TL;DR:
- World introduces MiniKit 2.0 under the EIP-1193 standard, allowing web applications to become Mini Apps with minimal changes to the original code.
- The World Chain update integrates Flashblocks, drastically reducing transaction confirmation times from 2 seconds to just 200 milliseconds.
- The ecosystem enables support for multiple regional stablecoins (wARS, wCOP, wMXN, among others) and offers gas sponsorship through ZeroDev and Privy.
World has deployed its new unified development tool. MiniKit 2.0 is designed to allow programmers to build applications once and deploy them simultaneously across the web and the World App.
This update arrives amid significant traction for the project. Market data reveals that Mini Apps recorded over 12.1 million opens in the last 7 days, reaching a historic milestone of 2.2 billion total interactions since their inception.
Furthermore, MiniKit 2.0 removes technical barriers by aligning development with the EIP-1193 standard. This ensures that applications function identically in both mobile and desktop environments, optimizing project scalability.
In addition, the network has bolstered its payment infrastructure. By adding support for localized stablecoins—such as EURC, wARS, and wBRL—developers can now offer financial experiences tailored to specific markets without needing to build complex payment infrastructures from scratch.
Technical Innovation and World Build Ecosystem Expansion
A fundamental aspect of this version is the improvement of the end-user experience. Thanks to Flashblocks technology, real-time interactions like gaming and trading are now much smoother due to extremely low latency.
Likewise, World has simplified onboarding through gas sponsorship. This system allows applications to cover user transaction fees, eliminating the need for new participants to hold native tokens to begin operating.
Finally, to drive growth, applications are now open for the World Build 3 program. This initiative offers cash prizes and technical support to teams utilizing the Proof of Personhood system to create high-impact applications.
The launch of MiniKit 2.0 represents a decisive step toward a scalable development environment, facilitating the creation of high-speed financial and social tools within the World Chain infrastructure.
