As the Nimiq project matures and the crypto landscape evolves, it’s more important than ever for the community to come together and reflect on where we’ve been—and where we’re headed. This thread is an open invitation to anyone with a stake or interest in Nimiq to share your thoughts, ideas, critiques, and hopes for the future. Unlike fast-moving chats on Telegram or Discord, this forum aims to provide a more permanent space for thoughtful, long-form discussion. Whether you’re a core team member, long-time supporter, developer, or simply curious about the Nimiq ecosystem, your perspective is valued here.
The goal of this post is not to arrive at firm conclusions, but to collect a wide range of insights, suggestions, and questions about the future of the Nimiq project and the NIM currency. Ideally, this becomes a central place that the community and team can refer back to—a snapshot of sentiment and ideas that can help guide Nimiq’s direction moving forward.
This is also an opportunity for Team Nimiq to engage directly: to share updates, reflect on past successes and missteps, and offer transparency about current priorities and challenges.
Everyone is welcome—community members, developers, ecosystem partners, Bitcoin maxis, critics, and supporters alike. If you care about the Nimiq payment ecosystem or the future of the NIM currency, your voice belongs here.
Here are just a few starter questions to inspire the conversation:
- Should NIM focus exclusively on payments, or expand into areas like smart contracts?
- How can adoption and real-world usage of Nimiq and the NIM currency be meaningfully increased?
- Is there a need for formal governance—such as a constitution or voting framework—to shape Nimiq’s evolution?
- When and why are community votes (like changes to the emission curve) triggered, and should this process be more clearly defined?
- Should the 21 billion NIM supply cap remain fixed?
- What role should decentralization play in shaping the project’s future?
- Should Nimiq prioritize NIM itself, or broader crypto payments adoption—including BTC, USDC, etc.?
- What are effective ways to empower the community to contribute to marketing and adoption efforts?
- In an ideal world, how is NIM being used?
Of course, these are just starting points. Everyone will have their own priorities, questions, and ideas—and all are welcome. As certain topics generate momentum, they may evolve into standalone threads. But for now, let’s keep this a central hub for thoughtful discussion about the future of Nimiq.
Let’s see where it leads!
