We are happy to launch the Pi application platform in a beta version for developers all over the world, including 1) Pi SDK and the first of its documentation Version, and 2) Pi application platform sandbox for developers to test and visualize their applications. This version, as promised in the Pi Phase 2 strategy that we will launch at the end of the second quarter of 2020, will enable developers to start building applications that integrate Pi currency and be technically ready for the Pi application platform On deployment, millions of Pioneers worldwide can access. It will decentralize the development of the Pi ecosystem and use the power of our global community to realize the breadth and scale of the traditional economy and create real value and utilities.
One of Pi's core principles is to create a simple user experience through progressive decentralization, and this also applies to how we promote developers to build Pi Apps. This is the main reason for adopting industry standard technologies (such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and iframes) for developers to integrate with Pi so that they can focus more on building awesome applications instead of letting complex technologies work. Pi third-party apps will initially click on Pi's backend so that they can iterate their app design and build their use cases and audience (user base). Once they are ready and the blockchain becomes real-time, their back-end will be able to adapt to directly hit Pi Testnet or the mainnet, eventually achieving decentralization. This ensures that the development of utility and decentralization is parallel rather than sequential, just like the Pi network itself.
Technically, the Pi SDK allows developers to develop their applications in the programming language they like on the back end, and integrate with the Pi platform interface through Javascript on the front end. Today's SDK version will include two main functions for developers: 1) Authenticate Pioneer, and 2) Request payment from Pioneer.
For Verification of Pioneer, currently, Pioneer can use third-party applications on the Pi platform only when Pioneer agrees to share its Pi username with a specific Pi third-party application. The reason is that the Pi platform needs to authenticate Pioneer's Pi ID in order to handle any Pi transfers between the third-party application and Pioneer. In the future, we will add a method to preview the application without first authentication. Requesting payment from Pioneer is the main function of this version of Pi SDK. It may seem like a simple interface, but it is important because it means that developers can get Pi paid by providing various applications to Pioneer, and KYCed Pioneer can use their Pi in different applications. This is the backbone of the Pi application platform, and Pi becomes a medium of value exchange, such as goods and services. Based on a thorough analysis of the in-app transfer pilot released last quarter, we first focused on applications that promote increased Pioneers Pi spending because they created demand for Pi in our ecosystem. Future SDK versions will include endpoints that allow more diverse Pi transfer methods on the platform, such as apps to Pioneer, and endpoints that improve user experience, such as sending push notifications, creating chat channels, or allowing users to invite their friends Join the Pi application.
The visualization of such third-party applications can be provided through a demo application in the Pi developer sandbox. In addition to our demo applications, developers can also test and visualize their applications by connecting to the sandbox. They can test applications running on a local computer or hosted on an external web server. Please note that all data about text users in the sandbox is fake and is not connected to real Pioneer data in the Pi network production environment. Registering a test application in the sandbox does not constitute an application running the application in a production environment.
We welcome developers from all over the world to build their applications on Pi, whether they are already pioneers, developers of decentralized applications on other blockchain platforms, or developers who have not yet had experience in the decentralized world. Developers can submit their applications through the form here. We will further announce the selection criteria and procedures for third-party applications in the future. By deploying on the Pi Apps platform, developers will not only help build the Pi Network ecosystem in the process of value creation, but also have access to large and diverse Pi communities around the world, and simply integrate into the decentralized economy, making it impossible for our future world Avoid the part.
