Alchemy’s 4-Month Free Infrastructure Play Sparks Gold Rush for US Mini-App Developers
Web3’s backbone just cut the cord on dev costs—Alchemy dangles free infrastructure for 120 days, and suddenly every VC-backed founder remembers how to code.
Mini-apps are about to flood the US market like meme coins on a bull run. The catch? Most will vanish faster than a trader’s profits during a leverage wipeout.
USERS
The solution? Build a Mini App on World App with us and get real users.
The @Worldcoin ecosystem connects you directly to 12M+ verified/unique humans.
No bots. No manipulation. Just real people ready to use what you… — Alchemy (@Alchemy) May 6, 2025
Now, the new initiative provides developers with up to four months of free access to Alchemy’s infrastructure, compute credits, engineering support, and marketplace access. This includes co-marketing, in-person events, and “partner amplification.”
The campaign is available specifically to developers building human-first Mini Apps for the network of 26 million users.
Additionally, World’s Mini App developer rewards program still offers up to $25,000 per week in WLD token incentives. Per the team, these are reserved for the high-performing projects that bring utility to the World App ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the team notes that World ranks among the top ten most-used rollups worldwide. It has processed over 350 million transactions from 26 million users. Alchemy’s infrastructure powers this performance and expands access for U.S. residents.

The announcement argues that the initiative launches at “a critical moment for American leadership in emerging technologies.” Per the team, U.S. policymakers are urging domestic innovation.
At the same time, World is backed by Alchemy’s U.S.-built infrastructure, giving it a leg up in the region.
Building a Mini App on World App is simpler than you think.

With World’s US launch, the platform has become accessible to over 340 million residents nationwide. Developers in this country can leverage the same infrastructure powering,,, and World.
These span CORE services such as node infrastructure, data indexing, account abstraction, and more, the announcement says.
Jonathan Kau, Head of Rollups at Alchemy, stated, “World is already seeing real traction in the US, and this is just the beginning.”
Meanwhile, Mini Apps are modular applications built on World App and secured by World ID. The latter solution allows users to anonymously and securely verify that each is a real and unique human.
Therefore, Mini Apps allow developers to build use cases for these verified humans, including payments, DeFi, games, social platforms, and more.
At the time of writing, the WLD token trades at $0.8858, unchanged over the past day. It has decreased by 20% in a week and by 85.5% in a year. The coin has also appreciated by 26% in a month and it hit its all-time high of $11.74 in March 2024—falling 92.4% since then.
