Season 1 of the Mini Apps Competition is officially closed. Across 3 cycles, 300+ mini apps were built, and builders shared over $50,000 USDC in prizes, bringing thousands of new users to Nimiq Pay. Thank you to everyone who built, shipped, and showed up. As the Nimiq team takes Nimiq Pay to the next level 🚀 with new features and functionality, expect more events, campaigns, and competitions. 📌 IMPORTANT: What’s happening to this Skool community? The community will remain open to the existing members until the Cycle 3 winners are announced over the next couple of weeks. Starting tomorrow, Friday, November 13, at the end of the day, @Yasmine Romdhane and @Laura Fluieraru will no longer be actively managing this community. This space will be kept open so you can share your experiences, exchange feedback, connect with fellow builders, and stay informed about Nimiq ecosystem projects. Please keep all interactions respectful and relevant to the community. Mini app and/or Nimiq ecosystem-related project promotion will be encouraged, but any promotion outside of Nimiq ecosystem projects will not be tolerated. Spam or disrespectful behavior will be removed promptly. The intention is for this space to remain community-driven and community-moderated. Once the winners are announced, this community will become view-only and closed to new members until future Nimiq ecosystem events, campaigns, and competitions arise. To continue interacting with the Nimiq team, the Nimiq community, and fellow builders, we encourage you to join the official Nimiq Telegram community: https://t.me/Nimiq 👉 What’s next for builders? While Season 1 of the Mini Apps Competition comes to a close, there are always opportunities to continue your journey within the Nimiq ecosystem. 1️⃣ Keep building and improving your mini apps! Nimiq Pay is evolving with new features and functionality focused on Pay, Save, and Earn. Your mini apps could eventually be featured directly within Nimiq Pay, giving you opportunities to reach more users, grow your project, and potentially build a sustainable business.
