Happy Pi2Day 2021 #BuildPi2gether

On June 28th Pi Network celebrated Pi2Day 2021 with the start of Pi Hackathon.

Pi Network is launching the new Pi Apps utility platform, Pi Developer Portal, and Pi Hackathon to commemorate Pi2Day 2021. Community developers will now be able to start developing and testing applications for the Pi platform, which will be used by millions of people.

Overview and Importance of the Project

Pi is a worldwide cryptocurrency with a high transaction throughput that allows for quick financial settlements around the world. Pi Network, on top of this utility, aims to self-actualize by providing value through a decentralized network of programmed utilities (apps) that transact products and services using the Pi blockchain as a medium of exchange.

The new Pi Utilities Platform serves as the foundation for this, linking to the Pi Testnet blockchain (and, eventually, the Mainnet) in the backend and the Pi Browser’s user accessibility in the frontend.

Launch of the Pi Utilities Platform

Pi apps will be implemented as web-apps that run inside the Pi Browser thanks to community work. Pioneers can now make Test-Pi payments to third-party apps and vice versa using the existing SDK. Because the sender must sign it with their own private key, a Pi payment is always begun and allowed at the sender’s computer device, whether it’s an individual Pioneer or a third-party software.

With a single JavaScript call utilizing the Pi JavaScript SDK, third-party Pi programs can ask a Pioneer to pay them Pi for products and services via the Pi wallet. Pioneers pay by using their Pi Wallet to sign the transaction. By signing through their developer wallet on their servers, third-party Pi apps can send Pi to Pioneers.

Pi Browser allows pioneers to access a third-party app website. They can tap to pay-in-Pi to be redirected to the Pi wallet’s address wallet.Pi, where they can access their own wallet and agree the payment. They will be sent back to the address of the third-party app to proceed after the payment has been successfully registered on the Pi blockchain.

Since the SDK and Pi apps payment flows are connected to the Pi Testnet blockchain, all transactions on the current platform use just Test-Pi. Their goal is to collaborate with the community to evolve and improve the Platform and its Pi Apps so that they are compatible and ready to use whenever Mainnet begins.

Pi Network also established standardized development and deployment resources, a dedicated Kubernetes cluster with accompanying docker containers, so that ecosystem app developers could focus on developing Pi utilities and features without worrying about scalability or server expenses.

Developers of ecosystem apps can publish their ready-to-run apps directly to the Pi’s cluster of thousands of server CPUs. More information on the mentioned resources will be available soon, according to the Pi official’s announcements.
