World has released a toolkit that lets developers convert web apps into Mini Apps with minimal code changes and full compatibility with Ethereum’s EIP‑1193 standard.
Ecosystem Growth and ScalabilitySam Altman’s World has unveiled a technical upgrade to World Chain that allows developers to transform existing web applications into Mini Apps with as little as two lines of code. Known as Minikit 2.0, the upgrade standardizes development across the ecosystem by aligning with Ethereum’s EIP-1193 standard, enabling a “build once, deploy everywhere” workflow.
In tandem with the new toolkit, World announced the opening of applications for World Build 3, its developer program. The initiative has become a significant force in the industry; previous participants have raised more than $15 million from venture capital firms to build on World’s “proof of human” infrastructure.
The third cohort is structured to accelerate project growth through a rigorous global schedule that starts with a four-day hackathon with a $20,000 prize pool. This is followed by an intensive in-person sprint hosted in Seoul, a three-month incubation period for scaling applications, and a final showcase to investors in San Francisco.
