Re-inventing thirdweb for the AI era
We’ve rebuilt the thirdweb developer platform to meet the moment: for the AI-native era where developers are building apps, agents, and automated systems that need seamless tools to manage users, handle payments, and tokenize their products and services.
Why are we making these changes?
The future of development isn’t just human-written. It’s AI-assisted, LLM-generated, and agent-executed. We have been iterating on this direction for the past few weeks with the introduction of Build, Monetize, Scale and changes in the dashboard, our documentation, and our upgraded API to help both users and agents understand how to work with our suite.
All of these changes have prepared us to
- Work towards making thirdweb feel like one product to be LLM-friendly, easy to describe in natural language, easy to use programmatically.
- Streamline the mental model across all surfaces so humans and agents can navigate and reason about it without context-switching.
- Introduce an API to create and manage wallets, deploy contracts, send transactions, and more so you can get started and build up as you scale.
- Introduce support for MCP servers and agent workflows, so you can hook into LLMs, automate flows, build agents, and go from prompt → production.
What’s Changed
- New Project and documentation organization→ Projects and docs are now organized to follow the new product structure
- Introducing an new unified API→ We created a new API which covers all services with a simplified interface
- Optimized for AI→ MCP server and Agent-friendly APIs that let you build AI workflows with ease
What’s Coming Up
- Webhooks for all services
Every existing and upcoming thirdweb service will have webhook support for agents and apps to subscribe to real-time onchain activity and trigger custom logic as it happens. - 📚 AI-Optimized Documentation
We’re reworking our docs to be more LLM-friendly and easier for AI to parse, reference, and build with. Think: simplified schemas, build with AI tools directly in docs, and more. - Improvements to our underlying SDKs and Infrastructure. More features and performance improvements are in queue for our SDKs so users can add on more improvements and functionality to their existing projects without rebuilding from the ground up.
Getting started
- Create a new or use an existing project in the thirdweb dashboard
- Discover the new API: authenticate using your project’s secret key and start exploring the new endpoints for Wallets, Contracts, Payments, etc. See the documentation reference.
- Work with AI: test the MCP server in your favorite LLM client, or inject our new llms.txt and build apps in minutes
⚠️ Heads up for existing users
If you’re already using our APIs or SDKs, no action is required.
- You can continue using your existing setup
- Gradual adoption is supported, if desired, and you can migrate endpoint-by-endpoint if you like
- Your current auth keys and project still work and nothing is changing on your current build.
If you use the upgraded API, all actions — whether client-side or server-side — show up in the dashboard. That means better monitoring, logs, transaction lifecycle tracking, and visibility across your app.
🧠 FAQs
Q: Will the old APIs or SDKs be deprecated?
No. SDKs and dedicated service APIs are here to stay and will continue to evolve as before towards the new product simplification without any breaking changes.
Q: How are the upgraded services priced?
Services are priced as they are currently- no changes. Requests will be charged based on usage to the underlying infrastructure. See our pricing page for more details.
Q: Will portal docs change?
Yes. We’re gradually reorganizing our portal to match the new interfaces. You will see a lot of changes coming up daily. We will still ensure users on existing services have relevant documentation available.
