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!

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 Piโs 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.

PiVerify is a KYC identity verification service available to third-party companies, making Piโs 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 Piโs verified identity technology and resources beyond Piโs own apps and services.

Pi Network has over 60 million Engaged Pioneers.
For developers, that creates an important opportunity: How do useful apps get discovered by these millions of people on Pi?
Ecosystem Directory Staking was built to help answer that.
It is a decentralized way for Pioneers and businesses to actively support and promote the ranking of Pi apps and utilities in the Ecosystem Interface. Staking through this feature increases an appโs exposure to the Pi community, helping boost visibility within the ecosystem.
This feature provides a self-service avenue for developers and creators to use Pi to tap into the attention resource of Pi Network to acquire users.
As AI makes app creation easier and easier, the challenge shifts from building products to getting them in front of people.
Ecosystem Directory Staking improves ecosystem discovery, making it easier for developers and creators to connect with users, and easier for users to discover new apps.

Network Update: Upgrade to protocol 24 has been completed successfully.
Great job to all Nodes! This was one of the most challenging migrations.
Next up will be v25, deadline June 18.
AI is creating a new wave of builders.
People are turning ideas into apps faster than ever before.
But most creators still face the same problem after building:
How do you actually reach users?
Pi App Studio can now help close that gap.
Creators can now take apps built with external AI coding tools and connect them directly into an ecosystem with:
60M+ engaged users
Integrated payments
Decentralized human workforce
Platform-level infrastructure
If you know builders, vibe coders, indie creators, or AI communities looking for distribution and real users, share this with them.
The next generation of apps will come from more people than ever before.
Now they need places where those apps can actually be used.

Big kudos to Mainnet Node operators for upgrading to v23.
Most major Nodes have now been upgraded, and the protocol is expected to move to v23 soon.
This was one of the most challenging upgrades to date, as it involved multiple subsystem upgrades and optimizations that required internal data reprocessing.
Protocol 22 -> 23, Ubuntu 20 -> 24, PostgreSQL 12 -> 16
Vibe coders and creators can now tap into Pi Networkโs massive user base of over 60 million Engaged Pioneers by easily bringing their external AI-created apps to Piโs 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 โ App โ Users that much faster.
Because your ideas are too good not to be seen.
Try the Pi App Studio Now! If youโre 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 ecosystemโs users, infrastructure, and monetization opportunities.
Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis spoke today at Consensus 2026 Miami on the panel, โHow to Prove Youโre Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself).โ
The discussion focused on one of the most urgent challenges in the AI era: how to maintain trust and verify real human identity as AI systems become capable of generating convincing bots, profiles, and interactions at scale.
Stay tuned for the full video!
Reminder: All Mainnet nodes are required to complete the Protocol 23 upgrade by May 15, 2026 to remain connected to the network. This upgrade takes longer to complete, so please plan ahead.

Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan spoke today at Consensus 2026 Miami in her session, โAligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility.โ
Dr. Fan shared how Piโs blockchain infrastructure, identity verification, and a globally engaged network can support utility-driven products and businesses in the AI era.
Her talk built on a central challenge in the broader crypto industry: the frequent misalignment between token design and real innovation. While tokens in the industry have often been used primarily as capital-raising tools or quick exits, Dr. Fan discussed Piโs approach to treat tokens as tools that can support growth, engagement, and long-term utility.
Piโs approach to ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms focuses on tokens for user acquisition and integrating token design into the product innovation process. By using tokens to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences, this approach connects token design more directly to utility and product development.
More broadly, Dr. Fanโs talk invited discussion on how blockchain can help shape AI-era business models, financial literacy, ownership, and socioeconomic participation. As AI lowers the barrier to building, the focus shifts toward something harder to replicate: real users, real participation, and trusted human input at scale.
Stay tuned for the full session video!
