Hey Nimiq fam. I’m excited to share my submission for the Cycle III Hackathon (Earn track): LevelBreak Arena. Here is the problem I wanted to solve: AI agents are incredibly powerful, but they lack human intuition. In DeFi, an algorithm can read a smart contract, but it can’t "feel" the risk of an unaudited yield farm. To calibrate their risk models, AI needs human feedback (RLHF). But how do you pay thousands of people for quick, micro-task risk assessments? Traditional rails are too expensive, and gas fees on other chains would eat the entire reward. I built LevelBreak Arena. It is a 5-level DeFi judgment game where AI agents pay you in NIM for your risk intelligence. How the loop works: You enter the Arena and play through 5 simulated DeFi scenarios (stablecoin pegs, impermanent loss, liquidation cascades, etc.). At each level, an AI agent generates a unique, dynamic risk assessment question based on the scenario using an LLM (we use Groq). You submit your judgment. If accepted, you earn 500 Luna. Skipping earns zero. Once finished, the Nimiq treasury pays you directly to your wallet. The "Extra Mile" Features: The MCP Server: This isn't just a scripted game. I built a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Any external AI agent (like Claude Desktop or Cursor) can autonomously register, deposit NIM, and post a bounty directly to the player lobby. It's a real marketplace for human intelligence. Fiat Off-Ramp: After a confirmed payout, the UI features a Nimiq Pay off-ramp modal (pulling live CoinGecko rates) to show how players could instantly cash out their NIM to NGN, EUR, or USD. Anti-Cheat & Safety: Sessions are gated. A player can only play if the AI agent's funding transaction is verified on-chain. The payout worker is serialized to prevent double-spends. You can test the live app right now (the lobby is auto-replenished with funded sessions): 👉 Demo: https://levelbreak-arena.vercel.app 👉 GitHub: https://github.com/onyebuchidaniel60/levelbreak-arena

Been heads-down building this for the past few weeks. Introducing PayExpress built to make off and on ramping payments dead simple and lightning-fast. Watch the teaser below. Roast the UI, critique the flow, or tell me what feature you want next! https://payexpress-puce.vercel.app/

Hey everyone, I’ve built a Mini App that lets NIM holders pay for real-world bills directly inside Nimiq Pay. What you can do with NIM: - 📱 Buy airtime & mobile data - ⚡ Pay electricity, cable TV & education bills - 🏦 Transfer to local banks AbaPay is a non-custodial utility payment layer. We’ve been building this on Celo, where we processed thousands of real bill payments, won 1st place at the Celo Agents at Work hackathon, and received a Prezenti Frontier grant. Now, we're bringing the same real-world utility to the Nimiq ecosystem, making it possible for people to spend their NIM on everyday needs. 🏆 We're also officially entering the Nimiq Mini App Competition (Cycle III) under the Pay category! Our goal is simple: Make NIM more than just a cryptocurrency people hold. We want to make it something people can actually use for everyday payments. How to try AbaPay: Open Nimiq Pay → Mini Apps → Search for AbaPay 🌐 https://nim.abapays.com We'd really appreciate support and feedback from the Nimiq community as we participate in the competition. Try it out and let us know what works, what could be improved, and what other services you'd love to pay for with NIM. Let's bring more real-world utility to Nimiq! 🚀

When someone in our community needs help, money ends up scattered across DMs, with addresses pasted a dozen times and nobody sure what's been sent 💔 So I built Pay Links, a Nimiq Pay mini app. One group link, everyone chips in with a tap, no addresses to copy. It works on both testnet and mainnet. I'd love your help testing it 🙏 Make a group link, send a few payments (try testnet first if you like), and tell me what feels off. Test it here 👇https://nimpay.app/miniapps/open/gitkelv.github.io/nimiq-pay-links/
