World, a fully onchain prediction market native to Solana, has launched with a non-custodial design that keeps user funds in their wallets until they actively enter a market. The protocol operates on the Solana blockchain and does not hold assets on behalf of participants during the period before market entry.
The non-custodial architecture addresses a structural difference from many traditional prediction market platforms, which typically require users to deposit funds into a protocol-controlled account before trading. By deferring asset movement to the moment of market participation, World allows users to retain full control and custody of their capital until deployment.
The launch announcement emphasized the principle that prediction markets belong onchain, though specific details regarding market types, fee structures, and trading mechanics remain unclear from available information.
