The next generation of apps won’t just go viral. They’ll grow through verified humans, programmable wallets, and seamless global onboarding.

We're excited to announce a new campaign empowering developers to create and launch mini apps in World App using Dynamic. Whether you're an early-stage builder or part of a seasoned team, this is your chance to experiment, grow, and launch apps that truly matter. Identity and wallet infra included.

What Are Mini Apps and Why Do They Matter?

Mini apps are lightweight, embedded applications that live inside larger apps like World App. Think of them as micro-products or tools with their own logic and interface that can be easily discoverable through a trusted platform.

Here’s what makes them important:

  • Distribution: World App has more than 26M verified users and counting. Mini apps live directly inside that experience, bringing built-in discovery and usage.
  • Verifiable identity: Every user has a World ID: a privacy-preserving way to prove they’re a real, unique human.
  • Composability: Mini apps can integrate wallets, stablecoins, social logins, and smart contracts for powerful and programmable flows.

Mini apps are reshaping what it means to build for identity, scale, and global reach. They give developers the tools to create secure, human-centered experiences that are instantly accessible to millions of users worldwide.

Powering Identity-Integrated Mini Apps with Dynamic

Dynamic gives developers a complete toolkit to launch mini apps that combine identity and wallets into a unified experience. Verify users with World ID to ensure one human per account without collecting personal data. Use that verified identity to power access, rewards, votes, or any flow where trust and uniqueness matter.

  • Simplified embedded wallets: Dynamic lets you spin up non-custodial embedded wallets instantly without extensions. Users can also connect external wallets like MetaMask or skip setup entirely and onboard with just an email or social account.
  • Global payments and token flows: Send and receive stablecoins like USDC or USDT across EVM and Solana chains with no extra integrations. Power programmable interactions like airdrops, tipping, yield distribution, or cross-app token flows using a unified wallet layer.
  • A developer experience built for speed: From branded onboarding flows to real-time analytics, Dynamic is built to help you ship fast. You can embed your app into World App in minutes, not weeks.
  • Human-first: With native World ID support, your app can verify that each user is a real and unique person. You can gate access, rewards, or governance without collecting or storing personal data.

The Role that Stablecoins Play in Mini Apps

By combining proof-of-personhood with programmable wallets and stablecoins, it becomes possible to build systems that are both inclusive and fraud-resistant. Dynamic turns this vision into something builders can launch today.

The impact is massive:

  • People without bank accounts can participate in digital economies using just a wallet
  • Sybil-resistant identity reduces fraud, spam, and exploitation
  • Trust becomes programmable allowing for more accountable voting and rewards
  • New economic models become possible because users are verified as unique humans

  2. Education and Credentialing: Projects can offer stablecoin rewards for verified course completions and reputation-based benefits, using World ID to confirm user uniqueness without compromising privacy.
  3. Peer-to-Peer Donations: Donors can send aid directly to verified individuals in underserved regions using stablecoins for instant and transparent transfers.
  4. Reputation-Based Ratings: By linking reputation scores to real users, apps can gate access to financial products based on identity-anchored credibility.
  5. Onboarding Campaigns and Quests: Create gamified onboarding flows that reward real users for completing on-chain actions, using Dynamic to track wallet behavior and session logic for deeper engagement.
