#PiNetwork solves distribution—massive adoption. Banxa confirms: 'When your apps handle real cross-border payments, we’ll be there.' As we’ve always told you: there are not yet any real, official payments on any DApps. Stay focused, do not be fooled by rumors."
Want to help grow the Pi ecosystem? Invite vibe coders to bring their AI-created apps to Pi’s real distribution network and utility ecosystem through Pi App Studio!
Here’s how to participate:
1. Identify communities of active vibe coders such as a Subreddit, X Communities, Facebook group, or developer forum.
2. Join and contribute to the specific vibe coder community. Engage with community members on topics around vibe coding and app creation.
3. Introduce Pi Network as a distribution network to vibe coders looking for users for their app.
4. Submit the link to your post through the “Vibe Coder” button in the Pi mining app.
Spread the word: Vibe coders can easily bring their AI-created apps to the Pi ecosystem, where those apps can be discovered, used, supported, and improved by real people!
Any creator can benefit from what Pi ecosystem has to offer: a large, engaged community of 60M+ Engaged Pioneers, plus infrastructure including global payments, Pi Wallet, Pi Ad Network, and social network access.

🌐 MASSIVE: SWIFT CONFIRMS 25+ BANKS GOING LIVE BY JUNE, USING CRYPTO FOR 24/7 CROSS-BORDER PAYMENTS!
MOST OF THESE BANKS ARE RIPPLE PARTNERS 👀
„I THINK WHAT WE‘RE DOING AND EXECUTING ON A DAY BY DAY BASIS IS IN FACT TAKING OVER SWIFT!“ 👑
https://t.co/tcuxeRfBEE
CiDi Games organically reached over 81,000 users across 160+ countries in less than a week after launching its beta in the Pi ecosystem.
That led to:
1.2M+ game sessions
21,000+ tournament participants
3.19M+ Pi staked by the community to support the platform.
What makes this important is not just the gaming activity itself.
It is what the launch demonstrates about building on Pi.
Apps built on Pi launch directly into a network with existing distribution, engagement, and infrastructure already in place.
As AI lowers the barrier to building apps, ecosystems with real users like Pi become increasingly valuable for developers.

CiDi Games, a Pi Network Ventures portfolio company, launched their beta app in the Pi Browser!
This brought Pioneers 10 instant-access games along with skill-based tournaments, platform progression through CiDiScore, the Pi ELF companion experience, Elf Continent, and developer infrastructure for Pi-integrated games.
In less than one week after the beta launch, CiDi Games independently attracted over 81,000 Pioneers across 160+ regions and 1.2 million game sessions organically, demonstrating how the Pi Platform can help utility-focused apps reach real users, drive engagement, and monetization, which in turn expands utility across the Pi ecosystem.

For the first time, OKX has made Pi available to millions of people in the US through its platform, adding another access point to the Pi ecosystem for US users.
Pi continues to expand its global network of Pioneers and partners, and strengthen ecosystem participation, utility, and real user adoption across the world.
More users. More usage. Stronger network
Watch Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis speak in the Consensus 2026 panel “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself)”.
The discussion focused on how digital trust and identity verification systems must evolve as AI makes it possible to generate bots, agents, and synthetic identities that closely resemble real human behavior at scale.
The panel explored a core question for the AI era: how systems can continue to verify real human participation without requiring unnecessary disclosure of personal information.
A key theme was that proof of humanity is context-dependent, with different systems requiring different levels of verification depending on use case and risk.
The importance of privacy-preserving design was also highlighted, ensuring verification can scale while remaining usable for real users.
As AI lowers the barrier to building and interacting online, the harder challenge may be connecting digital systems to real users, trusted participation, and meaningful utility.
Pi’s Layer 1 blockchain, identity verification, payments infrastructure, non-custodial wallets, smart contracts, and engaged global community are all part of Pi’s ongoing work to address that challenge.

Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan’s talk at Consensus 2026 was centred on a simple but important challenge:
The frequent misalignment between token design and real product innovation.
Her presentation, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” explored how tokens can be treated as tools that can support user acquisition, product engagement, and long-term utility.
One implementation of this approach is Pi Launchpad, Pi’s design for ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms that aims to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences.
As AI makes it easier to build applications, the limiting factor is no longer creation.
It is distribution and usage.
Pi’s approach combines blockchain infrastructure, innovative token and launch mechanisms, identity verification, and a large engaged network of real users to address that gap directly.
Enjoy the full talk & leave your thoughts on Pi’s approach to tokens and launch mechanisms!

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
