The Pi Mainnet ecosystem is experiencing explosive growth!
\nThere are already 210+ live apps, with more than 23,000+ in Pi Studio gearing up to launch on the Mainnet!<\/p>\n
\u2014 Pi News (@PiNewsMedia) October 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Pi News reported that the number of live applications has skyrocketed to over 210, with more than 21,000 preparing for launch on the Mainnet soon. It attributed this impressive growth to the ongoing Pi Network Hackathon, which began<\/a> in late August and is scheduled to be completed on October 15.<\/p>\n The team behind the project posted<\/a> a halfway point review in September, which highlighted some of the most utilized new apps that were released during the Hackathon.<\/p>\n The event, which aims to incentivize users to develop more apps on the Pi Network Mainnet, has a prize pool of 160,000 PI tokens to be distributed to up to eight teams in the following manner:<\/p>\n 1st Place<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 75,000 Pi<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 2nd Place<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 45,000 Pi<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 3rd Place<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 15,000 Pi<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Honorable Mentions (up to 5 teams)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 5,000 Pi each<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n In contrast to the Pi Network usage, the project\u2019s native token has been in a free-fall state for months. It continues to dig new lows, and the latest came during the Friday-night meltdown when it plunged to $0.1721 (CoinGecko data). This meant that it had lost over 94% of its value since the ATH marked in late February of $2.99.<\/p>\n Although it has bounced to just over $0.20 at press time, the future for PI seems rather grim, at least according to ChatGPT and its latest projection<\/a> on the matter. Nevertheless, the unlock schedule will ease in the following weeks, which should reduce the immediate selling pressure on the asset.<\/p>\n A poszt Pi Network Update: Promising News for Users Ahead of Hackathon Deadline<\/a> jelent meg el\u0151sz\u00f6r a CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The popular yet controversial project has come under a lot of criticism as of late, especially when it comes to the performance of its native token.
