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. To every builder who submitted a Mini App, you put in the work and Thursday is your moment. To everyone who followed along, tested Mini Apps, and cheered builders on, you're part of this too. Don't miss it! 🥁

142 Mini Apps are under review and the wait is almost over. While the Community Council works through your submissions, we want to know how you spent the weekend. Were you making some last improvements to your Cycle 2 submission, planning what you want to build for Cycle 3, or taking some time away from the screen entirely? Let us know in the comments, and stay close for the next announcement.

Judging is underway, but you don't have to wait for the results to explore what was built. Every submitted Mini App is live and ready to try right now. Go check them out and let us know which one you'd actually use. 👉 miniappscompetition.com/submissions/cycle2

If you’ve been building Mini Apps here, you’ve been building on the Nimiq blockchain. And because Nimiq is community-driven, builders aren’t just users of the ecosystem. You have a real say in where it goes next. The Nimiq Protocol Technical Roadmap was published last Friday and is now open for feedback in the forum. If you have questions about stablecoin support, privacy, or anything else on the list, post them in that milestone's thread. The first round of answers goes out this Friday! 👉 https://forum.nimiq.community/t/intro-to-the-nimiq-protocol-roadmap/2628

The Reply-Guy Challenge has officially come to an end, and we’ve got our winners! 🥳 Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen builders showing up for each other in all kinds of ways: testing Mini Apps, answering questions, sharing useful feedback, helping people get unstuck, and jumping into conversations across the community. That’s exactly what we wanted this challenge to encourage. Huge congrats to our 3 Skool winners: 🏆 @Dany Nimiqfr → $25 USDC 🏆 @Francois Bradette → $25 USDC 🏆 @Jeremy Lee → $25 USDC The X winners are announced on @miniappscomp, so head over there to see who won! This won’t be the last chance to win. We’re always watching for builders who stand out and contribute to the community. Keep showing up! 💪
