Assessment
Nothing reaches WLD: World Chain gas is paid in ETH (~$0.22M of fees over the trailing year), and World ID fees in WLD are designed but not charged, with any burn left to a Foundation setting. Supply is the clean side: the non-upgradeable contract blocks any mint before Jul 24, 2038, then lets its owner Safe mint up to 1.5% a year. TFH team, investors and reserve hold 25%, and the World Foundation directs the 75% community pool, most still unreleased, so float is 38%. World Chain is Stage 0 with Foundation-controlled upgrades, and verification has stalled at 18.17M, against 17.0M on Oct 2, 2025.
How value reaches holders
Nothing reaches WLD: World Chain gas is paid in ETH (~$0.22M of fees over the trailing year, Oct 19, 2026), and the World Foundation subsidizes gas for verified humans. World ID 4.0 (Apr 2026) can enforce app-paid fees in WLD with a protocol fee the Foundation programs and 'may' partly burn; none is charged yet (WIP-107 still a draft). Flows run the other way: World Assets sold ~239M WLD OTC for $65M in Mar 2026 and paid TFH 93.7M WLD in Dec 2025
Score anatomy
Demand
6 / 45: the stronger of two routes, plus adoptionWhy would anyone hold it: does value reach the token, and is the network or product used today?
Approved or designed but inert, indirect sinks only, or flows into a treasury or endowment
Scored on World Chain gas (~$0.22M trailing year, paid in ETH); World ID fees have no paying volume yet, so World's illustrative $5 per verified user per year is not counted
Under $0.5M/yr, or emissions-subsidized onlyHow this is scored
World Chain gas is ETH and World ID fees are not live; no collateral use.

World ID verified users grew only 7% YoY to 18.2M with ~1.6K verifications a week; World Chain fees -61%

Soundness
16 / 40Can a long-term holder trust the rules: supply, float, distribution and control?
Zero issuance: the non-upgradeable contract blocks any mint before Jul 24, 2038, then lets its owner Safe mint up to 1.5%/yr with no vote (read Oct 2026).
Under 1%/yr net without a hard cap, a hard cap with halvings issuing 1-3%/yr, or zero issuance where binding on-chain token governance could vote to mint moremedium confidenceHow this is scored
Float 38% (3.82B of 10B); Foundation-released community tokens run ~2.9M WLD a day (~2.3% of float a month), and TFH tranches end ~Jul 2028.
1.5-3% of float unlocking per monthhigh confidenceHow this is scored
TFH team 9.8%, investors 13.5%, reserve 1.7% (25%), and the World Foundation directs the 75% community pool, most still unreleased (float 38%); no public sale
Insiders received over 50%, or one organization directs over 30% todayhigh confidenceHow this is scored
World Chain is Stage 0 with no exit window (withdrawals freeze if its permissioned proposer fails) and is run with World Foundation-controlled upgrades; the WLD ERC-20 itself is non-upgradeable
A halt, rollback or exploited consensus bug in the last 24 months, attack cost under $10M, or a foundation-selected validator set or small multisig can halt or upgrade with no meaningful exit windowmedium confidenceHow this is scored

What would move it up
To reach T3 Mixed, 2 gates are still open:
- Score 30needs 40(open)
- Value engine 0needs 2(open)
- Adoption 2gate 2(met)
- Supply 4gate 1(met)
Tier outlook
Could move up ↑low likelihood
- Engine rises only if World ID fees go live in WLD at scale and the protocol fee is burned by contract rather than by Foundation setting
- Revenue: disclosed fee revenue from Zoom, Tinder or the banking design partners (none priced as of Oct 18, 2026)
- Overhang: ~2.9M WLD a day of Foundation releases plus OTC tranche sales, with TFH tranches ending ~Jul 2028
- Security rises if World Chain adds an exit window and moves past Stage 0
- Usage: new Orb verifications against 18.17M verified on World's live counter
