World Releases MiniKit 2.0 to Unify Web and World App Development

Overview

  • World launched MiniKit 2.0 on World Chain to let developers build once for the web and World App.
  • The framework follows Ethereum’s EIP-1193 wallet interface, which reduces custom code and lets some apps convert with only a few lines.
  • Flashblocks now confirms transactions in about 200 milliseconds, which helps real-time apps like games and trading tools.
  • Gas sponsorship through Privy using ZeroDev’s account abstraction lets developers pay users’ fees to ease first-time use.
  • World opened applications for World Build 3, a program with a four-day hackathon, a Seoul build week, a three-month virtual phase, and a San Francisco demo day.
