Phantom Releases Prediction Market Disclosure
According to a prediction market disclosure statement published by crypto wallet application Phantom on June 24, the platform has confirmed that since June 1, 2026, all new prediction market positions are supported by World Prediction Markets (World). The statement also noted that historical positions prior to that date remain unaffected.
World Protocol: Non-Custodial Prediction Market on Solana
As detailed in the Phantom disclosure, World is a non-custodial prediction market protocol running on the Solana blockchain. The protocol handles order routing and automated settlement upon market expiration, allowing users to execute and settle transactions directly on-chain. Phantom integrates World purely as a front-end interface; it does not hold user funds, does not trade against users, and does not engage in market making. This architecture minimizes counterparty risk for the wallet provider.
Integration Background and Industry Significance
Phantom is one of the most widely used non-custodial wallets in the Solana ecosystem. By integrating prediction market functionality through World, Phantom expands the range of on-chain activities users can perform directly within the wallet. For the Solana prediction market vertical, World’s order routing and automated settlement mechanisms help improve market efficiency while preserving transparency. This move also reflects a broader trend where wallets evolve from simple asset storage tools into aggregated entry points for decentralized applications.
