Pi Network Unveils New Launchpad Experience

Pi Network (@PiCoreTeam) $PI has launched an updated participation flow for its Launchpad test token program.

The new system focuses on commitment amounts and automatically calculates the fair access hold.

The changes follow feedback gathered from the first test token launch.

Users can now see commitment amounts, hold amounts, and total allocations before confirmation.

The update aims to improve clarity and accessibility.

[The Crypto Times @CryptoTimes_io]

NEW: $Pi Network has updated its Launchpad participation model.

The new flow simplifies participation by centering it around the commitment amount, with automatic calculations for fair-access holds.

The second SLICE test token launch is now live on Testnet until Pi2Day (June 28).

[Pi Network @PiCoreTeam]

Pi2Day (June 28) is approaching, and Pi’s vibe coder campaign will continue until that date! What exciting apps are you building ahead of Pi2Day?

Vibe coders (app creators using AI) can use Pi App Studio to easily convert their apps built through platforms such as Codex, Claude Code, Replit, Cursor, Lovable or other AI-assisted coding tools, into Pi Apps.

Pi can connect your AI-created apps with millions of engaged Pioneers, identity verification and Pi’s utility ecosystem.

[Pi Network @PiCoreTeam]

One of the purposes of the Pi Launchpad test token launches is to introduce Pioneers to new ecosystem token mechanics and educate the community on how to participate with DeFi mechanisms.

The first test token provided useful data and highlighted areas where the Launchpad experience needed improvement.

The updated participation flow is simpler and clearer. Participation is now centered around the commitment amount, which has the direct effect on token acquisition. A Pioneer chooses how much Test-Pi they want to commit, and the Launchpad automatically calculates the related “fair-access hold,” and then shows the commitment amount, hold amount, and total together before confirmation.

The goal is to make it easier to understand and use the Pi Launchpad, and preserve the intended fair-access effect of the hold.

Learn more and test the second SLICE token on Testnet today! The SLICE test token launch will be open for participation until Pi2Day, June 28, 2026.

[Pi Network @PiCoreTeam]

Pi Launchpad has updated its participation flow and model, incorporating data and feedback from the first Testnet token that launched on Pi Day 2026!

The first Launchpad test token attracted over 478,000 participating Pioneers and generated valuable feedback on the Launchpad mechanism. That feedback has now been incorporated into a simpler participation flow, updated Launchpad mechanics, and an improved user experience.

A second test token “SLICE” is now live on Testnet to help evaluate if the updates can achieve these goals, and to give Pioneers another chance to learn the new ecosystem token mechanics. As a reminder, SLICE is a Testnet token and will never go onto Mainnet.

To participate:
• Open Pi Launchpad in Pi Browser
• Review the SLICE test token and project
• Choose a commitment amount in Test-Pi
• Confirm participation
• Engage with the Slice of Pi app and provide feedback

Participation will remain open until Pi2Day on June 28.

Pi Network Refines Launchpad Architecture with Second Testnet Token Deployment

PiCore Team (@PiCoreTeam) released its second Testnet token, $SLICE, to optimize the participation flow of the Pi Launchpad ahead of the 2026 Open Mainnet transition.

This update follows a data-driven analysis of the initial $IRRA test launch, which recorded 478,000 participating Pioneers staking 36.05 million Test-Pi.

The revised model simplifies the interaction between staking and committing actions to reduce user drop-off observed during previous testing cycles.

[BSCN @BSCNews]

Will $PI ever hit $1 again...?

We asked three major LLMs whether or not @PiCoreTeam's $PI coin will ever hit $1 again. Here's what we got. What's your opinion?

GROK: "Yes."

CHATGPT: "Unknown."

CLAUDE: "I can't give you a one-word yes or no on this one."

[Prompt: Will the price of Pi Network's $PI coin ever rise above $1 again? Please give me a one word answer: Yes or No.]

[Ben @BenX_HQ]

🤔 grok thinks $pi goes to $1!

[The Crypto Times @CryptoTimes_io]

UPDATE: Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 25.

Deadline: June 18

All Mainnet nodes must complete the upgrade before the deadline to stay connected to the network.

Pi says this upgrade may take longer than usual, so node operators should plan accordingly and avoid waiting until the last minute.

[Banxa @BanxaOfficial]

Building used to be the hard part until AI changed that.

Now it's distribution, and @PiCoreTeam is solving it for an entirely new wave of creators.

When those apps are ready to handle real payments across borders, we'll be here 👋

[Pi Update @CoreNews_2]

What’s coming from $Pi Network on Pi2Day (June 28)? 👀

• Smart Contracts
• $PI Launchpad
• PiDEX
• Binance Listing
• Ecosystem Expansion

[Pi Network @PiCoreTeam]

[crypto.news @cryptodotnews]

LATEST: Pi Mainnet upgrade to Protocol 25 is scheduled with a June 18 deadline. Mainnet nodes are required to finish the update by the deadline to stay connected. The upgrade requires additional time so plan accordingly

[Ben @BenX_HQ]

🚀 $PI Network is sitting on a massive user base.

60M+ Pioneers.
18M+ KYC-verified humans ready to transact.

Compare that to Solana (~1.5-2M DAU), Ethereum (~500K), or Base (~300-400K).

@PiCoreTeam has the distribution + real identity layer to explode once adoption kicks in.
