## EURC-Driven Euro Payment Ecosystem Launches on World Chain

**Circle** and **World Chain** have teamed up to introduce a comprehensive on-chain euro payment and storage solution for users worldwide. By deploying the **EURC** stablecoin on a new Layer-2 network, this collaboration aims to bring standardized digital euro transactions to a verified user base.

## Who Can Use This System?

**World Chain** is built on the **World ID** human verification system, which currently covers over **37 million** **World App** users, including **17.5 million verified users** from **more than 160 countries**. This large and gradually expanding user base provides strong momentum for euro on-chain activities. Verified users can now directly transfer euros on **World Chain**, participate in DeFi strategies, and store value long-term.

## Core Attributes of EURC

**EURC**, issued by **Circle**, is a **fully reserve-backed and compliant euro stablecoin**. The asset has received **MiCA** standard certification, supports 1:1 euro redemption, and can operate across six blockchains, including **World Chain**. For institutions seeking to establish trusted on-chain payment infrastructure, **Circle Mint** offers dedicated minting and redemption channels to support large-scale transactions.

## Practical Use Cases

This system unlocks new possibilities in multiple directions:

- **Peer-to-Peer Verified Payments**: Leveraging **World ID** verification, **EURC** can securely circulate between users, significantly reducing risks of scams and Sybil attacks.
- **DeFi Native Euro Assets**: Developers now have the opportunity to build lending, trading, and derivatives products based on stable euros, laying the foundation for euro-oriented liquidity pools.
- **Cross-Border and Emerging Market Storage**: Compared to local currencies, users can choose to hold digital euros as a more stable store of value.

## Pathways for Developers and Businesses

Development teams eager to experiment can obtain test tokens via **Circle Faucet** to prototype payment flows on the **World Chain** testnet. For enterprises requiring large-scale minting or redemption of **EURC**, they can apply to access **Circle Mint**'s mechanism system. **Circle** also provides integration documentation and technical support to facilitate rapid deployment.

## Liquidity and Ecosystem Outlook

As more applications integrate **EURC**, the euro payment and clearing functions within **World App**, **World Wallet**, and other ecosystem products will undergo significant upgrades. This collaboration combines **standardized** on-chain euros with a large verified user base, opening a convenient channel for global users to participate in euro transactions, savings, and DeFi services on the blockchain.
