What is World Chain?#
World Chain is an EVM-equivalent Ethereum layer 2 built with the OP Stack. It has its own layer 2 state, contracts, bridges, and fee behavior. CenturionDEX does not operate on World Chain.
How World Chain works#
An OP Stack rollup processes transactions on layer 2 and publishes data or commitments used to derive and settle state on Ethereum. A sequencer orders layer 2 transactions, while bridge and settlement contracts coordinate movement between layers.
EVM equivalence helps applications and wallets use familiar execution behavior. It does not make World Chain interchangeable with Centurion or any other EVM-compatible network.
Centurion is a Proof-of-Stake layer 1 using the CVM, CTN, Newton fee accounting, CRC token standards, and mainnet chain ID 286.
What this means for CenturionDEX#
Centurion Protocol v2 and v3 contracts, pools, and liquidity positions are on Centurion. World Chain applications use separate deployments and cannot be reached by switching CenturionDEX to that network.
If a wallet prompt requests World Chain while you are trying to use CenturionDEX, stop and verify the interface. The correct mainnet prompt should identify Centurion and chain ID 286.
Moving assets across networks#
A bridge transaction is not an ordinary send. It can involve contracts on both the source and destination networks, waiting periods, relayers, and token representations.
Before any cross-network transfer, verify:
- The route officially supports Centurion and the exact asset.
- Source and destination contract addresses.
- Whether the destination receives a native or wrapped token.
- Approval amounts and bridge authority.
- Recovery and finality conditions.
Do not assume that a World Chain address can directly receive a Centurion asset merely because it uses the same 0x format.
Common issues#
- A World Chain token is not visible on Centurion: chain state is separate.
- The same token symbol appears on both networks: verify contracts and issuer records.
- A bridge route is advertised in a direct message: use official sources and independently verify it.
- A transaction was signed on the wrong chain: review approvals and contact the receiving service if one controls the destination.
- A site claims CenturionDEX supports World Chain pools: treat the claim as false unless current official Centurion information explicitly changes.
Stay safe#
Review network prompts, contract calls, and bridge approvals. Never share a recovery phrase, private key, or password with anyone offering World Chain or Centurion support.
