World Chain's bridge TVL rises 33% to $602M as WLD rallies 50%

World Chain’s canonical bridge just locked up $602 million in total value, a 33% jump in a single week. The WLD token, meanwhile, has been on a tear, rallying as much as 50% in recent weeks.

The numbers behind the surge

World Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 built on the OP Stack, saw its bridged TVL climb from roughly $450M to $602M in just seven days. Total value secured across the network has surpassed $650 million, as tracked by L2Beat. DefiLlama data shows World Chain holding significant native token value of approximately $635 million, with smaller bridged DeFi TVL components rounding out the ecosystem.

The WLD token itself has been the main event. A 47.2% gain over seven days in late May 2026 set the stage for the current momentum, and the token has continued pushing higher into mid-June.
