Hi Nimiq community! The Nimiq network is upgrading: the v2.0.0 hard fork is on the way. It rolls out in two phases. Validators signal from August 10, and once 80% of the total stake has committed, the fork activates. Node operators update after that. The blog post below provides the full picture and links to the documentation for the exact steps. 👉 https://www.nimiq.com/blog/hard-fork-preparations Thank you for you…

Crypto & trading — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 21 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 90% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

Engagement
20 posts held, back to 15 May 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 24 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Community Update: With this post, we sadly have to inform you that the Virtual NAKA Card feature in Nimiq Pay has to be discontinued immediately. NAKA has decided to shut down NAKA Card operations after several years of working through complex and evolving legal requirements that no longer align with how NAKA wants to operate this product. While this is not the outcome we hoped for, we respect NAKA's decision and …
My prediction The winner of the $10k Mini Apps Competition will be a power-couple. • One Marketer • One Developer The developer builds a mini app that's fast, clean, and solves a real problem. They ship features that make judges say "how did they do that in 4 weeks?" The marketer gets it in front of real users and tells a story the community can't ignore. They turn a great product into a movement with traction yo…

Nimiq's Road to Quantum Resistance: The effects on Zero-Knowledge Proofs While carrying out our post-quantum research, we found something that turned a long-term plan into an immediate decision.

All issues have been resolved. The Nimiq Wallet and Nimiq Pay are fully operational.
We’re currently experiencing issues with gas abstraction for USDT / USDC in the Nimiq Wallet and USDT in Nimiq Pay. User funds are not affected, but stablecoin transfers may experience issues. Our team is working on a fix and we’ll keep you updated.
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @NimiqNews. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Mentions
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
Handles this channel named that no longer answer
- Dead references

@NimiqNews named 1 handle that resolve to nothing today. That is a fact about the reference, not necessarily a fact about the handle’s history — see the two groups below.
Most of these may never have existed as a live channel at all. A handle a channel names can be a typo, an aspirational name nobody registered, or a channel that was already gone before this one ever mentioned it. Unless a row below is marked evidenced, all we know is that it references a handle that is not a live channel today — not that anything “died”. How this is measured.
Never seen alive
References a handle that is not a live channel — we have no record it ever was one.
