Updated Pi Hackathon Agenda

Note: We’ve updated the Pi Hackathon agenda both to reflect new extended deadlines and to include more events and resources for teams and developers. This updated plan both allows more time for developers to work on their apps and provides more events and resources to facilitate their team building and app development.

You can participate in the Hackathon through the Brainstorm app in the Pi home screen.
If participants have any questions about the Pi Hackathon, please join the Pi Ecosystem Development Discord also through the Brainstorm app and share questions you may have.

August 15 - Extended Midpoint progress report submission deadline
September 5 - Hackathon building ends and submit final report
September 13-17 - Community rating
September 30 - Announcement of winners

New events and resources

The Pi Core Team is announcing Hackathon networking events through Zoom. One of these events already occurred on July 22nd last week. Please refer to the updated Hackathon agenda for future networking events.These events will help connect technical developers and project teams. After finding an interesting project, developers can then search and apply on the Brainstorm app.

Technical office hours – Core Team tech members will host office hours to answer technical questions about building Pi apps, e.g. using Pi SDK, Sandbox, Developer Portal, Pi App Engine, Brainstorm app etc. Please refer to the updated Hackathon Agenda for office hour times.

Hackathon teams must turn in only one type of midpoint check in by August 15 — either a video submission or a Zoom presentation. Video submissions can be sent through this linked form or on the Pi Ecosystem Developer Discord server #video-update. A live Zoom presentation will be an additional format for teams to submit their midpoint progress reports, the details of which are below.

MAINNET is (almost) here!!!

Read details + new white paper section on the Pi home screen and prepare to transition your Pi to the Mainnet blockchain :)

PI NETWORK LAUNCHES MAINNET, initializing the Enclosed Network period of our Mainnet phase. Two new Pi white paper sections explaining how mining and supply will work in Mainnet have also been released. Read the home screen to learn more about our latest updates :)

Important note: Pi Network is NOT running an ICO or any type of crowdfunding sales. Any party impersonating Pi Network or its founders to conduct a sale or listing is illegal, unauthorized and fake, and has no affiliation with us. Pioneers should beware of any scams and not participate.

Pi is mined freely by contributing to the ecosystem. All mined Pi can only be claimed from inside Pi’s App. Any website asking you to claim Pi in other means is fake. Pi runs on its own blockchain (enclosed period), so sales or liquidity pools on different chains are scams.

Hope everyone's having a great new year ❤️

Check out our app home screen for a Q/A on some of your most pertinent questions about Mainnet!

Pi Wallets are essential to transfer your Pi to Mainnet once Pioneers start migrating their mobile balances to the Mainnet blockchain!
