Migrate Mini App to Standalone Web App

You are converting a World App mini app to also work in a regular browser. MiniKit commands auto-detect the environment — inside World App they use the native bridge, outside they fall back to Wagmi. Follow these steps in order.

Step 1 — Install dependencies

pnpm add wagmi @tanstack/react-query siwe

• wagmi — wallet connection and transaction execution on web
• @tanstack/react-query — peer dependency of wagmi
• siwe — needed for walletAuth SIWE message construction on web

Step 2 — Create Wagmi config

// config.ts
import { worldApp } from '@worldcoin/minikit-js/wagmi';
import { createConfig, http } from 'wagmi';
import { worldchain } from 'wagmi/chains';
import { injected } from 'wagmi/connectors';

export const config = createConfig({
  chains: [worldchain],
  connectors: [worldApp(), injected()],
  transports: {
    [worldchain.id]: http(),
  },
});

worldApp() handles World App, injected() handles browser wallets (MetaMask, etc).

Step 3 — Update providers

Wrap with WagmiProvider and QueryClientProvider, and pass wagmiConfig to MiniKitProvider:

'use client';
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { MiniKitProvider } from '@worldcoin/minikit-js/minikit-provider';
import { WagmiProvider } from 'wagmi';
import { config } from './config';

const queryClient = new QueryClient();

export default function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <WagmiProvider config={config}>
      <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
        <MiniKitProvider
          props={{
            appId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_ID!,
            wagmiConfig: config,
          }}
        >
          {children}
        </MiniKitProvider>
      </QueryClientProvider>
    </WagmiProvider>
  );
}

MiniKitProvider calls setWagmiConfig(config) internally which registers the Wagmi fallback adapter. WagmiProvider and QueryClientProvider are needed for Wagmi hooks like useWaitForTransactionReceipt.

Step 4 — Auth works automatically

MiniKit.walletAuth() requires no code changes:

• World App: native SIWE flow via Smart Account (Safe)
• Web: connects via Wagmi connector, signs SIWE message

const result = await MiniKit.walletAuth({
  nonce,
  statement: 'Sign in to my app',
});
// result.executedWith === "minikit" | "wagmi"

Backend verification handles both account types

verifySiweMessage from @worldcoin/minikit-js/siwe auto-detects:

• Smart Account (Safe): EIP-1271 isValidSignature on-chain
• EOA: ECDSA recoverMessageAddress

import { verifySiweMessage } from '@worldcoin/minikit-js/siwe';

const { isValid, siweMessageData } = await verifySiweMessage(
  payload, // { message, signature, address }
  nonce,
);

No branching needed — it checks if the address has contract code and picks the right method.

Step 5 — Transactions work automatically

MiniKit.sendTransaction() requires no code changes. World Chain only (chainId 480).

• World App: native bridge, supports batching, returns userOpHash
• Web (single tx): sent directly via Wagmi wallet
• Web (multiple txs): executed sequentially — each requires wallet confirmation (not atomic)

import { MiniKit } from '@worldcoin/minikit-js';
import { encodeFunctionData } from 'viem';

const result = await MiniKit.sendTransaction({
  chainId: 480,
  transactions: [
    {
      to: PERMIT2,
      data: encodeFunctionData({
        abi: permit2Abi,
        functionName: 'approve',
        args: [TOKEN, SPENDER, amount, 0],
      }),
    },
    {
      to: CONTRACT,
      data: encodeFunctionData({
        abi: contractAbi,
        functionName: 'swap',
        args: [amount],
      }),
    },
  ],
});

Handle transaction receipts by environment

import { useUserOperationReceipt } from '@worldcoin/minikit-react';

const { poll } = useUserOperationReceipt({ client });

if (result.executedWith === 'minikit') {
  // World App: poll for UserOperation receipt
  await poll(result.data.userOpHash);
} else {
  // Web: standard tx hash
  await publicClient.waitForTransactionReceipt({
    hash: result.data.userOpHash as `0x${string}`,
  });
}

Step 6 — World ID needs no changes

World ID uses IDKit, which is independent of the wallet layer. It works the same everywhere.

Step 7 — Other commands need fallbacks

Commands without built-in Wagmi adapters (pay, shareContacts, sendHapticFeedback, etc.) need a fallback function for web:

const result = await MiniKit.pay({
  amount: '1.00',
  token: 'USDCE',
  reference: 'order-123',
  description: 'Coffee',
  fallback: async () => {
    // Custom web payment flow
    return myCustomPaymentResult;
  },
});

Without a fallback, these throw CommandUnavailableError on web.
