World.fun rolls out new launch model with debut of AI Shark Tank

Key Takeaways

World.fun introduced World Launch, a new model where users interact with AI products before tokens go live, starting with AI Shark Tank.
The $SHARK token will launch paired with $AWE, with allocations based on user participation rather than presale.

World.fun unveiled World Launch, a new way to release AI native onchain projects, where each launch begins with a working product before the token goes live.

The platform is the first discovery hub for Autonomous Worlds, allowing users to explore, interact with, and influence large-scale AI-driven simulations.

World Launches reverse the typical presale flow by letting users interact with the product before the token becomes available.

Each launch includes a live experience, a campaign window that tracks participation, and a token allocation model tied to user contributions. Tokens are launched with real liquidity paired with $AWE, the core token powering the entire Autonomous Worlds ecosystem.

The first World Launch kicked off earlier today with the debut of AI Shark Tank on World.fun, a live show where real founders pitch to AI judges trained on top Web3 investors.

Through the AIShark.fun app, users can interact with agents, vote on project pitches, and influence onchain verdicts. Alongside the launch, the $SHARK token presale went live, targeting 2 million $AWE at a price of $0.05 on Base.

Instead of paying to list or front-running a presale, contributors earn $SHARK based on participation during the campaign window. Half the raise is reserved for whitelisted users, including early participants and partner communities, while the other half is open to the public on a pro rata basis.

Whitelist and public sale run simultaneously, and final allocations are calculated once the window closes. Tokens will be airdropped automatically after liquidity is added to Aerodrome on Base. The LP will include 1,000,000 $SHARK paired with 1.6 million $AWE, and it will be locked for 10 years.

World.fun is built around the belief that AI-native experiences require a launch model that rewards discovery, interaction, and contribution. New Worlds will go live monthly, each backed by a doxxed AI-experienced team and a usable product at launch. Every World will follow the same logic: experience first, participation rewarded, tokens earned.
