Dear Pioneers,warm greetings..
More than a year has passed since my last post.I faced accusations of defrauding several Pioneers in Indonesia due to the actions of an associate who used 'deepfake AI' technology to impersonate me.I even suffered a personal financial loss of $ 108,000.I'm currently in the process of recovering what is rightfully mine and securing restitution for the Pioneers who were harmed..I'll be back soon..
SoloHost gives Pioneers more ways to use their computers for local AI and easier access to other self-hosted applications, further extending the utility of Pi Desktop and Nodes beyond blockchain infrastructure.
OpenClaw and the Atlassian MCP Server show how SoloHost can support different types of self-hosted software for different user needs, from local AI agents to more specialized developer utilities.
Through SoloHost, people can benefit from AI while keeping more of their data and computation on their own devices and reducing reliance on third-party remote infrastructure.

⏰最近在研究代码库更新的过程中,我发现了一个值得关注的信息。Pi 首席软件工程师李学京在最新更新中,为 Pi 制定了一个标准化的“地址/身份证格式CAIP-2”。简单理解就是:以后支持这套标准的钱包、DApp、其他区块链基础设施,就更容易识别 Pi,并为未来与 Pi 互通打下基础。这个就是“跨链”的雏形。(💻文章中视频有查找方式)
其实在 Pi 的路线图中,早就有过这样一段话:
“开放网络阶段意味着封闭网络阶段的防火墙将被移除,从而允许任何外部连接,例如连接到其他网络、钱包以及任何想要连接到 Pi 主网的用户。”这里提到的“连接到其他网络”,就包含了未来与其他区块链网络互联互通的方向。
🤔用最简单的话来说:原来 Pi 主要在自己的“城市”里跑;未来如果跨链基础设施和跨链桥逐步建立起来,就相当于城市之间的高速公路修通了,可以和其他区块链城市做生意。
1️⃣ Pi 生态资产可以走出去
未来建立相应的跨链桥以后,Pi 生态中的资产就有机会进入 ETH、SOL、BNB Chain 等生态使用;同样,其他链上的资产也有机会进入 Pi 生态。而 Pi 本身又长期围绕 KYC、合规和真实用户体系建设,这会成为它非常有特点的一部分。
2️⃣ 其他链的资产也可以进入 Pi 生态
比如未来 USDC、USDT 等资产通过合适的跨链基础设施进入 Pi 生态,那么外部资金进入 Pi 的应用、游戏、DeFi 等场景就会更加方便。
3️⃣ Pi 生态也能吸引外面的用户跨链从来不是单向的。
Pi → ETH,是出去;
ETH / SOL / BNB → Pi,同样可以是进来。
所以记住一个特别简单的比喻:Pi 以前就像一座发展得很好的岛,岛上有自己的道路、商店和居民。跨链就是给这座岛修跨海大桥。桥修通以后,不仅岛上的人可以出去,外面的用户、资产、资金和生意也可以进来。
这样一来,整个生态的连接范围就更大,流动性也有机会进一步提升。
🌞这几天我还一直在研究 OpenClaw 🦞 和 MCP 服务器。在部署过程中,OpenClaw 既可以采用本地模型,也可以接入 OpenAI API 等外部模型。用大白话讲,就是现在可以通过 Pi Desktop、SoloHost,把这种 AI Agent 能力直接部署到节点电脑上运行。这也是我非常看好的一个方向——让区块链和 AI 进一步融合。
举个最简单的例子:
我觉得 Pi 就像“大哥大时代里的智能手机”。当年大家拿着大哥大,最重要的功能就是打电话。后来智能手机出现以后,人们才慢慢发现:原来一部手机不只是打电话,还可以拍照、导航、支付、办公、玩游戏,甚至最后成为整个移动互联网的入口。我觉得 Pi 现在走的也是类似的思路。很多公链首先解决的是转账、交易和链上资产的问题,而 Pi 一直在不断往外扩展:KYC → 钱包 → 支付 → App Studio → 智能合约 → 节点 → RPC → SoloHost → OpenClaw → MCP → 本地 AI。它不是做完一条区块链就停在那里,而是在不断给这套系统增加新的能力。从区块链,到应用生态,再到 AI 与节点计算,边界正在一点点往外扩展。
不止于前,不止于此。
另外再讲一件值得期待的事情:Pi 投资的第三家公司 Axis Robotics,预计未来 1—2 个月可能会带着新的成果出现,我也会继续关注它接下来的进展。最后也祝愿各位叔叔阿姨、哥哥姐姐:
身体健康,万事如意,越来越好。💐@PiCoreTeam@nkokkalis@Chengdiao

Following the successful completion of the Protocol 26 upgrade on Pi Mainnet, Pi Testnet is upgrading to Protocol 27!
Protocol 27 introduces more flexible and secure smart contract authentication capabilities, enabling more advanced ways for accounts and applications to authorize transactions. The upgrade continues Pi’s broader work to incorporate newer protocol features and expand the network’s smart contract capabilities.
The target date for the Mainnet upgrade to 27 is September 15, 2026.
Pi Network just added Cursor to App Studio and now Cursor is part of SpaceX. What does this connection mean for the future of Pi? 🔥
BREAKING: SpaceX has officially acquired Cursor, the AI-powered code editor that Pi Network recently integrated into Pi App Studio! 🚀
Why this connection matters:
🔹 Pi Network added Cursor as an external AI tool in App Studio — allowing developers to build apps using Cursor, then deploy them to Pi's 60M+ user ecosystem.
🔹 SpaceX now owns Cursor — bringing AI code generation into the same ecosystem as Grok, SpaceXAI, and the world's most ambitious space technology.
This is a unique cross‑connection:
1️⃣ Pi App Studio is now part of the AI‑building pipeline — developers using Cursor (now SpaceX) can deploy directly to Pi.
2️⃣ AI meets blockchain meets real‑world utility — the tools building the future of AI are now connected to the tools building the future of decentralized finance.
3️⃣ A signal of where the industry is heading — AI, blockchain, and space technology are converging. Pi Network is positioned at the center of that intersection.
The future is being built by:
🤖 AI — Cursor, Grok, SpaceXAI
🌐 Blockchain — Pi Network, 60M+ users, 421K+ nodes
🚀 Space — SpaceX, Mars, beyond
Pi isn't just a crypto project. It's part of the infrastructure stack for the future of technology.
👇 What would you build with Pi + Cursor + Grok if you had the chance? 😉

🚨 BREAKING: Pi Network is changing Pi App Studio pricing starting August 24.
Today, creators pay just 0.25 $Pi to create an app and 0.25 Pi to edit it.
That changes next week.
🔹 Standard pricing will better reflect the actual AI service costs.
🔹 Creators with apps attracting real users and providing real utility can continue receiving subsidized pricing.
🔹 Eligibility will be reviewed regularly and can change over time.
🔹 Pi says it will focus its subsidies on apps that actually contribute utility to the ecosystem.
The message is clear:
Build useful apps. Get real users. Earn continued support.
Pi is moving App Studio from experimentation toward a more utility-driven ecosystem. 🔥
