Pi Launchpad has completed the distribution of its second Testnet token, SLICE!
Explore the post-launch experience and see how liquidity pools work through the new price tracking feature!
The Launchpad app in Pi Browser shows individual allocation details, the launch and effective token prices, access to the SLICE liquidity pool, and a chart tracking changes in the SLICE price relative to Test-Pi.
Go to the Pi mining app to learn more about the SLICE launch and liquidity pool mechanics.
The Pi mining app side menu and app profile page have been redesigned!
As the first step of a broader mining app design refresh, this update makes important Pioneer info and ecosystem features easier to find, understand, and navigate. Tap the hamburger (☰) icon in the top left of the Pi mining app to check it out.
Since the mining app is a central part of the Pioneer experience and its interface has supported the Pi community’s growth to over 60 million engaged Pioneers, changes to its design and user experience must be introduced thoughtfully and iteratively to improve clarity, style and usability while maintaining core functionalities.
Go to the Pi mining app to learn more, and provide feedback on the new design and style!
On July 22, Pi is scheduled to upgrade to Protocol v25, which primarily focuses on improving network stability and reliability, and supports new capabilities for more efficient, privacy-preserving smart contracts.

The new App Planning Phase feature in Pi App Studio allows creators to develop their ideas with the help of AI before App Studio generates the app.
For example, App Studio may ask for more detail about the app’s:
- Main idea
- Goal
- Design
- User experience
This helps guide creators from an initial idea toward a more complete app concept in a more interactive and dynamic way.
Watch the video walkthrough to learn how the planning process works!
Pi App Studio has released two updates to help creators build more engaging and useful app experiences.
1. Backend support enables persistent user experiences for newly created App Studio apps: Apps can save and retrieve user-specific data across sessions, enabling experiences that continue even after users leave and return.
2. AI-assisted App Planning Phase: Creators can develop their ideas with the help of AI before App Studio generates the app. This helps guide creators from an initial idea toward a more complete app concept in a more interactive and dynamic way.
Go to the Pi mining app to learn more, and create new apps with these features today!
Take on the Pi2Day Ecosystem Quest to celebrate new feature releases and receive a special in-app badge!
The Ecosystem Quest guides Pioneers to complete activities to discover new apps, test ecosystem features, and understand how Pi’s infrastructure supports utility creation across compute, AI, and identity.
Certain steps in the Quest require completing a quiz, so remember to pay attention to the updates! You can show-off your in-app badge in Pi Chats, Fireside Forum, and Pi Social Profiles.
Participate in the Ecosystem Quest by tapping the “Pi2Day” icon on the top right of the Pi mining app home screen. The event will end on July 13.

Pi2Day 2026 reflects how Pi’s utility continues to grow through infrastructure and participation.
- Through SoloHost, Pi Desktop and Nodes can support new local AI app and compute use cases
- Pi Sign-in can help connect those experiences across users, devices, and services
- PiVerify can extend Pi’s real-human verification capabilities to third-party clients.
Together, these releases point to a broader direction for the ecosystem: Pi products are built both for the Pi ecosystem and to extend Pi services and resources to the external world. This, in turn, enriches and strengthens the Pi ecosystem.
Pi’s practical utility is built not only by product releases but by the Pioneers, Node operators, developers, KYC validators, app teams, merchants, and third-party services that use them, test them, and build on them.

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.

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.

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

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.

What are Pi ecosystem tokens and what is the design thinking for ecosystem tokens on Mainnet?
Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan dives deep into Pi’s unique approach to ecosystem token design — Pi’s focus is not on tokens for their own sake, or on mechanisms and integrations in isolation, but on enabling useful, utility-driven tokens and supporting the real innovation behind them.
Learn more on the specifics of ecosystem token design here. Pioneers are encouraged to comment, discuss with other community members and share specific suggestions on specific sections.
