The Pi chat is finally growing up.
For years a lot of $PI talk was price and speculation. Lately it has shifted to the stuff a real network needs. User verification, mainnet migration, and merchants actually accepting Pi.
That shift lands right as Pi holds its first Ecosystem Summit. It streams on YouTube from 17 to 19 November. Technical demos, new features, developer chats, and both founders on screen.
Then on the 19th they kick off a new hackathon with a $200,000 prize pool to get developers building on $PI.
One catch. A summit and a prize pool do not equal apps overnight. Real merchants and real usage still have to show up after the stream.
But $PI is putting money behind the one thing it has always needed. Real apps and real adoption.
Pi's first Ecosystem Summit streams on YouTube: technical demos, new feature announcements, developer conversations and Pi Network founders Chengdiao Fan and Nicolas Kokkalis.
Nov 17 and 18: 8:00 AM PST / 4:00 PM UTC
Nov 19: new 200,000 USDT hackathon kickoff

Open USD (OUSD) is live on BVNK. As part of @Mastercard, a founding consortium member of @openstandard, BVNK offers a direct integration path for OUSD.
Enterprise teams get a direct route to mint, redeem, send, receive, store and convert OUSD alongside traditional and digital currencies.
Axis is scaling into a model company.
We built the data infrastructure for one reason: to produce general robotic intelligence.
Our approach is centered on skill: we turn reinforcement learning experts into reusable, conditioned skills, and those skills feed a general model.
Data is the input. The model is the product, and it keeps improving on its own outputs. As it grows, the ceiling keeps rising toward general robotic intelligence.
We're just getting started.
As AI lowers the barrier to building software, reaching users and gaining distribution are becoming increasingly important challenges for developers.
Pi offers an existing distribution network and utility-based ecosystem where developers can connect their applications with more than 60 million Engaged Pioneers, alongside infrastructure for app discovery, user authentication, Pi payments, and other capabilities.
The ecosystem also includes over 300 Mainnet apps, a network of more than 420,000 Nodes, and over 18.1 million fully KYC’d users.

Pi Network is introducing the first-ever Pi Ecosystem Summit, a three-day online event on November 17–19, 2026!
While Pi Day and Pi2Day celebrate progress across the broader Pioneer community and network, the Pi Ecosystem Summit will focus on developers, the Pi platform, and the apps and utilities they build to serve Pioneers and expand Pi's utility.
The Summit will feature new platform announcements, developer tool demos, partner and community app showcases, conversations with developers, and details about an upcoming all-new Pi hackathon.
Developers and Pioneers can explore resources for building on Pi and discover apps and utilities across the ecosystem.

Pi is the native cryptocurrency of the Pi Network ecosystem, supporting ecosystem participation and utility across the network. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a relatively stable value, typically by being pegged to an asset such as the U.S. dollar, and they may serve an important but narrower purpose where stable prices are particularly useful.
Learn more about how stablecoins can expand the types of utility and economic activity the Pi ecosystem can support while maintaining a distinct role from Pi itself. https://t.co/MuubtRW4uh
Stablecoins can play an important role in expanding certain utility across the Pi ecosystem, particularly in use cases where predictable price stability is important.
The introduction of stablecoins requires a deliberate, unique approach, and must be aligned with Pi Network’s ecosystem and principles.
- Simply adding a stablecoin does not guarantee that it will naturally complement Pi.
- How the two function alongside each other depends on how stablecoins are integrated into the Pi ecosystem.
This makes the design and initial introduction especially important. Stablecoin functionality should be directed toward circumstances where price stability is needed while preserving the utility of the Pi cryptocurrency across the broader ecosystem.

Pi Network is exploring how stablecoins can support additional utility across the Pi ecosystem while maintaining a distinct, complementary role to Pi.
Read the new blog in the Pi mining app to learn about:
- Pi’s approach to stablecoins
- How stablecoins may help expand participation within the ecosystem
- Why their implementation requires careful design
And how the OUSD partnership can fit into Pi’s broader stablecoin strategy.
