The deception proved believable due to the rise of Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum-based Layer 2 that recently reached a record daily volume of $563.9 million. The campaign achieved its goal: getting a platform that is only a week old to gain massive media exposure. However, criticism was quick to follow from users who believe that this type of strategy erodes trust in financial platforms handling real bets.
After the truth was uncovered, the ecosystem is now debating the limits of media attention at the cost of credibility. The next step for World will be to demonstrate the real value of its product on Solana and regain technical reliability against its competitors.
