Day 3: Pi Next Hackathon
The official statement indicates that the new hackathon, Pi Next, will be launched on the last day of the Summit, with a prize pool of 200,000 USDT.
This official article does not announce: hackathon participation rules, prize distribution methods, registration links, or the broadcast time for Day 3. These details will be announced by the official team on 11/19.
Speakers
The official statement indicates that Pi Network founders Chengdiao Fan and Nicolas Kokkalis will participate in the Summit. The article does not specify which day or session they will attend.
OrbitWatch's Observations
Day 3 has the least information among the three days. While the first two days have topics and times, Day 3 only mentions "Hackathon Launch" without a time or rules. For developers interested in participating, the actual details will only be known on that day.
The agenda still doesn't answer the two most frequently asked questions by developers. The agenda topics are developer platform, ecosystem plans, and AI, but there's no mention of when smart contracts will be open to third parties or the mainnet migration process. OrbitWatch will update after the event, comparing the actual content to see if these two points are addressed during the discussion sessions.
