OpenClaw and the Atlassian MCP Server are now featured in SoloHost on Pi Desktop, expanding the range of self-hosted tools users can run locally.
OpenClaw offers a more contained local AI setup with streamlined installation, while the Atlassian MCP Server supports AI-integrated Jira workflows for professionals through a locally run connection.
Go to the Pi mining app to learn more about both apps and how SoloHost expands the utility of Pi Desktop and Nodes beyond blockchain infrastructure by bringing new AI and developer tools into the Pi ecosystem.
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.
Along with the new Node 0.6.2 release, Pi has completed an initial distributed computing functionality test through SoloHost with five volunteer Node runners.
The devices operated by all five participants successfully completed the computing tasks sent to them automatically through a SoloHost app.
The test validated the end-to-end flow of tasks across real devices, including connecting to a Pi coordinator, receiving and processing computing jobs, and reporting results back.

The Pi Node version 0.6.2 has been released!
This introduces improvements to SoloHost, Node connectivity, and the Pi Desktop user experience.
In parallel, Pi has successfully completed a distributed computing test through a SoloHost app, further advancing the utility of Pi Nodes beyond supporting the Pi blockchain.
Together, these updates make it easier to run and manage applications on Pi Nodes and SoloHost, while advancing their distributed computing utility.

The Pi2Day 2026 Ecosystem Quest ran from June 28 – July 13, celebrating and highlighting Pi2Day’s major ecosystem and utility-supporting updates.
The Quest guided Pioneers to complete activities that help them discover new apps, test ecosystem features, and understand how Pi’s infrastructure supports utility creation across compute, AI, and identity.
Pioneers who completed the Quest also received a special-edition in-app badge accessible in Pi Chats and Pi Social Profiles.

The Pi2Day 2026 Ecosystem Quest saw incredible participation with over 2.56 million Pioneer participants, and over 1.78 million of them completing every step to claim this year’s special-edition badge.
Congratulations to everyone who celebrated Pi2Day by exploring the Pi ecosystem and the new Pi2Day releases: SoloHost, Pi-Sign-in, and PiVerify.

Even if Pi reaches that price, many people still won't achieve financial freedom. Because they hold too little Pi, and participating in the ecosystem is one of the best ways to grow your Pi holdings and create more value.
Victory favors those who work hard, and opportunity belongs to those who take action.
Go build, go contribute, go create, Pioneers! 🚀✨
Pi launches DEX, Launchpad, and an AI computing marketplace, then “real-human identity + AI computing + blockchain payments” may become its core ecosystem direction. At the current stage, the official initiatives that have already been deployed are AI KYC, PiVerify, and SoloHost, while the larger AI ecosystem is still in the expansion phase.
Pi Network @PiCoreTeam joins RoboPay as a payment partner. Pi will be used to pay for robot services across the Fabric network.
RoboPay was built to enable AI agents to discover, hire, coordinate, and pay robots autonomously onchain, transforming robots from connected machines into autonomous economic actors capable of providing real-world services.
Today, that same infrastructure extends beyond AI.
Tens of millions of Pi users will have access to robot services directly through the use of currency that they already hold. Once available, the anticipated robot services may include requesting a delivery robot to bring groceries, dispatching a security robot to patrol a property, scheduling an inspection robot for industrial facilities, or interacting with humanoid assistants in retail and hospitality. Autonomous labor may become as accessible as any digital service.
This partnership marks a fundamental shift in how humans are able to interact with robotics. Instead of purchasing robots themselves, users will be able to simply purchase outcomes. Physical intelligence becomes an on-demand service that is discoverable, programmable, and instantly payable through a shared economic network.
By connecting humans, AI agents, and robots through the same payment infrastructure, RoboPay and Pi have created the foundation for an open machine economy, where autonomous labor can participate in everyday commerce alongside real people.
The future isn't just AI that can think. It's an economy where humans, AI, and robots are all able to transact, collaborate, and create value together.
Reminder: the Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol v26. All Mainnet node operators must complete the upgrade by August 11 to remain connected to the network.
Protocol v26 is a major milestone that improves contract safety, state management, interoperability, and cryptographic capabilities ahead of the final planned upgrade, Protocol v27.

The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 26. Deadline: Aug. 11.
All Mainnet node operators must complete the upgrade before the deadline to remain connected to the network. Details here: https://t.co/ENIm1nu6S1
Protocol 26 is a major milestone ahead of the final planned upgrade, Protocol 27. With 8 successful upgrades completed over the past few months, these final two upgrades will bring the network up to date with the latest protocol features, improvements, and functionality.
