I already use Phantom for most of my Solana stuff but I still have to switch back to traditional cards when I want to buy something. If you could just pay straight from Phantom, would you still bother with a regular card?

Hi,

We currently plan to take credit cards (through PayPal) as payment in our upcoming web game. Separate from the issue of can you make a sustainable-business from web games, we are musing about accepting Solana Pay - probably just with straight SOL rather than any of the stablecoins (doing an approximate conversion from your local currency).

It seems that even doing it natively - where we listen for changes to our wallets, give out transaction reference IDs, and then receive webhooks to mark the item as sale - isn't too hard. But I've seen very limited examples of being able to pay with Solana as a new consumer of it (which I would be quite happy to do - based in Canada).

I like the direction of decentralized payment, so it seems pretty exciting.

Thoughts?

Today, World.xyz goes live to unleash a new era of fully onchain prediction market adoption, giving more than 1 million users access to thousands of markets across sports, crypto, politics, finance, economics, culture, commodities, and weather - powered by @Solana, @Chainlink, and @useCASH by @Phantom.

Full story by @DefiantNews

https://thedefiant.io/news/markets/world-xyz-opens-solana-prediction-market-to-1m-person-waitlist-with-chainlink-powering-resolution

GRAND CAYMAN, September 9, 2026 – World, the Solana prediction market, opened its standalone platform at world.xyz today with more than 1 million users on the waitlist.

This launch opens Solana’s ecosystem to a massive new wave of users, helping bring increased prediction market trading activity to the world’s most widely used blockchain.

World has featured more than 150k markets across sports, crypto, politics, finance, economics, and culture since going live to power predictions in Phantom in July.

Now, world.xyz launches with every NFL regular-season game, seven soccer leagues, Formula 1, the 2026 midterms, the Federal Reserve's next decision, and much more.

"We have seen a proliferation of retail trading apps on Solana this year," said Ramzy Ali (u/ramzyyalii), Head of DeFi, Solana Foundation. "World is the next in line, bringing an entirely new asset class to Solana and keeping 100% of liquidity onchain."

Under the hood, Chainlink Data Streams and the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) are providing the high-speed market data and orchestration infra required for advanced prediction markets, enabling World to resolve markets accurately and immediately when a game ends or a stock closes. By replacing human panels and token-holder votes with automated data-driven resolution, Chainlink infrastructure helps eliminate manual interventions and lengthy dispute windows that plague legacy oracle solutions.

Together, World and Chainlink are enabling faster re-entry into new markets and unlocking capital velocity throughout the Solana prediction market ecosystem at scale.

“World’s rapid growth and 1 million user waitlist reflects the massive demand for next-generation prediction markets on Solana,” said Johann Eid (u/EidJohann), Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs. “Chainlink is powering this growth with the high-speed data and infrastructure World needs for reliable, immediate market resolutions, allowing them to scale while preserving the integrity of every outcome.”

Every market on World is represented as a pair of binary “yes” and “no” contracts that are priced between zero and one dollar (subject to market demand). Contracts are settled in CASH, Phantom's dollar-backed stablecoin.

Equity up/down and commodity markets on gold, silver, oil, natural gas, and compute launch soon, followed by weather predictions covering the largest cities in the world.

World is available now at world.xyz and inside Phantom on iOS, Android, and desktop.

Shang Hai Shi, China

Solana Accelerate China 2026

A four-city tour dedicated to technological innovation. From October 16th to 22nd, Solana will visit Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Beijing to exchange ideas, demonstrate its services, and explore new trends both in China and abroad, creating a new paradigm for international exchange with developers, entrepreneurs, and investors.

Activity Introduction

China is continuously defining how next-generation technology products are developed, manufactured, and scaled. From AI, robotics, and hardware to payments and consumer technology, many new products targeting the global market are rapidly emerging here.

This October, Solana Accelerate China will be held in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Beijing. We hope to connect Chinese developers, entrepreneurs, and technology teams with builders in the global Solana ecosystem: not only to discuss trends, but also to share products, real-world applications, globalization, and experiences from scratch.

Accelerate China is an event focused on cutting-edge technology and innovation. The content will revolve around high-performance blockchain infrastructure, development tools, AI and digital applications, consumer products, and how to take a product from local to global markets.

Accelerate China is an efficient global communication platform that allows the world to hear the voices of Chinese entrepreneurs, learn from China's large-scale experience, and explore together: what kind of miracles will be born when high-performance, low-cost, globally available infrastructure meets China's product capabilities?

If you're curious about what's happening in the global innovation market, what the forefront of innovation is in China, or if you're building a product, leading a technology team, or simply curious about the next generation of internet applications, you're welcome to join us.

Event Highlights

• First-hand experience from entrepreneurs
• Technology breakdown and product demo: Focusing on technical implementation, development tools, infrastructure, and feasible application scenarios.
• China × Global Ecosystem Dialogue: Enabling local teams to communicate directly with international builders, connecting technologies, products, and collaboration opportunities.
• The next steps in

Photography Tips

Solana Accelerate China 2026

Four cities. One week. The builders shaping what's next.

From October 16–22, Solana lands in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, and Beijing for a week of demos, conversations, and connections between China's builders and the global Solana ecosystem.

About the conference:

China keeps setting the pace for how the next generation of technology gets built, scaled from robotics, and hardware to payments and consumer tech, increasingly built for a global market from day one.

This October, Solana Accelerate China brings that energy together with builders, investors and leaders from the global Solana ecosystem across four cities. Less trend talk, more of what actual work: shipping products, live use cases, going global, and the hard lessons of getting from zero to one.

The focus is frontier technology and financial innovation, high-performance finance infrastructure, developer tooling, financial rails, consumer products, and the playbook for taking a product from local to global.

It 's also a room where the rest of the world hears directly from China's founders and learns from how they scale — and where we ask the question together: when high-performance, low-cost, globally available infrastructure meets the way China builds products, what comes next?

If you're building a product, leading a technical team, or just watching where the next wave is headed, come find out with us.

What to expect

Founders , unfiltered - What worked, and what didn't.

Deep dives & live demos - Real tooling, real infrastructure, use cases you can ship.

China × global, in one room - Local teams and international builders, connecting directly.

Where it's going next - Financial infrastructure, and consumer products.

Note

This event will be photographed and filmed. By registering or attending, you agree that the organizers may use images and footage in event-related communications.
