Palo Alto, United States, June 30th, 2025, Chainwire New tools expand access to decentralized app creation and engagement.<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://minepi.com/">Pi Network</a>, a utilities-backed Web3 ecosystem with tens of millions of identity-verified users globally, announced product launches and ecosystem upgrades as part of its annual Pi2Day celebration on June 28, 2025. These updates include an AI-powered app creation platform that scales app and utility creation capabilities, and a decentralized app ranking system that orders third party apps through community staking in Pi.AI Meets Blockchain: Launch of Pi App StudioAt the core of the releases is Pi App Studio, a no-code, AI-assisted platform which enables anyone—regardless of technical background—to build and own functional apps in Pi’s decentralized ecosystem. The significance of this AI initiative is threefold:&nbsp;<ol><li>Contributing to the AI application layer of the world. Pi innovates through guided app-creation workflows atop the world’s current AI infrastructure breakthroughs while leveraging the crowd creativity of the Pi community and the distribution channels of Pi’s social network;</li><li>Experimenting to explore an economic model which provides for the sustainable coexistence of human intelligence and AI using blockchain—an essential global problem to solve in the future age of AI; and</li><li>Scaling the grassroots capability of ordinary Pioneers to use their innovation and respective expertise to create apps and develop ecosystem utility using AI and the blockchain.&nbsp;</li></ol>Pi App Studio provides guided AI-powered workflows to facilitate and assist ordinary people to create, customize and run apps using their existing domain knowledge and experience.This allows for more iterations and attempts at app creation by a wider-range of people in a decentralized way—at cheaper engineering costs than the time it took to create such applications in the Web2 era.The current version of the Pi App Studio allows users to either follow one workflow to create topic-specific AI chatbot apps trained on their personal domain knowledge and expertise, or create any type of app without the need to code. More workflows created on top of the current platform can guide the creation of more app types.This marks a strategic step toward Pi Network’s broader vision: solving the world’s important production and social problems through Pi Network, while scaling app production and ownership through AI and blockchain infrastructure.<blockquote> “The ultimate utility of any technology, including blockchain, resides in solving the fundamental problems of humankind. Today we’re at a pivotal moment with respect to AI infrastructure breakthroughs. We continue to see a lack of development with regard to the AI application layer between AI infrastructure and real production—in addition to the lack of clarity regarding the role of human labor, and intelligence in the future, and lingering questions about human wellbeing in the age of AI.&nbsp;
</blockquote><blockquote> Pi, based in blockchain technology and with its large global verified human community, strives to provide innovations and solutions for these problems, in conjunction with the innovative use of and decentralized access to AI to facilitate app creation to further utility for both the Pi community and the world. Pi, in turn, can continue to expand functionality, app creation, utility, and productivity within its ecosystem. If Pi wants to have more apps in its ecosystem, let’s scale creation using the most current technology––AI, enable more people, not just engineers, to be creators, and generate apps of the next generation, not apps of the past era. That was how Pi App Studio was born.” said Chengdiao Fan, Head of Product and one of two Pi Founders.&nbsp;
</blockquote>Ecosystem Directory Staking: Decentralized App SupportPi Network introduced another Platform-level utility: Ecosystem Directory Staking, a mechanism allowing businesses and users to boost the ranking of Pi apps in the Ecosystem Interface by staking Pi tokens on the Mainnet blockchain. Apps with more stakes receive increased global visibility through higher ranking in the Pi ecosystem, creating an incentive loop that rewards quality and community engagement. The mechanism was designed to balance users’ needs for getting relevant and interesting apps. The staking is meant for Pi App developers to decide whether and in which format they want to incentivize their users to stake Pi for their app as the individual Pi Apps are the beneficiaries of the ranking and visibility; there are no rewards on the protocol level. Future iterations of this feature will help calibrate and adjust the specific staking mechanism.&nbsp;This platform-level utility not only relies on the Pi community’s collective resource—attention—but also distinguishes itself from Web2 app ranking systems largely controlled by rigid algorithms or advertising corporations. With Ecosystem Interface Staking, Pi is supporting an app directory of the Web3 world.&nbsp;Additional Ecosystem EnhancementsPi’s Pi2Day 2025 update also includes:<ul><li>Onramper Integration: Pi wallet now integrates Onrampert third-party, KYB-verified on-ramp aggregator that simplifies on-ramp services for Pioneers</li><li>Mainnet Migration: Updates enable more Pioneers to become eligible for migration (in addition to the normal migration flow), unblocking over 500,000 Pioneers who were previously unable to proceed</li><li>Node Updates: Node Version 0.5.2 renames the Node app to “Node Desktop” to be more general, accurate, and open to integrations on desktop computers that are not necessarily related to Node, e.g. Pi App Studio. It now includes the Pi Node and mining app. This version includes other updates such as improved security. Pi released a Node ranking page on Pi Blockexplorer, which displays the top 5,000 Pi Nodes based on key performance metrics.</li><li>.pi Domains Auction Extension: Due to the release of Pi App Studio where many Pioneers can create and run their own apps, thus needing domains for their apps, the .pi Domains Auction’s deadline is extended to September 30, 2025. This provides Pioneers more time to innovate and build functional apps, and to bid for .pi Domains for their apps.</li><li>Ecosystem Challenge: An interactive in-app challenge offers fun rewards to users who explore Pi’s tools and complete ecosystem tasks; it will run until July 7, 2025.</li></ul>These efforts underscore Pi Network’s scalable, utility-focused, and human-centered ecosystem in a world increasingly shaped by AI.About Pi Network<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://minepi.com/">Pi Network</a> is a community of tens of millions of humans mining Pi cryptocurrency to use and build the Web3 app ecosystem. Founded in 2018 by a team of early innovators in blockchain and social computing, with PhDs from Stanford University, Pi Network is a utilities-based ecosystem for third-party apps on a mobile web platform, with widespread (rather than concentrated) token distribution. The blockchain platform offers a mobile-first mining approach, with low financial cost and a light environmental footprint within the crypto space. <h5>Contact</h5>Burr Media Anthony Burr anthony.burrmedia@gmail.com Disclaimer.
