Index for the Token Utility, Tokenomics and Value Category

Aiming to turn Nimiq into a payments chain for the assets people already hold, the milestones in this category focus on bringing stablecoins and Bitcoin onto Nimiq and on making them as easy to use as NIM. This is the bundle that makes the flagship end-user app (roadmap coming next) possible. Carrying assets other than NIM is a real change of scope: the experience being built toward is paying for lunch in a stablecoin, settled on Nimiq in seconds, from an app where only you hold the keys, with NIM doing the work underneath. NIM stays the network’s fee and staking asset; stablecoins and custom tokens do not replace its role, they give it more purpose.
