The Core Team behind the popular project has unveiled its first-ever Pi Ecosystem Summit, a three-day online event scheduled to begin in a month.
It will focus on new platform updates, developer tools, applications, and an upcoming hackathon as Pi Network continues trying to expand real-world utility for Pi.
What Will Be Announced
According to the latest publication on the only official Pi Network X channel, the three-day event will include platform updates, developer-tool demonstrations, app showcases, and discussions between devs and the Core Team. This could be particularly important, as the summit highlights how developers use Pi’s infrastructure and what additional tools or support they need to build more useful services for the vast Pioneer base.
Perhaps the most notable part of the entire event would be the upcoming Pi hackathon, with more details expected during the summit. The event is also expected to extend Pi Network’s increased focus on developers throughout the year. The team already has recurring online gatherings scheduled twice a year, including Pi Day and Pi2Day. Both are related to dates mathematically connected to 3.14.
Pi Network is introducing the first-ever Pi Ecosystem Summit, a three-day online event on November 17–19, 2026!
While Pi Day and Pi2Day celebrate progress across the broader Pioneer community and network, the Pi Ecosystem Summit will focus on developers, the Pi platform, and the apps and utilities they build to serve Pioneers and expand Pi’s utility.
The Summit will feature new platform announcements, developer tool demos, partner and community app showcases, conversations with developers, and details about an upcoming all-new Pi hackathon.
Developers and Pioneers can explore resources for building on Pi and discover apps and utilities across the ecosystem.

Pi Day brought the Launchpad MVP, Mainnet-enabled Pi App studio functionality, second migrations, and important protocol groundwork. Pi2Day, on the other hand, expanded the ecosystem further through SoloHost, Pi Sign-in, and PiVerify.
Another Big Date
The summit arrives during an active period for the Core Team as they spent the recent months upgrading the underlying protocol, addressing KYC and Mainnet migration bottlenecks, and exploring stablecoin utility through its fresh partnership with Open Standard.
That collaboration, announced just a few weeks ago, could eventually include OUSD-related rewards and additional payment use cases, although the team emphasized that PI will remain the ecosystem’s primary cryptocurrency.
Meanwhile, the native token’s price recently tumbled to well below $0.08. Although it has rebounded from the $0.077 lows, it still hasn’t reclaimed the $0.08 support.
