Pi Network @PiCoreTeam joins RoboPay as a payment partner. Pi will be used to pay for robot services across the Fabric network. RoboPay was built to enable AI agents to discover, hire, coordinate, and pay robots autonomously onchain, transforming robots from connected machines into autonomous economic actors capable of providing real-world services. Today, that same infrastructure extends beyond AI. Tens of millions of Pi users will have access to robot services directly through the use of currency that they already hold. Once available, the anticipated robot services may include requesting a delivery robot to bring groceries, dispatching a security robot to patrol a property, scheduling an inspection robot for industrial facilities, or interacting with humanoid assistants in retail and hospitality. Autonomous labor may become as accessible as any digital service. This partnership marks a fundamental shift in how humans are able to interact with robotics. Instead of purchasing robots themselves, users will be able to simply purchase outcomes. Physical intelligence becomes an on-demand service that is discoverable, programmable, and instantly payable through a shared economic network. By connecting humans, AI agents, and robots through the same payment infrastructure, RoboPay and Pi have created the foundation for an open machine economy, where autonomous labor can participate in everyday commerce alongside real people. The future isn't just AI that can think. It's an economy where humans, AI, and robots are all able to transact, collaborate, and create value together.

Reminder: the Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol v26. All Mainnet node operators must complete the upgrade by August 11 to remain connected to the network. Protocol v26 is a major milestone that improves contract safety, state management, interoperability, and cryptographic capabilities ahead of the final planned upgrade, Protocol v27. Details here minepi.com/pi-node

The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 26. Deadline: Aug. 11. All Mainnet node operators must complete the upgrade before the deadline to remain connected to the network. Details here: minepi.com/pi-node Protocol 26 is a major milestone ahead of the final planned upgrade, Protocol 27. With 8 successful upgrades completed over the past few months, these final two upgrades will bring the network up to date with the latest protocol features, improvements, and functionality.

In the Pi Launchpad model, projects issue tokens as tools to acquire users for their applications and integrate those tokens directly into product functionality, such as access, payments, rewards, and governance. Instead of being taken by the issuing project, the proceeds of Pi from their token launch go to a liquidity pool with the ecosystem token, which bootstraps a healthy liquidity foundation from the start. For the SLICE test launch on Testnet, this results in a liquidity pool containing SLICE and Test-Pi. In addition to matching individual buyers and sellers through a traditional decentralized order book on the Pi DEX, the pool uses an automated market maker algorithm to calculate swaps based on the amounts of both assets it currently holds. Learn more about how the SLICE liquidity pool works. minepi.com/blog/launchpad…

Pi Launchpad has completed the distribution of its second Testnet token, SLICE! Explore the post-launch experience and see how liquidity pools work through the new price tracking feature! The Launchpad app in Pi Browser shows individual allocation details, the launch and effective token prices, access to the SLICE liquidity pool, and a chart tracking changes in the SLICE price relative to Test-Pi. Go to the Pi mining app to learn more about the SLICE launch and liquidity pool mechanics.

🚀 Protocol 25 is officially LIVE on Mainnet! Stronger network. Bigger possibilities. Smart contracts are getting closer than ever. Congratulations, Pioneers! 🎉💛 💚

If something is genuinely decentralized, it should not be regulated like a bank. Getting that distinction right took years of work, and we finally have the opportunity to make it law. Let’s pass the Clarity Act.

The Pi mining app side menu and app profile page have been redesigned! As the first step of a broader mining app design refresh, this update makes important Pioneer info and ecosystem features easier to find, understand, and navigate. Tap the hamburger (☰) icon in the top left of the Pi mining app to check it out. Since the mining app is a central part of the Pioneer experience and its interface has supported the Pi community’s growth to over 60 million engaged Pioneers, changes to its design and user experience must be introduced thoughtfully and iteratively to improve clarity, style and usability while maintaining core functionalities. Go to the Pi mining app to learn more, and provide feedback on the new design and style!

On July 22, Pi is scheduled to upgrade to Protocol v25, which primarily focuses on improving network stability and reliability, and supports new capabilities for more efficient, privacy-preserving smart contracts. Go to the Pi mining app to learn more!

The new App Planning Phase feature in Pi App Studio allows creators to develop their ideas with the help of AI before App Studio generates the app. For example, App Studio may ask for more detail about the app’s: - Main idea - Goal - Design - User experience This helps guide creators from an initial idea toward a more complete app concept in a more interactive and dynamic way. Watch the video walkthrough to learn how the planning process works!

