, SPL tokens for positions, a stablecoin for settlement, and a wallet that most Solana users already carry.

If prediction markets keep growing, the front door may be the wallet itself.
