Last Pi Day we asked Pioneers to share their stories on how they contribute to Pi Network, under the theme #WhatIDoForPi! As we warm up for Pi2Day (June 28) and in the spirit of empowering Pioneers to create ecosystem utility, we’re sharing some of the inspiring videos the Pioneer community submitted for Pi Day. https://youtube.com/watch?v=dn3C7-cZOBM

With new detailed guidelines, the ongoing #PiHackathon is officially underway for Pi’s June Hackathon! This program offers passionate developers and community members an ongoing opportunity to showcase their talents, contribute to the Ecosystem, gain visibility, and even win prizes! https://minepi.com/blog/pi-hackathon/

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. Try Fireside now! https://fireside.pinet.com/channels/Jokes

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/

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.

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.

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!"
