Pi Network Announce 2023 Hackathon Winners Designed to Improve the Pi Ecosystem



The Pi Core team and Pioneers reviewed over 360 eligible project submissions with top-notch utilities designed to improve the Pi ecosystem.
Building the Entire Pi Ecosystem
On Thursday, April 13, Pi Network announced the winners of the 2023 Q1 Pi Hackathon, designed to build its mobile mining Web3 ecosystem.
The event, which spanned from January 9 to March 5, saw over 360 project submissions from more than 6700 participants. The hackathon brought together developers and non-developers to create utilities with the Pi currency in the enclosed mainnet period. Further, Pioneers were authorized to review project submissions based on their use cases and real-world utilities.
In an exclusive statement with BSC News, Pi Network’s Head of Product, Dr. Chengdiao Fan stated that the Hackathon is a reminder that building the Pi Network ecosystem is a collective effort from the entire Pi community after Pioneers’ dedication in reviewing project submissions.
“The Pi Core team was encouraged by not only the hundreds of submitted projects—including apps for social media, marketplaces, block explorers, games, and more—but also the tens of thousands of Pioneers who helped review each and every submission. This hackathon was a good reminder of what we know to be true: building the Pi ecosystem will take the entire community’s participation,” Dr. Fan said.
After Pioneers and the core team reviews, Pi Network selected nine Hackathon winning projects. The winners were divided into different categories, including the overall winner, with three runner-up winners, four theme category winners, and one winner of the VC judging round. Members of these projects represent over 11 countries across four continents.
Polls for Pi, a Web3 polling app that pays Pioneers in Pi for participating in the polls, was selected for the top prize. The app’s simplicity, user-friendly design, and clear utility for the Pi cryptocurrency all contributed to its win, as did its participation in the PiOS program, making its code available for further use by other teams within the Pi ecosystem.
Three runner-up winners are Coinscro, an escrow system and disputes resolution mechanism to enable secure and trusted P2P bartering of Pi; Piketplace, a project to facilitate transactions of goods for Pi and enable Pioneers to pay each other in Pi for the courier services; and Connect Social, a social media app enabling the formation of subcommunities and Pi tipping for content.
Four additional teams won theme category awards for social media, games, consumer utility, and open innovation, while one team, ExplorePi, a Pi Mainnet block explorer with interactive graphs, was chosen for winning a separate VC Judging round. Nine other teams with various use cases received honorable mentions in recognition of their contribution to the Pi ecosystem.
For the full list of winners, refer to the Pi Network blog.
What is Pi Network?
Pi Network is a mobile mining blockchain with an application that lets people earn Pi coins by doing simple tasks on their phones. However, the project remains in its development stage with delivery of an open mainnet still a matter of speculation, with no launch date confirmed.
With this in mind, the protocol remains in its testnet stage and will apparently go live when many users (Pioneers) complete the mandatory KYC procedure while the core team works on developing its ecosystem.
Pi Network is also reported to be under investigation by authorities in Vietnam and users should exercise a high degree of caution when interacting with the project and ensure they have conducted sufficient research before doing so.

Lucidao Unveils Bold Rebrand: Pioneering the Tokenization of Real-World Assets

The rebranding underscores Lucidao's commitment to bridging real-world assets and blockchain technology.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform Lucidao has recently unveiled its new look alongside a redefined mission. With the launch of a revamped website, Lucidao is taking a significant step towards the tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWAs), strategically positioning itself as a leading force in the intersection of blockchain technology and Real-World Assets.
The core of Lucidao's transformation lies in a strategic shift – a commitment to making the tokenization of RWAs its primary mission. This goes beyond a mere rebrand; it signifies a pivotal moment for the platform, where every innovation and product creation revolves around the tokenization and digitization of real-world assets.

At the forefront of Lucidao's success is Altr, a decentralized application (dApp) that set the stage for bringing physical luxury collectibles onto the blockchain. This initiative, born out of Lucidao's governance process, showcases the vast possibilities within Lucidao's expansive vision for RWAs.
Lucidao's Approach to Empowering Stakeholders
Empowerment is a cornerstone of Lucidao's approach to asset tokenization and digitization. Lucidao token ($LCD) holders aren't just passive investors; they are active contributors shaping the platform's trajectory. This unique governance model transforms each $LCD holder into an engaged participant, with the ability to propose, debate, and enact initiatives, fostering an agile and adaptive environment.
The $LCD token plays a central role in Lucidao's ecosystem, serving as a versatile utility token integral to governance, transaction fees, and participation in Quickswap's liquidity pool farming. Recognizing the importance of community involvement, Lucidao is set to introduce a Fiat onramp on its new website, making it easier for individuals to directly acquire $LCD tokens.
Beyond Luxury Collectibles: Lucidao's Expansive Vision
Lucidao's vision extends far beyond luxury collectibles. While Altr showcased the platform's capabilities, Lucidao aims to be an ecosystem that embraces a wide array of real-world assets on the blockchain. The advantages are manifold, ranging from increased liquidity and fractional ownership to the transparency and immutability inherent in blockchain technology. The new website acts as a comprehensive guide to these transformative initiatives, illustrating Lucidao's commitment to unparalleled innovation and inclusivity.
Lucidao's bold rebrand marks a transformative chapter in the platform’s journey as it establishes itself as a pioneer in the tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWAs). The unveiling of a revamped website symbolizes a strategic commitment, not just to aesthetics, but to a profound shift where every facet of innovation orbits around the digitization of tangible assets. Through empowerment and community involvement, Lucidao propels itself as a catalyst for innovation and inclusivity, setting the stage for an innovative approach to asset management in both digital and physical realms.
About Lucidao
Lucidao is a DAO with a primary focus on the tokenization and digitization of Real-World Assets (RWAs). Originating as an independent entity, Lucidao has given life to projects like Altr through its decentralized governance model. Using the $LCD utility token for all ecosystem interactions, Lucidao is paving the way for a transformative approach to managing assets in both the digital and physical realms, providing not just access but empowerment to community members.
