Announcing Pi Hackathon winners! Go to the Pi app homepage for a winners announcement video and blog with more details about the incredible contributions that are being made to the Pi ecosystem.

What is the Pi Enclosed Mainnet? The Enclosed Network period helps Pi focus on building ecosystem infrastructure and utilities viable within an enclosed environment—without external noise or instability.

The latest Pi Tech and Product Update has been released, focusing on Q1 2023 work. Go to the home screen to read the update and share it with your network!

Data gathered during the Pi Enclosed Network period of Mainnet will help calibrate and tweak any configurations and formulae, if necessary, to ensure a stable and successful Open Network.

Congratulations "Polls for Pi" for winning Pi Network's Q1 2023 Hackathon!

Polls for Pi is a Web3 polling app that designs and administers polls and surveys, where the poll poster pays Pioneers for their answers to their polls in Pi.

From the team: "Thank you Pi Network for the opportunity to apply what I learned from my mentors to contribute to communities we belong to. Building for the Hackathon was challenging and exciting!"

AVOID LOSING YOUR PI – PROTECT YOUR PASSPHRASE! Your passphrase should ONLY be entered on the Pi Wallet at the “wallet.pi” URL in the Pi Browser. Be very careful—scammers have been creating fake Pi Wallet login pages to get Pioneers’ wallet passphrases and steal all their Pi. Also, Pi Core Team members will NEVER ask Pioneers for their wallet passphrases. Beware of Core Team impersonators as well.

Pi Chat infrastructure has been successfully migrated last week! This enables the Pi Chat app to have more frequent development of new features and independent scaling—important for ecosystem development and utility creation. Alongside this, we’re also introducing a fresh look and style to Chats.

We are thrilled to announce the latest innovative app by Pi Network: Fireside Forum, a true Web3 social platform that fosters authenticity, constructive conversations, and healthier online social interactions by integrating tokenomics into the core of social interactions.

This tokenomics mechanism, powered by Pi cryptocurrency, allows Pioneers to create and organically curate content, and moderate behavior, providing our community the tools to manage the online environment in a decentralized way.

Check out the new Web3 social app and join Pi Network to unlock all the features of Pi Network’s newest app that is reinventing how people interact online! https://fireside.pinet.com/channels/Jokes

And learn more about the vision and design of Fireside Forum here: https://minepi.com/blog/fireside-forum/

How’s Fireside Forum different from other social platforms? Fireside Forum intends to solve issues of the current popular Web2 social networks using blockchain-powered technology to design the future of Web3 social experience.

Pi Network believes that a true Web3 social network should not be a mere imitation of Web2 social network products by storing something onto the blockchain. Instead, it should make advancements and improvements on the flaws of many Web2 social networks.

Such problems that Fireside Forum aims to solve are propagating misinformation and disinformation, trolling, internet violence, information overload, low signal-to-noise ratio, information silos due to overuse of machine learning algorithms, etc.
