💫 Community Update

Last week, we shared the first campaign data from the controlled launch.

At that point, we had already managed to optimize our average cost per lead from $8.26 to under $3.50 across Tier 1 markets.

That was already a strong signal.

Since then, the numbers have improved even further.

Across the campaigns, we have now pushed the average cost per lead to under $2.50.

Even more important, one of the campaigns is showing exceptional potential, with leads coming in at around $1 each.

For developer-focused campaigns, especially in competitive markets, this is a very encouraging result.

It means the message is starting to work.

It means the audience understands the problem.

It means the product is being received well.

And it means the direction we chose has real demand behind it.

The feedback received so far confirms what we believed from the beginning:

Developers need better tools that help them move faster, reduce friction, and improve their workflow without forcing them to completely change the way they already build.

This is exactly where we are positioning the product.

The focus now is clear.

By July 15, our target is to scale daily campaign volume, increase the number of qualified leads, and start moving toward positive revenue.

This is the key transition.

From testing to scaling.

From assumptions to data.

From campaign validation to revenue generation.

The reason this matters for ION is simple:

A product that can acquire users profitably can generate recurring revenue.

Recurring revenue can strengthen the ecosystem.

A stronger ecosystem can support treasury growth.

Treasury growth gives us the foundation to activate buybacks.

And once the right stage is reached, the burn mechanism can become part of a much stronger economic cycle.

This is why we are being disciplined.

We are not trying to create a temporary wave of hype.

We are trying to build a real engine.

An engine that brings users in, generates revenue, scales from profit, and creates long-term value for the ION ecosystem.

The early data was good.

The new data is better.

The feedback is positive.

The demand is real.

Now the goal is execution.

Optimize harder.
Scale carefully.
Generate revenue.
Strengthen the treasury.
Prepare the next phase.

Step by step, we are rebuilding ION into something sharper, stronger, and commercially useful.

Everything Pi shipped for Pi2Day points the same direction: real utility, built by the people who use it.

That's the ecosystem CiDi Games is building for. Games, developers, and Pioneers, all connected through Pi.

Happy Pi2Day 🥧🧡💚

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]

As Pi2Day 2026 approaches on Sunday, June 28, Pioneers have four days left to participate in the Vibe Coder campaign with a raffle and the Pi Launchpad Testnet Token SLICE.

Both initiatives help contribute to the growth, development, and use of the Pi ecosystem and its utilities.

Pi2Day has historically been an important moment for Pi Network ecosystem milestones, updates, and feature releases. Participate in the two initiatives now, and stay tuned for Pi2day!

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 (tomorrow, June 28) is a moment to engage with new product releases and gain insight into the direction and priorities of the network.

Reminder: This year, Pioneers also have a timely opportunity to take part in app utilities expansion, community growth, and ecosystem development feedback before the events end tomorrow on June 28.

Participate in the two initiatives, the vibe coder campaign and Pi Launchpad Testnet token, now and stay tuned tomorrow for Pi2Day!

Happy Pi2Day 2026 Pioneers!

Pi Network is celebrating Pi2Day with new releases advancing Pi’s practical utility both within and beyond the Pi ecosystem, and across compute, AI, and identity.

By first providing useful services and resources for external third-parties—such as Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, identity verification, and large globally engaged network—Pi offers multiple unique incentives to not only use Pi’s services but also join and contribute to Pi’s existing ecosystem.

Head to the Pi mining app and read the Pi2Day announcement to learn more about the new SoloHost, Pi Sign-in, and PiVerify releases today!

Also, take part in the Pi2Day Ecosystem Quest to learn more about the new releases, test features, and earn a special in-app badge to commemorate Pi2Day 2026—and show it off!

[Pi Network @PiCoreTeam]

Pi2Day celebrates double Pi Day — June 28th — because one day a year isn't enough to celebrate the Pi community.

Watch the video below and head to the Pi mining app to learn more about Pi2Day 2026’s key releases: SoloHost, Pi Sign-In, and PiVerify!

[Pi Network @PiCoreTeam]

The three key Pi2Day 2026 releases extend Pi’s services to businesses and developers outside the Pi ecosystem, while inviting them to join Pi Network and take advantage of Pi’s unique benefits and resources.

Read the full Pi2Day blog to learn more about the SoloHost, Pi Sign-in, and PiVerify releases.

SoloHost expands the utility of Pi Nodes beyond just blockchain validation.

Released in Beta on Pi2Day 2026, SoloHost on Pi Desktop gives Pioneers new ways to use their computers to run local apps, AI utilities, distributed computing, and other compute-based use cases.

Pioneers can also remotely engage with the corresponding app through mobile devices on Pi Browser.

SoloHost also lets developers build and list these local apps through an open, permissionless framework to reach the over 420,000 Pi Node operators who are already running Pi Desktop.

Local is key. With SoloHost streamlining access to local applications through Pi Desktop, people can benefit from AI while keeping their data on their own devices, not third-party remote servers.

This means:
- More privacy.
- More control.
- Less reliance on cloud services

Pi Sign-in allows supported third-party websites and apps to offer Pi accounts as a sign-in or sign-up option.

It helps provide the infrastructure that allows applications and services to recognize, connect, and serve users across and outside the ecosystem.

This means Pioneers can access supported services with their Pi account instead of creating a new account or password for every app.

Why would third-party services or websites want to integrate Pi Sign-in? Pi Sign-in creates a simpler way to connect them with Pi’s large user base and bring Pi users into their own product experiences. It also gives Pi more presence in third-party contexts while offering a way to tap into the additional benefits and resources of Pi Network, besides user traffic.

[Pi Network @PiCoreTeam]

PiVerify is a KYC identity verification service available to third-party companies, making Pi’s real-human verification capabilities available outside the Pi ecosystem.

With PiVerify, external platforms can verify their users, reduce fake or duplicate accounts, and support compliance-related identity workflows.

For businesses and platforms, the need is straightforward: many digital services need to know whether users are real people. Verified identities are needed for any meaningful transactions, especially in real-world economies.

PiVerify services are also paid for in Pi, which increases Pi utility.

By making this infrastructure available to third parties, the Pi2Day 2026 PiVerify release extends the utility of Pi’s verified identity technology and resources beyond Pi’s own apps and services.

Today my brother bought 13K pi
through the exchange #okx,
he is not a pioneer in the #PINETWORK and does not want to become a member of the #pi and wants to store this coin in a #decentralized wallet.
He doesn't trust central exchanges like okx..
where to store this currency⁉️
