To expand beyond traditional messaging, Sudo integrates a Mini-App System that enables third-party developers and dApps to embed micro-experiences directly into chat interfaces. This evolution transforms Sudo from a simple communication tool into a full-scale Web3 super-app, where DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and gaming utilities are accessible without leaving the chat environment.
Mini-Apps are lightweight, interactive applications that run inside Sudo groups, channels, or direct messages. They are built using React combined with Web3.js or Ethers.js, with optional TON/WalletConnect integrations. They are hosted securely through iframes or webviews and can be accessed based on token-gating rules, smart contract interactions, or group roles.
Examples of Mini-App Usage:
Polls and interactive surveys.
DAO governance voting interfaces.
Staking and DeFi dashboards.
NFT reveal and minting portals.
Community quiz games and airdrops.
Sudo’s Mini-App Marketplace allows users and community admins to browse, enable, and manage in-chat apps. The marketplace is curated to ensure quality and safety.
Examples of Mini-App Categories:
Community: Quizzes, reward claims, leaderboards, and task boards.
Finance: Token swaps, yield dashboards, vault status monitors, and wallet statistics.
NFTs: Mint reveal portals, trait filtering tools, and NFT gifting utilities.
DAO Tools: Proposal interfaces, funding request systems, and voting integrations.
Admins can configure permissions, triggers, and usage rules for each Mini-App they install.
Each Mini-App is sandboxed in isolation to prevent unauthorized access to user data or malicious code execution. API calls made by Mini-Apps must be cryptographically signed using the group or channel’s Web3 identity. Only approved apps can be enabled within a group, and access can be restricted by role, such as viewer, editor, or admin.
Developers can build, test, and publish their Mini-Apps using Sudo’s development tools. The SDK is JavaScript-based, supporting secure wallet connections and API integrations. A dedicated CLI is available for packaging, deploying, and updating Mini-Apps. Pre-built UI kits and templates are provided for faster development of chat-embedded applications.
Developers can monetize their Mini-Apps through usage-based fees, earning SUDO tokens based on user activity and engagement.
The Mini-App and Web3 plugin ecosystem allows users to interact with DeFi, NFT, and DAO protocols without leaving the Sudo chat environment. This creates a “super-app” experience where messaging, transactions, governance, and entertainment coexist seamlessly. The system promotes ecosystem stickiness, increasing daily active use and viral growth while generating additional token demand through Mini-App fees and burns.
