- Pi Network has launched a Rust SDK to enable developers to build, test, and deploy smart contracts on its blockchain.
- A global hackathon with a 160,000 Pi prize pool is running to encourage innovative applications.
Pi Network has launched a Rust Software Development Kit (SDK) to help developers build, test, and deploy smart contracts on its blockchain. This SDK makes development easier, faster, and more secure, while increasing the usefulness of the Pi token.
📢 Breaking: Pi Network Rust SDK 🎙
Pi’s Rust SDK is being built like Stellar’s Soroban Rust SDK, providing the tools, libraries, and CLI for developing, testing, and deploying smart contracts. Work has already started 🖥🚀#PiNetwork pic.twitter.com/a0rF87tJEI— PiNetwork⚡️阿龙 (@fen_leng) October 8, 2025
Easy-to-Use Tools for Developers
The Rust SDK is type-safe and async-first, letting developers interact with Pi Network APIs efficiently. It includes features like cryptographic hashing, signature verification, persistent storage, and secondary contract calls.
A command-line interface (CLI) allows developers to compile, test, and deploy contracts right from their computers. The local testing mode simulates the blockchain environment, helping developers fix errors before contracts go live.

Strong Host Environment
The SDK uses a solid host environment with Rust crates that handle resource tracking, fee processing, and on-chain storage. A WebAssembly interpreter runs contracts quickly and securely. Developers can create advanced features like asynchronous processes, better error handling, and optimized performance.
Hackathon Encourages Innovation
Pi Network is hosting a global Pi Hackathon until October 15, with a 160,000 Pi prize pool. Developers are challenged to build applications that connect merchants and customers and simplify Pi transactions. Prizes include 75,000 Pi for first place, 45,000 Pi for second, 15,000 Pi for third, and rewards for honorable mentions.
The hackathon focuses on practical use, encouraging developers to bring smart contracts into real-world applications.
Growing Pi Network’s Ecosystem
With the Rust SDK, Pi Network is attracting more developers and expanding the blockchain’s capabilities. Its tools make it easier to create smart contracts, decentralized apps, and new solutions. This launch strengthens Pi Network’s position as a hub for blockchain development and innovation.
