We can’t wait to build together.
Pi Network is a social cryptocurrency and Web3 developer platform with over 35 million engaged users. We are the world’s most widely distributed cryptocurrency, and are disrupting the blockchain industry with our uniquely accessible and developer-friendly platform. Developed by a team of Stanford PhDs, Pi can be easily mined on mobile phones with low financial cost, limited battery drain, and a light environmental footprint.
In the spirit of leaving a light environmental footprint, we are offering our cryptocurrency—Pi tokens—instead of physical swag. Hackers can race to claim Pi by taking a few technical challenges that will also help prepare you for the hackathon this weekend. Follow the steps below to get started!
