Join Pi’s vibe coder campaign ahead of Pi2Day (June 28)!

Pioneers can participate by joining relevant creator or developer communities and sharing why Pi may be useful for builders who already have prototypes or working apps built through AI platforms. Then submit your public post link in the Pi app for a chance to win Pi Network merchandise!

Wondering how to introduce Pi to vibe coder communities?

Posts introducing Pi can point vibe coders to Pi App Studio, explain how externally created apps can connect with Pi, and highlight the users, payments, ads platform, and broader infrastructure available through the Pi ecosystem.

Pi’s value proposition should be clear:

In the Pi ecosystem, vibe coders building web apps with AI can make their app accessible to 60M+ engaged users, and run their app on built-in payments, identity and ads infrastructure, by simply plugging their service or product into Pi Network.

You can also:

- Introduce Pi opportunities to creator communities;
- Describe how Pi App Studio makes it simple for vibe coders to integrate with Pi;
- Share statistics of organic traction Pi apps have received from the Pi ecosystem;
- Explain why developers and creators should explore Pi.

Pi2Day (June 28) has historically been a time for ecosystem milestones, updates, and feature releases.

Last year Pi released:
- Pi App Studio
- Pi’s vision and solution to address AI-era challenges
- Ecosystem Directory Staking
- Node updates and Node ranking page
- And more!

Stay tuned on June 28 for what’s to come!

[Pi Network @PiCoreTeam]

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.

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.

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.

[Pi Network @PiCoreTeam]

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.

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.

Enjoy the full talk & leave your thoughts on Pi’s approach to tokens and launch mechanisms!
