|
|
||
| This page is for developers building a Mini App for [MiniPay](https://www.opera.com/products/minipay), the stablecoin wallet from Opera. It covers only what is specific to Celo. The build, test and submit lifecycle is documented by the MiniPay team at [docs.minipay.xyz](https://docs.minipay.xyz/); the index at the end of this page lists every page there so you — or your coding agent — can see what is available without leaving this site. | ||
|
|
||
| MiniPay runs only on Celo (mainnet) and Celo Sepolia (testnet). It has more than 20M wallet activations in 70+ countries, a built-in Mini App discovery page, and ships inside the Opera Mini Android browser and as a standalone app for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.minipay) and [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/de/app/minipay-easy-global-wallet/id6504087257?l=en-GB). Balances are shown in the user's local currency, the wallet is 2 MB, and phone numbers can stand in for addresses. Mini Apps connect to the wallet automatically on page load; there is no connect button and no sign-in step. | ||

| MiniPay shares the kinds of Mini Apps it is prioritizing, and where it is heading, in its quarterly updates on the Celo forum. Check the [latest MiniPay update](https://forum.celo.org/search?q=%22MiniPay%20Update%22%20%40opera_minipay%20order%3Alatest) before you pick what to build. | ||

| <Warning> | ||
| DeFi apps (lending, borrowing, savings and similar) are for projects with a long-term background in DeFi only, to ensure the highest quality and security for users. They also need the licenses required in every market they operate in and their own liquidity. | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment. Who sets this bar, MiniPay or the Celo team? MiniPay's submission requirements (https://docs.minipay.xyz/getting-started/submit-your-miniapp.html) don't mention DeFi, licensing or liquidity, and the Q3 update linked just above names savings among MiniPay's best categories. Starting the sentence with "MiniPay only lists..." or "We recommend..." would settle it. @GigaHierz, since the rule came from you, can you confirm which one it is? Fine as a follow-up. |

Nit: right after quoting MiniPay's docs saying Mini Apps should use USDT, USDC or USDm only, "check MiniPay's docs before pricing a Mini App in USA₮" reads oddly. Maybe: "Until MiniPay's docs list USA₮ for Mini Apps, price a Mini App in USDT, USDC or USDm."
