The initial version of the Pi Launchpad has been released as a Pi App on the Testnet with a test token! Because the Launchpad introduces new concepts for many Pioneers and uses mechanisms that differ from typical token launches in Web3, it is being introduced on Testnet first so the community can become familiar with how the process works before the Mainnet launch.
The Launchpad implements the mechanism in Design 1 of the PiRC (https://t.co/TRJcKD4dwS) released on the Open Network anniversary. Read more about the Launchpad in the Pi Day 2026 blog https://t.co/6cUmVcjOos
Pi Network is excited to announce that second migrations have started and will continue with a gradual rollout, opening the door for Pioneers to bring additional Pi to Mainnet and further participate in the ecosystem! While second migrations roll out, first migrations for eligible Pioneers will continue as normal.
To be eligible for migrations, Pioneers must set up Pi Wallet two-factor authentication (2FA) through the Mainnet Checklist Step 3. This may include adding a trusted email address to their accounts if not set up yet. 2FA is enforced before migrations to enhance wallet security because transfers on the blockchain are irreversible and immutable.
Second migrations will also include referral mining bonuses attributable to Referral Team members who fully passed KYC. Pioneers should therefore remind their Referral Teams to complete KYC so these bonuses can be migrated.
Pi is thrilled to announce the winners of Pi Hackathon 2025—the first hackathon after Open Network launch!
Winning apps created meaningful use cases that promote the engagement, accessibility, and utility of Pi. With over 215 Mainnet app submissions, Pi Hackathon 2025 demonstrated developers’ clear motivation to build utility-oriented, production-ready apps on the Pi Mainnet.
Read the announcement to see the top three winners and five honorable mentions.

New features are released in Pi App Studio. Creators can now download and re-upload their app code for further customization and flexibility. This functionality also makes the App Studio a useful prototyping tool for developers that simplifies Pi integration and deployment. Other new features include a new management interface and improved creator interfaces and experience.

Pi Network and OpenMind’s proof-of-concept project, where OpenMind’s AI models can run on Pi Node infrastructure, explores the capability of Pi’s global network of nodes to support decentralized AI training and computing tasks.
By transforming unused computing power into productive work, this platform-level utility (1) enables AI products to source and fulfill their computation demands from Pi Nodes by paying Node runners in Pi, and (2) allows Pi Node runners to opt in to earn Pi from an additional Node utility, apart from Node mining rewards.

Pi Network and OpenMind have completed a proof-of-concept project where volunteer Pi Node operators ran AI models for OpenMind, proving it’s possible for Pi Node operators to run computations for third-party organizations. Learn more https://t.co/8nVMiFUzqT
An additional 3 million Pioneers with Tentative KYC cases can be unblocked by the newly released system process if they submit the required additional liveness checks in the app. So, if your KYC status is Tentative and the app requires you to conduct additional liveness checks, complete them as soon as possible! https://t.co/f9qSdEwoRV
Pi Network’s protocol upgrades will enable functionalities including embedding KYC authority in the protocol that will maintain Pi as a KYC-verified blockchain while offering a more distributed, community-driven KYC process at the protocol level. https://t.co/awWJ43qfA8
As initially announced on Pi2Day, the Pi Wallet now integrates Onramper, a third-party, KYB-verified on-ramp aggregator that simplifies on-ramp services for Pioneers. This integration offers a streamlined way to participate in the Mainnet ecosystem! Onramper can be accessed through the Pi Wallet where Pioneers can choose from available KYB-compliant on-ramp services and utilize the one they prefer, subject to each on-ramps’ regional availability and other restrictions. Note: the only KYB-verified on-ramp partners are Onramp. money, Transfi and Banxa.
Remember you can voluntarily choose to lock up your Pi to boost your mining rate! The Lockup will be immediately binding until your duration ends. https://t.co/lrPpeRYJal
Locking up your Pi helps support a healthy ecosystem and incentivize long-term engagement with the network. You can set your pre-migration Lockups (if you haven’t migrated to Mainnet) via the “Mainnet” tab in the Pi app menu. You can set your post-migration Lockups, which enables up to a 200% Lockup, in the Pi Wallet.
