The Nimiq Community Update — Week 18
Welcome to the Nimiq Community Update! This a community contributed fortnightly write-up on what Team Nimiq have been posting in the official Nimiq discord channel alongside community led projects and content being created for Nimiq. The Community update will always remain open source & community driven.
What is Nimiq?
Nimiq is a browser-based Blockchain designed for simplicity. Nimiq’s reason for existence is to bring the benefits of blockchain technology to the mainstream. To achieve that purpose Nimiq has been built from the ground up to address and break the barriers to entry that inhibit the mainstream adoption of blockchain technologies. Nimiq is encompassed by a strong philanthropic mindset, it will always remain open-source and community-driven.
Marching toward the future.
Week 18 brings a lot to the table for the project as Team Nimiq conduct their first Q&A session on the official Nimiq subreddit, launch their Nimiq ledger promotion and allocate time to focus on the projects’ marketing and communication.
