Introducing Pi Apps platform prototype and the first pilot app
We are introducing a limited release of Pi’s Platform prototype and the first 3rd-party app today. As announced last week, we are adopting an iterative user-centric design process to develop the Pi Apps platform, in which the Core Team will have limited releases of the platform prototypes and initial apps during Q2 2020. The interfaces, functionalities, and accessibility of the platform and initial apps will change over the course of the prototyping and testing period before being finalized.
Every Pioneer can participate in the platform prototype testing and use the initial apps, and only the transfer of Pi to the 3rd-party apps requires passing KYC, which will be rolled out to more Pioneers in the next few weeks. The first app FeverIQ is introduced below and in the video on the home screen. Pi will not share any data about Pioneers with the FeverIQ app, except for their Pi username which is necessary for processing any in-app transfers of Pi and will be only shared with explicit consent by the Pioneer; any data you submit inside the FeverIQ app will not be shared with the Pi Network either. All Pioneers can participate in FeverIQ by contributing information about what, if any, symptoms they are experiencing without compromising their privacy due to FeverIQ's privacy-preserving technology. Pioneers can also donate Pi to support FeverIQ if they agree with its cause and have passed KYC. Given the alignment between Pi Network’s value of a distributed global community and the mission of FeverIQ to fight against the pandemic, the Core Team has decided to donate 10,000 Pi from our Developer Fund to the FeverIQ app to reward Pioneers for their contributions of symptoms reports. Below is the detailed introduction of FeverIQ.
Introduction of FeverIQ
The FeverIQ app is created by a startup company in Palo Alto, California, called Enya. Alan Chiu, co-founder and CEO of Enya, and Jan Liphardt, an engineering professor at Stanford University and co-founder of Enya, are presenting FeverIQ in today’s video. Below is the transcript of their video:
Hi! My name is Alan, co-founder and CEO of Enya, a privacy-preserving analytics startup based in Palo Alto, California, and today we are excited to launch FeverIQ on Pi.
Hi! My name is Jan, I’m an engineering professor and co-founder of Enya. I know Nicolas because Nicolas and I teach one of Stanford’s blockchain classes, and the two of us realize there’s an opportunity to build something very interesting.
We created FeverIQ with input from Stanford researchers to bring you the first privacy-preserving survey and map of Covid-19 symptoms at the neighborhood level. By simply checking in every day with how you are feeling, and your test result if you get tested, you help predict where new cases are developing and which symptoms are most indicative of the disease. This is especially important to track the disease in places where testing infrastructure is limited, and to help people with COVID find the right resources for them.
At Enya, we think that the internet needs fundamentally new approaches for reconciling analytics with privacy. We built FeverIQ on our privacy-preserving platform. We use cryptographic techniques like secure multiparty computation and fully homomorphic encryption to allow data sharing and analytics without compromising your privacy. You don’t have to worry about someone else learning about your identity, location, or symptoms.
FeverIQ allows you to securely share your symptoms. You can see a map that updates in real time and shows you the symptoms that other people around you have shared. If you report your test result you will help scientists better understand which symptoms are most predictive of Covid-19. The discoveries from your contribution will also help policy makers manage the pace of reopening the economy.
Because of Enya’s privacy-preserving technology, nobody knows your location or personal information - not even us. We downsample the location to 1km resolution, and never collect any identifiable information about you.
We are excited to work with you to help stop the spread of Covid-19 and to help your neighborhood re-open safely. Together, we’ll tackle one of the most pressing health challenges of the century, while demonstrating the value of Pi’s distributed, global community.
With FeverIQ, you can see what other people around you are saying, you can help scientists better understand the disease, and you can help policy makers make better decisions about how to restart the economy. I’ve been entering my symptoms once a day, and it would be amazing if you could come join us and do that too. Thank you!

