World.xyz migrates prediction market from Solana to Robinhood Chain after one week
Prediction market platform World.xyz migrated its operation from Solana to Robinhood Chain one week after launching on Solana. The platform announced the shift following a 24-hour team review, with no public explanation given. World supports Phantom wallet and lets users trade cryptocurrency prices and event contracts. The move places the crypto-native venue on Robinhood's blockchain infrastructure. Yahoo Finance first reported the migration on July 8.
Phantom now faces a broken product promise. The wallet provider supported World's Solana-native infrastructure, only for World to abandon Solana for Robinhood Chain before any volume could prove the bet. Phantom's users who tapped into Worlds prediction market on Solana must now restart on unfamiliar infrastructure, or drift back to centralized venues.
For World, the chain-hopping without explanation erodes the trust that crypto-native settlement is supposed to replace. The platform risks becoming a case study in why wallet providers hesitate on unregistered backend partners: no regulatory recourse, and no infrastructure stability either. If volume does not follow this migration, Phantom may cut losses and return to a licensed exchange.
