Integrating Pi payments in an app normally requires time and technical expertise from developers. Pi App Studio turned the complexity of payments integration into simple, non-technical and interactive steps in its app creation workflows for creators, enabling them to benefit from Pi payments integration just like developers can.
This marks an important step toward not only enabling non-technical people to create and own functional apps, but also generating creator monetization incentives and fostering sustainable business models for App Studio apps.

Pi Network has released two-factor authentication (2FA) for wallet confirmation that requires some Pioneers to complete 2FA using a trusted email before their Pi is successfully migrated to the Mainnet blockchain.
https://t.co/R1vWWIOXMK
This secures and confirms Pioneers’ Pi Wallets, supporting the security of Pioneers’ accounts and their Pi.
Certain Pioneers who migrated their Pi to Mainnet over the last few weeks—but are still within the 14 day pending period—will also need to complete 2FA; otherwise, their Pi will be securely returned to their mining app. After the completion of the 2FA, their same balance will get migrated again.

This extension especially helps Pioneers who have recently returned and want to reengage with the network now that Open Network is live, upholding Pi’s core objectives of inclusivity and fairness. Submit your KYC application and complete your Mainnet Checklist by 8:00am UTC on March 14, 2025, to avoid any forfeiture.
As always, Pioneers, developers, and businesses are invited to collaborate actively, driving innovation and to ensure that Pi Network remains a sustainable, distributed and robust community. How are you contributing to Pi Network now that Open Network has launched?
An exchange is only a part of a digital currency ecosystem
Only by building more ecosystem applications, including social networking, shopping, music, can Pi Network ultimately achieve its goal: becoming the most inclusive, widely used, Pi-powered blockchain network in the world
The prerequisites for a cryptocurrency to be widely adopted are:
1. A sufficient number of real users holding it.
2. Fast transaction speeds and the ability to support smart contracts.
3. A broad ecosystem of applications.
#PiNetwork is gradually achieving these goals.
How is the Pi you mined doing now?
1. Haven't received KYC yet.
2. Received KYC, but it hasn’t been fully approved yet.
3. Passed KYC and waiting for migration.
4. Pi has already been migrated to the mainnet.
