The first two cycles have brought a lot of creativity into the Nimiq ecosystem, with 204 Mini Apps submitted by builders who turned their ideas into something real. While only a handful could take home the main prizes, plenty of other Mini Apps caught the attention of the Nimiq Community Council. Tomorrow, we will share a special announcement recognizing a few more projects that stood out. Stay tuned. 👀

Hey everyone 👋 I'm the builder behind subimpact: NimMap &NimBooks, the block explorer, and a few free Nimiq tools over at nimiq.subimpact.net. I also run a Nimiq validator called ImpactZero, and I'll get straight to it: it has a 0% fee. Every reward the node earns goes back to the people staking with it, restaked automatically. I keep nothing. Here's the honest picture: a Nimiq validator only gets elected when enough stake is behind it, and ImpactZero is still fighting for its place in the elected set. Until it's elected, no block rewards flow yet. What moves it forward is delegations. Two things you get out of it: once ImpactZero is producing, the full rewards flow to stakers at 0% fee. And today, delegators get the NimMap pass free while their stake stands. So if you hold NIM and you'd like to back a builder who ships for the ecosystem, a delegation would genuinely help. Even a small one. How to stake with ImpactZero: 1. Head to https://nimiq.subimpact.net and click "Stake NIM" (works inside Nimiq Pay too) 2. Or open Nimiq Wallet and search "ImpactZero" in the validator list Validator address: NQ08 ACT8 T0FE PTG8 P5RL H2S3 QGXH V15R NVXY Questions about staking, validators, or any of the tools, ask away 🙏

NimReturn now verifies on Nimiq mainnet as well as testnet. Two asks for this community: 1. Try it — https://nimreturn-staging-cycle2.onrender.com/ — you can read a completed Purchase Passport with no wallet at all. 2. Small favour: I need a little mainnet NIM to make the first real purchase against my own signed policy. If anyone can spare ~1 NIM: NQ89 UUN0 CL73 BHHF 9B39 A4T8 4TAH 0H9J QJXK — happy to return it. Also worth flagging: every public NIM faucet I could find is offline (nimiqo.com, nimiqfaucet.net, faucet.nimiq.com all dead). Small gap in the onboarding path for new mainnet users.

WHERE IS CHUCK?
