Pi Network (@PiCoreTeam) $PI will hold its first Ecosystem Summit online from November 17 to 19, with a developer hackathon offering a $200,000 USDT prize pool starting on November 19. Founders Chengdiao Fan (@Chengdiao) and Nicolas Kokkalis (@nkokkalis) are scheduled to take part.
According to Pi Network's published schedule, the three-day online event will bring together developer platform announcements, technical demonstrations, developer conversations and app showcases. The first two days will be broadcast as YouTube Premieres on the project's official channel at 8:00 AM PST (4:00 PM UTC).
The first day focuses on the developer platform, ecosystem initiatives and showcases. The second day covers AI and the ecosystem. The third day is the kickoff for Pi Next, a hackathon with a $200,000 USDT prize pool that Pi says is aimed at developers and startups building on the network.
The Core Team has said Pi Day and Pi2Day celebrate progress across the broader Pioneer community and network, while the Ecosystem Summit focuses on developers, the Pi platform and the apps built on it.
Pi Network announced a set of developer-focused updates on October 29, before the summit. According to the project's developer blog, the Developer Portal now has a redesigned interface that makes it easier to configure and manage applications, with clearer navigation to Pi Sign-In, Ecosystem Listing, PiNet and the Pi Ad Network.
The Pi BlockExplorer now shows historical prices for Launchpad Testnet tokens such as SLICE against Test-Pi. CryptoPotato reported that users can track these prices without using the Pi Browser or holding a Pi account. PiVerify, the identity service for outside businesses, has added face uniqueness checks and further liveness checks, which are designed to help businesses detect potentially duplicate identities.
The project cites more than 60 million engaged Pioneers, over 300 Mainnet apps and 18.1 million KYC-verified users. Coingabbar noted that all three figures are self-reported. Cryptoticker reported that PI was trading around $0.0749 ahead of the summit, about 6% above its all-time low.
TokenPost noted that the October 29 product update included no usage or adoption figures showing whether the new features have increased demand for PI.
