World App: Adding 80+ Assets Without Liquidity Pools

World App integrated the Universal API to give their users access to dozens of new assets - without funding liquidity pools.

The Challenge

World App wanted to expand their asset selection. Users were asking for tokens like SOL, DOGE, and XRP - assets that didn't exist natively on World's chain.

The traditional approach would require sourcing wrapped versions of each asset, then funding DEX liquidity pools to ensure users could actually trade. That's expensive, slow, and doesn't scale.

The Solution

World integrated the Universal API - a simple RFQ system that provides instant access to 80+ assets with deep liquidity.

No pool management. No liquidity mining. Just an API call that returns a quote and settles the trade.

The Results

World has rolled out dozens of uAssets to their users. Tens of thousands of people now hold assets that simply weren't available before - SOL, DOGE, XRP, and more.

Every trade is backed 1:1 by reserves in Coinbase Prime custody. World didn't have to spend a dollar on liquidity incentives.
