Nimiq Kicks Off Second Mini Apps Competition with $17k in Prizes

Nimiq, an open-source blockchain project focused on digital payments, has launched its second Mini Apps Competition cycle. The four-week competition aims to encourage developers, AI builders, and indie hackers to create open-source applications for Nimiq Pay using the Mini Apps Framework.

The competition offers $17,000 in prizes as part of a three-cycle competition with more than $50,000 in total prizes. It follows the first competition, which attracted 62 Mini App submissions.

Nimiq Executive Director Max Burger described the model as an 'App Store moment' for crypto payments, saying developers can bring extensions to the Nimiq payment experience directly to users instead of keeping them in separate applications.
