We are thrilled to announce the second winner of the ongoing #PiHackathon, and the recipient of the 10000 Pi* award: StreamVault! 

StreamVault has emerged as a promising new addition to the Pi Ecosystem. At its core, StreamVault is a subscription-based video streaming platform that’s still in its early stages of development. What sets it apart is its vision—to empower Pioneers to stream videos and receive Pi through subscriptions to their content—and its commitment to executing that core function.

The concept is simple yet powerful: Pioneers can spend Pi to subscribe and watch their favorite videos and creators on StreamVault. This approach not only rewards content creators but also provides a fresh way for Pioneers to utilize their Pi tokens. 

Why we chose StreamVault

What stood out about StreamVault is their focus on a single key use case. Instead of trying to be everything at once, they’ve chosen a specific path to deliver real utility to Pioneers. Video streaming is not a common use case on the Pi platform yet, and StreamVault’s entry promises to fill a gap that will benefit both creators and consumers on Pi. 

The creator of StreamVault chose to build on Pi because “the ability to create applications within a secure and user-focused ecosystem is a game-changer. Pi’s emphasis on user privacy, fairness, and empowerment aligns perfectly with my app’s goals.”

We believe in the potential of StreamVault, and we support and encourage their continued work. As they add more functionality and refine their app, we’re excited to see how they evolve and what they will bring to Pioneers. Keep an eye out for StreamVault’s listing on the Ecosystem UI in the Pi Browser in the future!
