If there is no Cycle 4 or any future cycles, I sincerely hope the Nimiq team will continue to stay open to ideas and suggestions from the community. So please, keep sharing your ideas here. Every suggestion matters, and I fully support continuing to build and grow together with Nimiq. Let's keep building! 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who participated, built, and contributed throughout this journey! It’s been an amazing experience seeing all your ideas come to life. As I’m putting together the final Cycle 3 report, I’d love to hear from YOU! What was your experience like? What did you enjoy, what could we improve, and what are your overall thoughts on Cycle 3 and the Mini Apps Competition as a whole? Your feedback is incredibly valuable, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, whether positive or constructive! Thank you all for being part of this journey!

Send NIM, USDC or USDT by email through a protected payment card. The recipient opens the card and verifies their email with a code to claim the funds. The link alone isn’t enough. Think of it as a digital paper wallet, delivered by email with an extra layer of protection. Each card holds its funds at its own address, ready for the intended recipient to claim. How it started PhoenixWire grew out of PhoenixMail. After integrating Nimiq Cashlinks into emails, I wondered: what if we could protect a payment link with an email verification code? That idea grew into a standalone app for sending NIM, USDC and USDT to an email address—making crypto a little more approachable for people who have never used it before. What can you do? - Send and receive NIM through Nimpay or Nimiq Wallet. - Send USDC on Polygon, or USDT on Polygon and Ethereum. - Add a personal message to your payment card. - Follow your cards and recover unclaimed funds. - Use Wire in English, French, Spanish, German or Chinese. Cards are valid for 24 hours. Unclaimed NIM is returned automatically. For USDC and USDT, return to Wire to recover your funds; the relay’s fees are retained. 📱 On mobile: choose Nimpay or use Nimiq Wallet through your browser. 💻 On desktop: use the web app with Nimiq Wallet. Invitation-only testing is over—public access is now open! 🚀 https://youtu.be/xtovIPGg1Zk?si=msetbo9QqMgHlgq- 👉 Try PhoenixWire: https://wire.phoenixmail.ca/ Built for the Nimiq Mini Apps Competition, Cycle 3. Thanks to everyone who tested, reported bugs and helped improve the experience. Give it a try, share your thoughts, and help sending crypto feel as simple as sending a message! 🙂

Lumora is a free, colorful, and interactive visual timer designed to help children understand the passage of time in a fun and relaxing way. Instead of watching numbers count down, kids can enjoy animated scenes filled with little creatures swimming or flying around. Every minute, one creature disappears, helping children visualize how much time is left. When the last one disappears, time is up! With different environments, optional relaxing sounds, and a gentle ending chime, Lumora makes waiting, daily routines, quiet time, and transitions easier and more enjoyable for children. A simple concept: make time visible, understandable, and a little magical for kids! 🌈 Free to use and installable as an app. 🌐 https://lumora.pixeldrop.ca/

Hey Nimiq builders! 👋💚 I’ve been working on something for the Nimiq Cycle 3 Mini App Competition, and I’m excited to finally share it with the community. Meet Thence — a cross-chain payment mini app built for Nimiq Pay. Here’s the problem I wanted to solve: What happens when you have NIM, but the person you want to pay doesn’t use Nimiq? Why should you have to manually swap tokens, bridge funds, and navigate different wallets just to pay someone? That’s where Thence comes in. With Thence, you can: Pay directly from your Nimiq Pay wallet using NIM. Send USDC to someone’s Polygon wallet, even if they don’t hold NIM. Track your payment from approval to delivery. Verify the transaction on Polygon and save a payment receipt. And the exciting part? It actually works! 🎉 I’ve successfully tested real NIM payments that resulted in USDC being delivered on Polygon. No simulated transactions or fake success screens. USDC on Polygon is our first live destination, with more assets and networks planned as Thence grows. I’ve also recorded a complete walkthrough showing the payment process and the on-chain proof. Try Thence: https://paywiththence.cv Follow the project: https://x.com/usethence I’d genuinely love feedback from other Nimiq builders What other cryptocurrencies or networks would you want Thence to support next? Your NIM can go further. Built for the Nimiq cycle 3 mini app competition
