Cycle 1 is officially in the books. 62 Mini Apps submitted, all of them scored by the Nimiq Community Council, and the results are final. 🥁 Drumroll please… 🥇 1st place: Nimiq Space by @Harley NSpace An open multiplayer world where wallet-signed players can see who is online right now, paint a persistent 500x500 collaborative floor, and build rooms that sync live for everyone in them. 🥈 2nd place: NimJump by @Emre Alt An arcade game built around a minimal client-authority architecture, where the server replays every run itself instead of trusting the score the client reports. 🥉 3rd place: NimQuest by @mystiquemide A learn-and-prove Mini App with server-graded quizzes, where a completion only counts once you sign a one-time message in Nimiq Pay. Congratulations to all three. Winners will be contacted directly to arrange payout. To everyone else who submitted, thank you. You shipped something real in four weeks and set the bar high for future cycles. Every app you built is yours under the MIT License, so keep going with it. 🗓️ Cycle 2 opens August 24. Same $17,000 USDT prize pool, four Sip & Ship calls, submissions close September 18 at 23:59 UTC. If your app did not place this time, you can refine it and submit it again.

I’ve been pushing TipWall across social media relentlessly but I’m not getting the result I hoped for. I’ll keep pushing regardless because giving up isn’t an option. I built TipWall to solve a problem and I’ll make sure it serves it purpose.

62 builders submitted a Mini App in Cycle 1 and we're genuinely curious how everyone found their way here. Vote below and let us know. If your answer is Other, drop it in the comments. We'd love to hear it! 👇

While we await update on scoring and winner announcement. I decided we will lift the load off Google Gemini by integrating MindAi. We will be adding: - Recurring buys and automated sending of NIM (will need your permission to execute) - Budgeting - Purchase stats - Tax calculation - Financial insights and trending market analysis - Follow up notification (sent directly to your email). - Saving and Staking advise (suggests best staking pool). - Staking UI etc. - NimConnect @handle name for faster sending of NIM withouth NQ addresses. All of these will come in phases.

NimConnect lets users link a readable @handle to their Nimiq address, so apps can show and accept names instead of long wallet addresses. Would you be open to integrating it into your Mini App? If you choose maybe or no, I’d really appreciate hearing why in the comments. It would help me understand what is missing, whether the integration is too much work, or whether NimConnect simply does not add enough value for your use case. The integration uses the @nimconnect/profile-client package, and I’m happy to help or implement it for you if the project is open source. https://nimconnect.nimiqminiapps.com
