Example: Algeria to beat Argentina? If 12% of players agreed and you nailed the score — that's a Miracle pick with the exact-score multiplier. 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.

Tamper-proof

Once submitted, no one — not even us — can change your picks. They live on the Nimiq blockchain.

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.

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, roughly nothing. No deposit, no buy-in, no subscription. The 2.5M NIM prize pool was funded separately, before the tournament even starts.
Who built this?
A handful of Nimiq community members on their own time. No company behind it, no investors, no fundraise. The full prize pool was crowdfunded by NIM holders. Source code is open on GitHub.
Is this gambling or betting?
No. It's a free-to-play prediction game built for educational purposes only — to show what a public blockchain can do for a fan-run game. Picks are forecasts, not wagers. There's no buy-in, no house, no operator taking a cut.
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'll 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.
