Pi Hackathon 2025: Enhance Pi Utility in the Open Network Era
(Registration Begins)
Pi Network is excited to launch Pi Hackathon 2025, the ecosystem’s first hackathon after the launch of Open Network. This hackathon invites developers to build and deploy meaningful Pi Apps that empower real-world utility using Pi and help shape the ecosystem—and compete for a chance to win up to 160,000 Pi in total prizes.
Open Network’s external connectivity presents the opportunity to build upon the current utility of Pi through practical apps that deliver real use cases and utility for everyday users, including those who have never mined Pi.
Following the app-building momentum from Pi2Day 2025, this hackathon encourages developers to create tools, apps, and experiences that make Pi more usable and accessible across the world.
The Challenge
Build a Pi App that promotes the utility of Pi by encouraging and enabling people to engage with the ecosystem. This hackathon features a general, open-ended theme to invite broad creativity. Your app can focus on any use case, as long as it follows the Mainnet Listing Requirements and brings real utility to the Pi community.
Developers are encouraged to:
Be creative by innovating based on real user needs;
Take advantage of community contributions by building an open-source project using Pi Open Source (PiOS);
Use Pi App Studio and the Brainstorm app as starting points to transform early ideas into full-featured apps; and
Use AI technologies, including coding assistants, to support the development and iteration of their apps.
Prizes
The winning teams will receive the following prizes:
🥇 1st Place: 75,000 Pi
🥈 2nd Place: 45,000 Pi
🥉 3rd Place: 15,000 Pi
🏅 Honorable Mentions (up to 5 teams): 5,000 Pi each

Regarding the PCT's launch of the Hackathon 2025 competition for the PI project, some people may not understand the purpose of this initiative.
Here are my thoughts:
The PI Hackathon 2025 will kick off on the 21st. My view is that PI uses this competition to select well-designed apps from this competition for listing, just like a company holds a logo design competition to pick what they think is the best and their favorite design, instead of randomly hiring a design firm, which leads to continuous revisions that ultimately result in dissatisfaction.
Therefore, I believe that the PI Hackathon 2025 competition is very effective in rapidly developing the most useful top apps for the ecosystem.
Moreover, this can be inferred from the official statement, which mentions: "Making meaningful contributions to the Pi ecosystem by building real-world applications."
This implies that the hackathon is not just a competition, but also a process of screening and nurturing ecosystem projects. Rather than being merely a cash prize competition, it seems that PCT hopes to attract global developers through this method, quickly and in the short term, to identify the best applications that can enhance the utility of the Pi token and possibly integrate these applications into its ecosystem.
So, the hackathon prize of tens of thousands of Pi actually equates to the fact that if the app is well-designed, it will definitely mean that someone will operate it; even if no one operates it, there is a high probability it will be bought and managed.
If it needs to be operated, liquidity is essential, so the prize money will essentially be provided to these winners as liquidity. Of course, there are no restrictions on how they should use this prize money, but if they can design something good, they will certainly be motivated to promote it, and will likely need liquidity in a short time.
So, strictly speaking, believing that the prize of tens of thousands of Pi will be dumped onto the market is less accurate than saying that this prize will lead to the launch of apps that require a large amount of Pi token utility. Therefore, this competition can be seen as PCT using 10,000 Pi to exchange for 1,000,000 Pi market demand.
So, this is a competition that creates a large demand for Pi in the market quickly and in the short term, which is a common practice in the informal market.
