Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to “Yes” if the total number of unique humans displayed on the official World website exceeds 30,000,000 by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, it will resolve to “No.” The resolution source is the official World website, available at https://world.org/, specifically the “Unique humans” figure shown on the homepage. This market is based solely on the “Unique humans” figure displayed on the official World website (https://world.org/), not on data from third-party analytics dashboards, or unofficial sources.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.
Market outcomes
| Over 30M humans verified on World Network by December 31? | 46% YES | 54% NO |
World, the identity verification platform backed by Sam Altman, will need to reach 30 million verified users by the end of 2026 to settle this market affirmatively. The platform launched publicly in 2023 and has been expanding its verification infrastructure globally, with particular focus on emerging markets where identity documentation is fragmented. The current crowd-implied probability of 30% on Polymarket reflects substantial scepticism about achieving this tenfold growth trajectory within the remaining timeframe.
Comparable identity verification platforms provide context for evaluating this threshold. Stripe's identity verification service processes millions of verifications annually but operates within established financial infrastructure; World's challenge is broader, requiring verification across populations with varying documentation standards. The platform reported several million verified users in 2024, suggesting it would need to accelerate adoption significantly. Historical adoption curves for identity platforms show rapid early growth followed by plateaus as they exhaust addressable markets in developed regions, making the 30 million target dependent on sustained momentum in developing economies where verification infrastructure remains nascent.
Traders should monitor World's quarterly user disclosures, partnership announcements with governments or financial institutions, and regulatory developments affecting identity verification in key markets. Recent expansion efforts in Latin America and Southeast Asia will be critical catalysts. The settlement window closing on 1 January 2027 leaves approximately one year for verification; the order book's current pricing suggests the market is pricing in execution risks around scaling verification infrastructure and user acquisition costs at the required velocity.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
