App creators, indie hackers, vibe coders, and anyone with an app idea: we want you.

We’re in the midst of an app-building gold rush. Today, many people are building apps in a single weekend. The problem? Everything that comes after building is still a nightmare: getting accepted into app stores, integrating payments, finding users. Until now.

Nimiq has launched the Mini Apps Framework, which includes payments, wallet access, and ready-to-use transactions right out of the box.

You build the app. The framework takes care of the rest.

And to show the world how easy it is to create and launch a Mini App, Nimiq is giving away over $50,000 USDT to the builders who do.

What: The Mini Apps Competition. A global app-building competition with over $50,000 USDT in total prizes distributed across three cycles.

Who: Everyone. Developers, indie hackers, designers, vibe coders, and beginners. No programming experience is required. You can participate individually or as part of a team.

When: Three four-week cycles, from July to October 2026. Cycle 2 opens on August 3.

Where: miniappscompetition.com

Why: $17,000 USDT per cycle ($10K / $5K / $2K for the top three). Four weeks, one app, up to $10K.

How: Register, build a mini-app, and submit it. Innovation, user experience, execution, and delivery quality will be evaluated.
