Example: Algeria to beat Argentina? 12% of players agreed (Miracle = 8 pt), and you nailed the exact score (×3 multiplier). That's 8 × 3 = 24 points in one match.

Real chain. Real receipts.

Every pick is a Nimiq transaction. Public, immutable, looked up on any block explorer.

On-chain, your call

Re-pick as often as you like up to 15 minutes before kickoff — the latest one counts. After that, picks lock on the Nimiq blockchain forever. Not even we can tamper with them.

1 Luna per submit

One transaction per group = 6 picks for 0.00001 NIM. The Nimiq blockchain is built for this kind of micro-game.

Instant payouts

After the final whistle, your NIM arrives in your wallet. No withdrawals, no claim button, no waiting.

Two big picks. Bold ones pay more.

Before the opening kickoff, lock in two season-long predictions. Pick a favourite and you score the base. Pick an outsider and 2× or 3× kicks in.

Stuff people actually ask

No legal copy-paste. Direct answers.

Is it really free to play?
Yes. Each group submission costs one Luna. That's 0.00001 NIM, basically nothing. No deposit, no buy-in, no subscription. You can only win NIM here. You can never lose any.
Who built this?
A community member who loves what Nimiq is doing, building this purely out of intrinsic motivation. No company behind it, no investors, no fundraise. Meant as inspiration for fellow builders. If you're sitting on an idea for a Mini App, take this as your sign. Keep building, folks :)
Is this gambling or betting?
No. There's nothing to lose. No buy-in, no stake, no house. You can never end up with less NIM than you started with. We built this as a fun demo to show what's possible with the Nimiq Mini App framework. Picks are forecasts, not wagers.
Not into football. Is this for me?
Sure. You don't need to know any teams. Pick at random, pick by flag, pick by gut feeling. The whole point is to try out a Mini App, install the wallet, and see how on-chain payouts feel. World Cup is just the excuse. If you happen to discover football along the way, even better.
What about the Nimiq Mini App Competition?
This World Cup app is not a competition entry. We built it on the side as a demo to show what a Mini App on Nimiq can do. The real Nimiq Mini App Competition is a separate thing running right now, with proper prizes for builders. If you're a developer and want to ship your own Mini App, check out miniappscompetition.com.
What's Nimiq?
Nimiq is a green, browser-first blockchain. Fast finality, fees in fractions of a cent, runs straight from a phone. The same network powers Nimiq Pay, the wallet you install to play. More at nimiq.com.
When do I get my NIM?
Within minutes of the final whistle. We pull the score from the football API, run your rarity multiplier, and the payout transaction lands in your wallet on-chain. No claim button, no withdrawal flow, nothing for you to chase.
