Help bring more AI-created apps to the Pi ecosystem and enter a raffle to win Pi Network merch!
Pioneers are invited to introduce Pi App Studio to vibe coders and AI-builder communities around the world.
Why?
Because as AI makes building apps easier, competition for human attention and user acquisition becomes more intense.
Pi App Studio helps creators connect AI-built apps to:
60M+ engaged Pioneers
Built-in payments
Identity infrastructure
Pi Ad Network
And more!
Find a relevant builder community, share how Pi can help creators reach real users, then submit your post through the Pi App to enter the raffle.
By helping more creators discover Pi, Pioneers can help expand the range of apps, tools, and services available in the Pi ecosystem. A stronger app ecosystem gives Pioneers more ways to use Pi, support useful products, and participate in real utility.
Go to the Pi mining app to learn more.
Vibe coders and creators can now tap into Pi Network’s massive user base of over 60 million Engaged Pioneers by easily bringing their external AI-created apps to Pi’s real distribution network and utility ecosystem through Pi App Studio!
Creators, who may be technical developers or non-technical product people, can build apps using platforms such as Codex, Claude Code, Replit, Cursor, Lovable or other AI-assisted coding tools, and then use Pi App Studio to convert those apps into Pi Apps.
That changes the equation for creators.
AI can already help people generate apps quickly; the harder part is distribution and turning those apps into products people actually use.
Pi helps close that gap.
Instead of rebuilding infrastructure from scratch, creators can connect their apps to an existing ecosystem with users, payment capabilities, identity verification, decentralized human infrastructure and platform-level tools already in place.
This feature makes Idea → App → Users that much faster.
Because your ideas are too good not to be seen.
Try the Pi App Studio Now! If you’re a vibe coder or know someone building apps with AI who needs distribution, head to Pi App Studio today to convert AI-created apps into Pi Apps and access the Pi ecosystem’s users, infrastructure, and monetization opportunities.
The Pi Founders are featured speakers at Consensus 2026 in Miami this week.
Chengdiao Fan will speak on Wednesday, May 6 (11:15–11:35 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) on “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” exploring how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility‑driven products and AI‑era business models.
Nicolas Kokkalis will join a panel on Thursday, May 7 (10:15–10:45 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) titled “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” exploring how the internet’s trust model is breaking as AI systems become capable of creating bots that can generate profiles and interact like real users.
Together, these sessions highlight Pi’s approach to the AI era: supporting utility-driven products and sustainable business models through blockchain, verified identity, and a globally engaged network, while enabling global identity verification and providing authenticity solutions through Pi’s native KYC solution.
See you there, Pioneers!
Dear community
We are aware of a serious failure in one of our major services and we are working on it
We are going to stabilize it soon
Thanks for your patience

Pi is tackling one of the most urgent problems in the AI era: proving real human identity online.
Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis will speak on a panel at Consensus 2026 on Thursday, May 7, from 10:15-10:45 AM EDT at the Convergence Stage.
The session, “How to Prove You're Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” explores how the internet’s trust model is breaking as AI systems become capable of creating bots that can generate profiles and interact like real users.
At the core of the discussion is a simple challenge: how do you verify a real human online without exposing private identity data?
Want to know how? Join us in Miami on May 7th!
See you there!
Pi’s first smart contract capability is now live on Testnet: subscriptions!
This fosters real, recurring, utility-driven use cases.
Think e-commerce, streaming, online tools, and more, powered on-chain.

To complete first or second migrations, Pioneers must set up Pi Wallet two-factor authentication (2FA) through Step 3 of the Mainnet Checklist.
This step is required to further strengthen account and wallet security before real Pi is transferred, an irreversible and immutable blockchain transaction.
To complete 2FA, Pioneers may need to add a trusted email address if one has not been set up yet.
