Pi Network announces Hackathon 2025! A prize pool of 160,000 Pi ignites a global developer competition.
Pi Network is preparing for a significant breakthrough in 2025 - the official announcement of the first Pi Hackathon aims to promote the practical application of Pi coin and expand the entire ecosystem. This global developer competition will officially kick off on August 21, with a total prize of up to 160,000 Pi, attracting creators from around the world to compete for honor and rewards.
Developers from around the world gather to create the next generation of Pi applications.
Unlike traditional hackathons that focus on a single theme, the Pi Hackathon adopts an open theme, allowing participants to freely create decentralized applications (dApps) covering multiple fields such as payments, gaming, tokenization, and finance.
The only requirement is: it must comply with the coin standards of the Pi Network mainnet and bring actual value to the community.
The core team hopes to inspire developers' creativity through this open model and give birth to more applications that can enhance the utility of Pi, thus driving the ecosystem into a new stage.
Rewards Pool and Competition Schedule
The total prize pool for this Hackathon is 160,000 Pi (approximately 60,000 USD), distributed as follows:
First place: 75,000 Pi
Second Place: 45,000 Pi
Third place: 15,000 Pi
Honor Award (up to 5 teams): 5,000 Pi per team
Important time nodes:
August 21: The competition officially begins.
September 19: Mid-term progress update (optional, to gain early feedback and exposure)
October 15: Final submission deadline (application details, demo video, and developer entry form required)
Developer Resources and Tool Support
To assist participants, Pi Network offers multiple development resources:
Pi Open Source (PiOS): A community-driven open source collaboration platform
Pi App Studio: A creative tool that simplifies the application development process
Brainstorm App: Share ideas and receive community feedback
In addition, the Pi team encourages developers to integrate AI technology to create more efficient and competitive applications.
Potential Market Impact and RWA Concept
This Hackathon coincides with Pi Network's active deployment in the field of blockchain applications and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).
Recently, Stellar joined the ERC-3643 association to promote tokenization standards, and the collaboration between Pi and Stellar has sparked speculation that Pi Network may become an emerging RWA tokenization hub.
If developers focus on such applications in the Hackathon, the Pi ecosystem is expected to gain institutional-level recognition.
Pi coin price trend and market sentiment
Analysts point out that the recent bullish momentum of Pi coin comes from three main factors:
Whale accumulation: A large investor has purchased 350 million Pi coins in one go.
Expected listing of coins on exchanges: Market rumors suggest that multiple exchanges will list Pi coin.
Technical Breakthrough: Multiple indicators suggest that the price is likely to rebound.
With the topics and applications brought by the Hackathon, Pi coin may enter a critical upward cycle.

Conclusion
The Pi Hackathon 2025 is not just a developer competition, but also an important opportunity for the Pi Network to expand application scenarios and enhance community participation.
