Pi Network has over 60 million Engaged Pioneers. For developers, that creates an important opportunity: How do useful apps get discovered by these millions of people on Pi? Ecosystem Directory Staking was built to help answer that. It is a decentralized way for Pioneers and businesses to actively support and promote the ranking of Pi apps and utilities in the Ecosystem Interface. Staking through this feature increases an app’s exposure to the Pi community, helping boost visibility within the ecosystem. This feature provides a self-service avenue for developers and creators to use Pi to tap into the attention resource of Pi Network to acquire users. As AI makes app creation easier and easier, the challenge shifts from building products to getting them in front of people. Ecosystem Directory Staking improves ecosystem discovery, making it easier for developers and creators to connect with users, and easier for users to discover new apps. minepi.com/blog/ecosystem…

Reminder for all Pi Mainnet Node operators: The majority of Mainnet node operators have already successfully upgraded to Protocol v25. If you have not yet upgraded your node, please do so at your earliest convenience to remain connected to the network. As with previous upgrades, the process is straightforward and should take only a few minutes to complete. Details: minepi.com/pi-node

Ecosystem Directory Staking just got a new look and improved user experience! Originally launched on Pi2Day 2025, staking through this feature increases an app’s exposure to the Pi community, resulting in more impressions and potentially more user traffic. By staking Pi, Pioneers can collectively support apps and services while developers and creators can promote their apps and tap into Pi’s 60M+ engaged community to acquire users. The update prepares the feature for further utilization by developers, creators, vibe coders and Pioneers as more apps onboard to the ecosystem. Note there are no rewards at the protocol level for staking, and the original staked amount will be returned once the staked duration has ended. Go to the Pi home screen to learn more about Ecosystem Directory Staking and check out the recent design updates to the Ecosystem Interface.

Pi2Day (June 28) is approaching, and Pi’s vibe coder campaign will continue until that date! What exciting apps are you building ahead of Pi2Day? Vibe coders (app creators using AI) can use Pi App Studio to easily convert their apps built through platforms such as Codex, Claude Code, Replit, Cursor, Lovable or other AI-assisted coding tools, into Pi Apps. Pi can connect your AI-created apps with millions of engaged Pioneers, identity verification and Pi’s utility ecosystem. Learn more and deploy vibe coded apps on Pi today! minepi.com/vibe-code/

One of the purposes of the Pi Launchpad test token launches is to introduce Pioneers to new ecosystem token mechanics and educate the community on how to participate with DeFi mechanisms. The first test token provided useful data and highlighted areas where the Launchpad experience needed improvement. The updated participation flow is simpler and clearer. Participation is now centered around the commitment amount, which has the direct effect on token acquisition. A Pioneer chooses how much Test-Pi they want to commit, and the Launchpad automatically calculates the related “fair-access hold,” and then shows the commitment amount, hold amount, and total together before confirmation. The goal is to make it easier to understand and use the Pi Launchpad, and preserve the intended fair-access effect of the hold. Learn more and test the second SLICE token on Testnet today! The SLICE test token launch will be open for participation until Pi2Day, June 28, 2026. minepi.com/blog/launchpad…

Pi Launchpad has updated its participation flow and model, incorporating data and feedback from the first Testnet token that launched on Pi Day 2026! The first Launchpad test token attracted over 478,000 participating Pioneers and generated valuable feedback on the Launchpad mechanism. That feedback has now been incorporated into a simpler participation flow, updated Launchpad mechanics, and an improved user experience. A second test token “SLICE” is now live on Testnet to help evaluate if the updates can achieve these goals, and to give Pioneers another chance to learn the new ecosystem token mechanics. As a reminder, SLICE is a Testnet token and will never go onto Mainnet. To participate: • Open Pi Launchpad in Pi Browser • Review the SLICE test token and project • Choose a commitment amount in Test-Pi • Confirm participation • Engage with the Slice of Pi app and provide feedback Participation will remain open until Pi2Day on June 28.

Watch Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis speak in the Consensus 2026 panel “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself)”. The discussion focused on how digital trust and identity verification systems must evolve as AI makes it possible to generate bots, agents, and synthetic identities that closely resemble real human behavior at scale. The panel explored a core question for the AI era: how systems can continue to verify real human participation without requiring unnecessary disclosure of personal information. A key theme was that proof of humanity is context-dependent, with different systems requiring different levels of verification depending on use case and risk. The importance of privacy-preserving design was also highlighted, ensuring verification can scale while remaining usable for real users. As AI lowers the barrier to building and interacting online, the harder challenge may be connecting digital systems to real users, trusted participation, and meaningful utility. Pi’s Layer 1 blockchain, identity verification, payments infrastructure, non-custodial wallets, smart contracts, and engaged global community are all part of Pi’s ongoing work to address that challenge.

Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan’s talk at Consensus 2026 was centred on a simple but important challenge: The frequent misalignment between token design and real product innovation. Her presentation, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” explored how tokens can be treated as tools that can support user acquisition, product engagement, and long-term utility. One implementation of this approach is Pi Launchpad, Pi’s design for ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms that aims to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences. As AI makes it easier to build applications, the limiting factor is no longer creation. It is distribution and usage. Pi’s approach combines blockchain infrastructure, innovative token and launch mechanisms, identity verification, and a large engaged network of real users to address that gap directly.

Big kudos to Mainnet Node operators for upgrading to v23. Most major Nodes have now been upgraded, and the protocol is expected to move to v23 soon. This was one of the most challenging upgrades to date, as it involved multiple subsystem upgrades and optimizations that required internal data reprocessing. Protocol 22 -> 23, Ubuntu 20 -> 24, PostgreSQL 12 -> 16
