Hey everyone, Emre here 👋 This will be one of my last posts here before this place goes dark, so I wanted to make it count. I took part in all 3 rounds. I'll be honest, I wasn't equally active in every one of them, but I built apps for the 1st and 3rd rounds, and I joined nearly all the Zoom calls along the way. Personally, I think those calls were one of the best parts. I enjoyed every one of them. It was a really great experience for me, way better than I expected when I first joined. After the 1st round, my brother came to me with a bunch of ideas, and that's how NimShop in the 3rd round came to life. So a big part of that credit goes to him. Building something together like that made the whole thing even more special for me. Looking back, the most important thing for me is being able to keep our respect even when we don't win. Lately I haven't commented on everyone's work, but I've tried out pretty much everyone's app, and I really mean it when I say there was a lot of creativity and effort in this community. That deserves recognition regardless of the results. Winning is nice, but the people and the experience are what actually stay with you. That's also why I want to thank a few people who stood out to me by being active, supportive and genuinely positive: @Francois Bradette @Jeremy Lee I obviously can't list everyone here, these are just the people who came to mind first. A big thanks to the nimiq team as well for putting this together and keeping the community going through all three rounds. This doesn't have to be the end, just the end of this chapter. If you want to keep in touch or collaborate on something in the future, feel free to reach out to me. I'd be happy to hear from you. It was a great ride, and I'm really glad I was part of it. See you around! 🙌 Emre

It’s been a while since our last update, but we’ve been busy! First, some news that made us really happy: we asked for BTC Lightning support in Nimiq, and it’s great to see so many apps now using it. It’s a big step for the whole ecosystem, especially since accepting payments directly in NIM was more difficult. What we’ve been working on: - Nimiq Base Staking Pool: While building the app, we also launched our own Nimiq Base staking pool, and it has just reached 80 million NIM! - - 1% Cashback: The pool is now big enough to reward NimShop users, and our 1% cashback is live! We’re thrilled about these milestones. Thank you all for your support, and see you in the next update!

We’ve learned so much while building @JumpaHQ. One interesting thing we’ve noticed is that, beyond individual users, other products have started reaching out to integrate Jumpa because of our competitive off-ramp rates. It’s exciting to see that what we’re building isn’t just solving problems for everyday users but also creating value for other businesses. Our thinking has always been simple: Making money is hard enough. Moving it shouldn’t be.

One of the best ways to improve your Mini App is to let someone else use it. They might find a confusing step you overlooked, misunderstand a feature that seemed obvious, or spot an issue you haven't encountered yourself. That's why testing matters before submission, not just at the end. Share your Mini App with the community in the Test My Mini App channel, ask for honest feedback, and use it to make the experience better!