Pi App Studio backend support has been enabled! Backend capabilities begin with persistent storage for newly created App Studio apps, allowing apps to save and retrieve user-specific data across sessions. Creators can now build App Studio apps with user experiences that continue even after users leave and return. For example: - Game apps can remember a user’s high scores - Productivity apps can remember a user’s to-do lists - Note-taking apps can preserve notes automatically Before, Pi App Studio apps were largely limited to frontend-only, single-session experiences, where app data such as preferences or progress would disappear if users left the app. Adding backend support is a significant App Studio platform milestone because it expands what AI-created apps can practically do on Pi Network. Persistent storage is the first capability built on this foundation, enabling a broader range of useful, everyday applications. Learn more and create apps with this new feature in Pi App Studio today! minepi.com/blog/app-studi…

Pi App Studio has released two updates to help creators build more engaging and useful app experiences. 1. Backend support enables persistent user experiences for newly created App Studio apps: Apps can save and retrieve user-specific data across sessions, enabling experiences that continue even after users leave and return. 2. AI-assisted App Planning Phase: Creators can develop their ideas with the help of AI before App Studio generates the app. This helps guide creators from an initial idea toward a more complete app concept in a more interactive and dynamic way. Go to the Pi mining app to learn more, and create new apps with these features today!

Europe, we’re all in. 🇪🇺 With both MiCA and PI licenses now in place, Gate is building one of the strongest compliant foundations in Europe. Fully licensed. Fully committed. And we’re only getting started.

Pi2Day 2026 reflects how Pi’s utility continues to grow through infrastructure and participation. - Through SoloHost, Pi Desktop and Nodes can support new local AI app and compute use cases - Pi Sign-in can help connect those experiences across users, devices, and services - PiVerify can extend Pi’s real-human verification capabilities to third-party clients. Together, these releases point to a broader direction for the ecosystem: Pi products are built both for the Pi ecosystem and to extend Pi services and resources to the external world. This, in turn, enriches and strengthens the Pi ecosystem. Pi’s practical utility is built not only by product releases but by the Pioneers, Node operators, developers, KYC validators, app teams, merchants, and third-party services that use them, test them, and build on them. Read the Pi2Day 2026 blog to learn more minepi.com/blog/pi2day202…

PiVerify is a KYC identity verification service available to third-party companies, making Pi’s real-human verification capabilities available outside the Pi ecosystem. With PiVerify, external platforms can verify their users, reduce fake or duplicate accounts, and support compliance-related identity workflows. For businesses and platforms, the need is straightforward: many digital services need to know whether users are real people. Verified identities are needed for any meaningful transactions, especially in real-world economies. PiVerify services are also paid for in Pi, which increases Pi utility. By making this infrastructure available to third parties, the Pi2Day 2026 PiVerify release extends the utility of Pi’s verified identity technology and resources beyond Pi’s own apps and services.

SoloHost expands the utility of Pi Nodes beyond just blockchain validation. Released in Beta on Pi2Day 2026, SoloHost on Pi Desktop gives Pioneers new ways to use their computers to run local apps, AI utilities, distributed computing, and other compute-based use cases. Pioneers can also remotely engage with the corresponding app through mobile devices on Pi Browser. SoloHost also lets developers build and list these local apps through an open, permissionless framework to reach the over 420,000 Pi Node operators who are already running Pi Desktop. Local is key. With SoloHost streamlining access to local applications through Pi Desktop, people can benefit from AI while keeping their data on their own devices, not third-party remote servers. This means: - More privacy. - More control. - Less reliance on cloud services Learn more at minepi.com/blog/pi2day2026

Pi Sign-in allows supported third-party websites and apps to offer Pi accounts as a sign-in or sign-up option. It helps provide the infrastructure that allows applications and services to recognize, connect, and serve users across and outside the ecosystem. This means Pioneers can access supported services with their Pi account instead of creating a new account or password for every app. Why would third-party services or websites want to integrate Pi Sign-in? Pi Sign-in creates a simpler way to connect them with Pi’s large user base and bring Pi users into their own product experiences. It also gives Pi more presence in third-party contexts while offering a way to tap into the additional benefits and resources of Pi Network, besides user traffic.