介绍 Pi 应用平台原型和第一个试点应用
我们今天将推出 Pi 平台原型的第一个第三方应用。正如上周所宣布的，我们将采用以用户为中心的迭代设计过程来开发 Pi 应用程序平台，在此过程中，核心团队将在 2020 年第二季度有限发布平台原型和初始应用程序。平台和初始应用程序的界面、功能和可访问性将在原型开发和测试期间发生变化，然后才最终确定。
每个先驱者都可以参与平台原型测试并使用初始应用程序，只有将 Pi 转移到第三方应用程序时才需要通过 KYC，未来几周将会有更多先驱者推出 KYC。第一个应用程序是下面介绍的和在主屏幕上的视频。Pi 将不会与发烧 iq 应用程序共享任何关于先锋的数据，除非他们的 Pi 用户名是处理 Pi 在应用程序内的任何传输所必需的，并且只有在先锋明确同意的情况下才能共享;您在本应用程序中提交的任何数据也不会与 Pi 网络共享。所有的拓荒者都可以通过提供他们所经历的症状的信息来参与到“发烧 iq”项目中来，而不会因为“发烧 iq”的隐私保护技术而损害他们的隐私。先锋们也可以捐赠圆周率来支持发烧 iq，如果他们同意它的事业并且通过了 KYC。考虑到 Pi 网络的全球分布式社区价值和发烧 iq 抗击大流行的使命之间的一致性，核心团队决定从我们的开发者基金中向发烧 iq 应用程序捐赠 10,000 Pi，以奖励那些对症状报告做出贡献的开拓者。下面是关于发烧的详细介绍。
引入 FeverIQ
这款名为“发烧智商”的应用程序是由加州帕洛阿尔托一家名为 Enya 的初创公司开发的。在今天的视频中，Enya 的联合创始人兼首席执行官 Alan Chiu 和斯坦福大学工程学教授、Enya 的联合创始人 Jan Liphardt 将为大家展示他们的产品。以下是他们的视频记录:
这就跟你问声好！我是艾伦，恩雅公司的联合创始人兼首席执行官，恩雅公司位于加州帕洛阿尔托，是一家致力于隐私保护的分析型初创公司。
这就跟你问声好！我叫简，是一名工程学教授，也是恩雅公司的联合创始人。我认识尼古拉斯是因为我和尼古拉斯在斯坦福教授区块链课程，我们俩都意识到我们有机会创造一些非常有趣的东西。
我们根据斯坦福大学研究人员的输入创建了“发烧智商”，为您带来第一个隐私保护调查和 Covid-19 症状在社区层面的地图。通过每天简单的检查你的感觉如何，如果你做了检查，你的测试结果，你可以帮助预测新的病例在哪里出现，哪些症状最能说明这种疾病。这对于在测试基础设施有限的地方跟踪疾病并帮助使用 COVID 的人找到合适的资源尤其重要。
在恩雅，我们认为互联网需要根本性的新方法来协调分析和隐私。我们在保护隐私的平台上建立了“发烧 iq”。我们使用加密技术，如安全多方计算和完全同态加密，以允许数据共享和分析而不损害您的隐私。你不必担心别人知道你的身份、位置或症状。
发烧智商可以让你安全地分享你的症状。你可以看到一个实时更新的地图，向你展示你周围的人分享的症状。如果你报告你的测试结果，你将帮助科学家更好地了解哪些症状是最具有预测性的 Covid-19。你们的贡献也将有助于政策制定者把握重新开放经济的步伐。
由于恩雅的隐私保护技术，没有人知道你的位置或个人信息——甚至我们也不知道。我们将位置采样到 1km 分辨率，并且从未收集任何关于您的可识别信息。
我们很高兴与您合作，帮助阻止 Covid-19 的蔓延，并帮助您的社区安全重新开放。我们将共同应对本世纪最紧迫的卫生挑战之一，同时展示 Pi 的分布式全球社区的价值。
有了“发烧智商”，你可以看到你周围的人在说什么，你可以帮助科学家更好地了解这种疾病，你可以帮助决策者更好地决定如何重启经济。我每天都输入一次我的症状，如果你能加入我们的行列，那就太好了。谢谢你！
简评：Pi 全球分布式的价值出现了！这一切仅仅只是开始。Pi 友加油！参与方式如下：
