The submission portal is closed and the results aren't out yet, so now feels like a good time to say thank you. First, the Nimiq team. @Martin DeSouza, thank you for hosting the Sip & Ship calls and guiding us every week, and most of all for the good vibes you bring to every call (especially by blasting Bob Sinclar 🕺). @Yasmine Romdhane and @Laura Fluieraru, thank you for being on Skool every day, answering every question, leaving no one behind, and making sure we never missed an update or a deadline. @Alberto Monterroso, thank you for always helping out when we had technical questions. You always knew the answer and saved us so much time. @Peter Parker, thank you for stepping in whenever we were lost. Your help was really appreciated. A big thanks also to everyone at Nimiq working behind the scenes, for Nimiq Pay, the Mini App SDK, and the chance to build something real in just a few weeks! 💪 And to the community, a few people in particular deserve a shoutout. @Angelo Fornasieri was our first real tester. His deposit surfaced a bug early on that we were able to fix right away. @Francois Bradette gave us some very useful feedback on the welcome screen, and we used it to make it even better. @Jeremy Lee tested early, asked great questions at Demo Day and gave us the validator idea, which is now on our roadmap. @Swift Bot Labs tested our Mini App while we tested theirs (Kuza). Competing and helping each other at the same time is what we liked most here. And to the Nimiq Community Council, thank you for taking the time to judge our Mini Apps. We really hope you'll like what we built. This was my first competition like this and I did it with my sister @Khadija Chourou. We had a blast from ideation all the way to submitting. We learned that real users break things in ways you’d never expect, and every bug they found actually made Dibs better. Around 30 people ended up saving NIM with it, and our favorite moment was seeing the first gift card bought on mainnet!

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!

WE ARE LIVE ON ZOOM! LAST CALL OF THE CYCLE :) Join us: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86987421255?pwd=VZcxMKdYAnvp8ZAk3ZcFT51qCCFr2Y.1

Hi everyone! Excited to share NimInk, our Cycle III submission. Writers publish great work all the time but rarely get paid fairly. Ads barely cover anything, algorithms bury good content, and platforms take a cut. NimInk builds the whole writing-and-earning loop directly inside Nimiq Pay. Here’s how it works: 📝 Writers publish articles — free, premium unlock, or subscription 💰 Readers tip authors directly in NIM, no middleman 📬 Anyone can commission an article with a budget and deadline 📈 Writers stake their earned NIM right inside the app — pick a validator, check fees and trust score, and put earnings to work without leaving NimInk Sign in with your Nimiq wallet. No separate account needed. Every payment lands straight in the writer’s wallet. Would love your honest feedback — especially on the staking flow and whether tips, premium unlocks, subscriptions and paid requests feel like the right set for a first version. 🔗 Try it: https://nimink.onrender.com/ 📹 Demo video: https://youtu.be/6--6ZdpoXls 💻 GitHub: https://github.com/deep17raj/NimInk.git Happy to share more details in the comments! 🙏

Hey all, Minos here. My Cycle III entry is up. Kickback is a mini app inside Nimiq Pay. You stake once with a direct-payout pool, and about every 12 hours a kickback lands. Your plan splits it: some to family or a friend, some restaked, the rest yours. Your stake is never touched. Demo: https://youtube.com/shorts/-LD9doYPqPE Open in Nimiq Pay: https://kickback-ecru.vercel.app Works on mainnet and testnet. If anything looks off, tap the K logo 5 times for Diagnostics and drop a screenshot below. All feedback welcome!
