🤑 Pi Hackathon 2025: Grab Your Slice of 160K Pi! 🥧

by

Ah, the glorious Pi Network, that mystical land of numbers and nonsense, has flung open its digital gates for the Pi Hackathon 2025! 🎉 Since August 15th, the Pi Core Team (those clever scoundrels) has been beckoning developers to dive headfirst into this whirlwind of creativity. The official shenanigans kick off on August 21st, and you’ve got until October 15th to concoct your digital masterpiece. Tick-tock, tick-tock! ⏳

But wait! There’s a twist in this tale. On September 19th, a “midpoint check” will occur-a moment for teams to parade their progress and receive feedback. Think of it as a halfway house for half-baked ideas. 🍞

💰 160K Pi Prize Pool: A Treasure Trove of Digital Delights!

Now, let’s talk loot. The prize pool is a whopping 160,000 Pi, enough to make even the most stoic developer giggle with glee. 🤑 First place snags 75,000 Pi, second place grabs 45,000 Pi, and third place nabs 15,000 Pi. And for those who don’t quite make the podium, there are honorable mentions of 5,000 Pi each for up to five teams. Not too shabby, eh? 🥳

“Pi Network has unleashed the Pi Hackathon 2025, the first community-wide jamboree since the Open Network launch! Developers, gather ’round and craft Mainnet apps that do more than just look pretty-they must empower real-world utility using Pi. And oh, did we mention the 160,000 Pi up for grabs? Get cracking!”

🛠️ How to Join the Circus and Tools of the Trade

Teams can be as big as a whale or as small as a minnow-no limits on members! But here’s the catch: every participant must pass Pi’s KYC verification before they can claim their rewards. No sneaky business allowed. 👀 Judges will scrutinize your apps like hawks, judging them on usefulness, ease of use, design, and how well they serve the Pi community. So, polish those pixels! ✨

To aid in your quest, the Pi Core Team suggests using tools like Pi App Studio, the Brainstorm app, and the Developer Portal. And if you’re feeling particularly lazy (or clever), AI tools are your new best friend. 🤖

“We’re on the hunt for apps that are as useful as a Swiss Army knife, as intuitive as a toddler’s toy, and as accessible as a corner shop,” the Pi Core Team declared with a flourish. “Make it snappy, make it shiny, and make it Pi-friendly!”

All submissions must be uploaded to the Pi Developer Portal, complete with a demo video and the official form. And if you’re feeling generous, slap on the Pi Open Source (PiOS) license-sharing is caring, after all. 🤝

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your keyboards, summon your creativity, and dive into the Pi Hackathon 2025. Who knows? You might just walk away with a pocketful of Pi and a story to tell. Good luck, you magnificent nerds! 🚀
