MiniKit 2.0 Introduces Faster Transactions and Unified Development Across World Chain

A unified framework for building and scaling apps

Following the recent launch of AgentKit in collaboration with Coinbase, World has introduced MiniKit 2.0 as part of its broader effort to streamline development across its ecosystem. The update is designed to remove the need for separate builds across web and wallet environments by standardizing how applications are deployed on World.

MiniKit 2.0 aligns with Ethereum’s EIP-1193 standard, allowing developers to create applications that function consistently across both web platforms and the World App. In some cases, existing applications can be adapted into Mini Apps with only minimal changes, reducing development overhead and shortening deployment timelines.

Applications running inside the World App now mirror their standalone web versions, enabling teams to expand from initial launches to full-scale deployments without rewriting core functionality. This unified approach simplifies testing, distribution, and ongoing updates for consumer-facing applications.

The release comes as usage of Mini Apps continues to grow. Over a seven-day period, these applications recorded more than 12.1 million opens, with cumulative usage surpassing 2.2 billion interactions, pointing to increasing activity across the ecosystem.

MiniKit 2.0 also introduces broader support for localized payments. Developers can now integrate additional stablecoins, including wARS, wCOP, wMXN, wBRL, wPEN, wCLP, and EURC, into their applications. This allows for region-specific payment options without requiring teams to build and maintain separate infrastructure for each market.

Performance improvements are another key part of the update. World Chain now incorporates Flashblocks, reducing transaction confirmation times from as much as two seconds to roughly 200 milliseconds. The change supports applications that rely on near-instant responsiveness, such as trading tools and interactive experiences.

To simplify onboarding, gas sponsorship is now supported through Privy, using ZeroDev’s account abstraction infrastructure. This allows developers to cover transaction fees on behalf of users, removing the need for pre-funded wallets or manual fee management.

Alongside the technical release, World has opened applications for World Build 3, its developer program supporting teams building on World Chain and its proof-of-human infrastructure. Previous participants have collectively raised more than $15 million while launching applications used by millions of verified users.

The bottom line

MiniKit 2.0 builds on recent ecosystem developments, including the rollout of AgentKit, by focusing on reducing friction for developers and users alike. With faster transaction speeds, cross-platform compatibility, and simplified payments, the update provides a more consistent framework for building and scaling applications on World Chain.
