KYC validator rewards distribution continues to make progress in line with the previously announced timeline! Its design was finalized, implementation was completed, and currently the work is being tested. Testing is incredibly important, as it affects the distribution of Pi payments to KYC validators for their work in the KYC process of millions of Pioneers. The target remains deployment by the end of this quarter (March 2026).
As the new year starts, it’s time to build! Pi Network has released a new developer library that enables Pi payments to be integrated into Pi apps in under ten minutes. The library combines the Pi SDK and backend APIs into a single setup, reducing integration time across common stacks. https://t.co/Ws5eywwGdW
By simplifying payment integration, developers can instead spend more time creating and improving actual products for users, aligning with Pi’s longer term strategy to strengthen and expand Pi’s utility-driven ecosystem. Learn more and check out the documentation and demo videos explaining how to use the library.
As 2025 comes to a close, Pi remains focused on steady progress, responsible building, and long-term utility creation. Thank you to all Pioneers for being part of the journey, and happy new year! https://t.co/EX3YNdSlt1
