🎤 What Did You Think of Cycle 2?
We’re already thinking about how to make Cycle 3 even better, and who better to ask than the builders who just went through Cycle 2? You spent 4 weeks building, shipping, demoing, and competing. You experienced the whole thing up close, so we want to know what worked for you, what didn’t, and what you’d like to see next. Here are some prompts to get you started, but feel free to go off script: - What was your favorite part of Cycle 2? - What was the most frustrating part? - What helped you the most while building? - Was anything confusing or unclear? - What should we do more of in Cycle 3? - What would you love to see added? Drop your thoughts below. Good, bad, or somewhere in between, we want to hear it. ✍️

@Laura Fluieraru @Francois Bradette @Mini Apps Competition @Yasmine Romdhane This could be a great approach for a 3rd cycle. Apps that are not yet in the Nimiq ecosystem but focus for non crypto users. When I submit my project on Cycle 1 , the judges told me my presentation, development and App ws good and professional but that the idea was not fitting since I can use any payment method other than Nimiq Pay and become an external App. I totally disagree with that approach back then and that's why i didn't resumitted for Cycle 2. I do believe the integration of Nimiq Pay is a feature not the goal, the Goal was to bring new users to the community in a new easy way without friction for them to adopt crypto. FYI App Intro Video for OtherMe App: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whnIsff4K80 To be fair, I got other good feedbacks from the Judges which i took and incorporate to my project to improve it. It's worth notice I got block from X for using Nimiq Pay for a contest i tried back then, they call it a scam and then i had to stop advertising in 2 social medias and that affects me in the scoring of the judges. Regardless it's said you can applied with a work in progress project, you get points if you are in production and with active users.. that was another item to see how to improve for future cycles. Good luck to the participants of this cycle and hope organizers take your idea in consideration for future cycles.
How to create a NFT in NIM?
Hi tech team, Is there a way to integrate a real NFT minting in NIM ( i.e. an ERC 721 and ERC 2981) ? I only found the traditional Polygon / IFFS (Pinata) workflow.. thanks for the help @Mini Apps Competition Key NFT Standards - ERC-721: The foundational and most famous non-fungible token standard. It ensures every token has a unique tokenId and distinct attributes, making individual tokens one-of-a-kind. - ERC-2981: A standard royalty protocol allowing creators to signal automated fee percentages during secondary sales.

Here's the summary options of Design Plan for the Marketplace: The core finding A true on-chain NIM-native NFT isn't possible — Nimiq's protocol only has four fixed account types (Basic, HTLC, Vesting, Staking) and no general-purpose smart-contract layer. This shaped everything below. Two complementary tracks (not either/or) Track A — Real NFT (Polygon + IPFS) - ERC-721 on OpenZeppelin, ERC-2981 royalty set per-token at mint time (goes to the individual creator) - Minting via an EIP-712 signed voucher: your backend checks ownership and signs off on what can be minted, but the user's own wallet pays its own gas and calls mint directly — no relayer, no hot wallet, matching how USDT payments already work in this app - Metadata pinned to IPFS via Pinata at mint time (solves a real problem: users can delete their library copy, which would otherwise orphan the NFT) - Non-custodial marketplace: atomic buy() splits royalty/fee/seller payment and transfers the token in one transaction, never holds funds or the NFT Track B — NIM Download-Rights Marketplace (reframed per your direction) - No ownership transfer — creator shares an asset (paying a fee to do so), buyers pay a NIM fee for repeatable download rights, split 80% creator / 20% treasury via two separately-verified NIM payments — no escrow - Anti-piracy: perceptual-hash comparison at share-time to block someone downloading an asset and re-sharing it as their own (images first; video hashing flagged as a harder follow-up) - Must be marketed as "collectibles," never "NFTs" — no blockchain enforces any of it Recommended order: Track B first — smaller, no smart contract, no new vendor, purely NIM (a stronger "native to the platform" story for the competition) — then Track A if there's appetite for the bigger Solidity lift.
🏆 MINI APPS COMPETITION: CYCLE #1 WINNERS!!
Cycle 1 is officially in the books. 62 Mini Apps submitted, all of them scored by the Nimiq Community Council, and the results are final. 🥁 Drumroll please… 🥇 1st place: Nimiq Space by @Harley NSpace An open multiplayer world where wallet-signed players can see who is online right now, paint a persistent 500x500 collaborative floor, and build rooms that sync live for everyone in them. 🥈 2nd place: NimJump by @Emre Alt An arcade game built around a minimal client-authority architecture, where the server replays every run itself instead of trusting the score the client reports. 🥉 3rd place: NimQuest by @mystiquemide A learn-and-prove Mini App with server-graded quizzes, where a completion only counts once you sign a one-time message in Nimiq Pay. Congratulations to all three. Winners will be contacted directly to arrange payout. To everyone else who submitted, thank you. You shipped something real in four weeks and set the bar high for future cycles. Every app you built is yours under the MIT License, so keep going with it. 🗓️ Cycle 2 opens August 24. Same $17,000 USDT prize pool, four Sip & Ship calls, submissions close September 18 at 23:59 UTC. If your app did not place this time, you can refine it and submit it again. Full breakdown on all three winners: https://www.nimiq.com/blog/mini-apps-competition-cycle-1-winner-announcement

@Sam H @Mini Apps Competition I have similar doubts since my logs show no new accounts besides my test users from July 31 to Aug 10. I"m wondering if they tried the repo instead than my live product and of course it didnt run since my AI secret keys are not active there. Although i do agree Harley's product was more elaborate than mine. Regardless of the situation, i will like to get that feedback to understand what to improve besides marketing/user base which i didnt advertise full since im still doing changes for outsiders and normies. How can i contact them? Which are their Tagnames? Thanks
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Cycle #2 New START Date: Aug 24
Following a network upgrade, it's been decided to push the Cycle #2 start date to Aug 24 in order to ensure the Nimiq Pay app is fully updated and clear of any bugs before builders start shipping. In the grand scheme of things, this changes nothing. If anything, it gives you an extra week to get building.💪
