This is what I'm being waiting for #PiNetwork @PiCoreTeam

I needed this laugh 🤣🤣🤣 and my day is fired up 🔥🔥🔥

Just as @onrampmoney teased us today on the #Defi gateway upgrade, we got Mainnet Protocol V27 now officially 🟢LIVE, which opens native Transaction Authorization, Launchpad, AMMs, and DEX capabilities to the ecosystem. Let's go 🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥 #PiNetwork @PiCoreTeam

Pi Network's Testnet 2 has successfully upgraded to protocol version V27. Incoming Launchpad loading. #PiNetwork @PiCoreTeam

Pi KYC and Mainnet migration received several technical updates that address corner cases and help unblock more Pioneers in these processes! Go to the Pi app to learn more!

$PI launched three real products. Not another mining gimmick. Stuff outside businesses actually pay for Pi Network announced this on Pi2Day. And it’s worth paying attention to. For the first time, they’re actually shipping products that go beyond their own ecosystem. Three things launched. All three are designed to bring outside businesses and developers into $PI. Not just keep existing users mining on their phones. First, SoloHost. An open framework on Pi Desktop where developers can build and list self-hosted apps for local AI and distributed computing. Users discover them, install them, run them on their own machines. Your data stays on your device. No cloud. They launched a demo called Hermes, an open-source AI agent that runs entirely on your computer. Pi’s got over 420,000 Pioneer-operated nodes. Those can opt in to contribute compute for AI workloads and get paid in Pi. That’s basically a DePIN compute network that’s been building for years. Second, Pi Sign-in. Users can now sign into third-party websites and apps with their Pi account. QR code or browser. No new passwords. Businesses get access to tens of millions of verified users. Users get one less login. That’s Pi letting outside platforms tap the community. Third, PiVerify. Pi’s KYC and real-human check, which they’ve been running internally for years, is now available to external businesses. Need identity verification? Pay in Pi and use their system. That creates token demand from outside the ecosystem. Businesses paying in Pi for a service they actually need. The thread connecting all three is the same. Pi spent years building a massive user base and verification infrastructure. Now they’re packaging it as services outside companies pay for. Compute. Identity. Authentication. All paid in $PI. Pi still has a long road ahead. The token’s market performance hasn’t matched the community hype. There are legitimate questions about centralisation. And “mining” on your phone still makes a lot of crypto people uncomfortable. But 420,000 nodes is real infrastructure. Tens of millions of verified users is real distribution. And shipping three products in one day that create external demand for the token is more than most projects do in a year. Whether you believe in Pi or not, what they just shipped is the most concrete step they’ve taken toward actual utility. And in this market, shipping beats talking every single time

Yet another unannounced partnership @ArcadiaGTM x @PiCoreTeam

SoloHost updates have been released alongside Pi Desktop version 0.6.3! This improves app discovery, reliability, and developer tools. Pioneers can more easily discover actively used SoloHost apps. Reliability improvements and developer resources, such as AI agents compatibility, also support the building and troubleshooting of apps. These updates further support SoloHost’s role in extending the utility of Pi Desktop and Nodes beyond blockchain infrastructure, giving Pioneers more ways to use their computers for self-hosted apps and developers more tools to build and bring apps into SoloHost. Learn more in the Pi app!

Supporting developers is essential to expanding utility at the application level. Developers create products, services, and experiences that give Pioneers more ways to participate in the Pi ecosystem. Improving the underlying development environment helps turn Pi’s technical capabilities and ecosystem resources into applications that Pioneers can use. Learn more about Pi's newly released developer capabilities and developer documentation. minepi.com/blog/dev-capabili…

Pi has introduced new capabilities for developers building on Pi! This includes local storage support, access to app-specific staking data, and file and video sharing. Pi’s new developer documentation is also now released, providing a single destination for technical resources and a clearer path from getting started to building and launching an app on Pi. Improving developer tools is important for Pi’s broader focus on utility because they directly affect the types of apps and services that developers can create for the community and beyond.
