It all comes down to Thursday. The Cycle 2 winner announcement is dropping on October 8th. The Community Council has worked through every submission and the results are ready.

Don't miss it! 🥁

Cycle 2 starts today and we couldn't be more excited! Here's what the next four weeks look like: → August 24: Cycle 2 kicks off → September 18 at 23:59 UTC: submissions close → 4 Sip & Ship calls every Wednesday at 11 AM ET → $17,000 USDT in prizes for the top 3 builders 📅 Add the Mini Apps Competition Calendar to yours so you never miss a call or a deadline. Note: If you participated in the previous cycle, you don’t need to register again. What are you building for Cycle 2? Drop your idea below and let's kick this off together.

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.

It’s been a long hassle between me preparing for an exam and also battling with my health but I’m glad to have conquered all and to be back to pushing TipWall regardless of the setbacks it’s currently facing. Glad to be back. Health is wealth ❤️
