Take on the Pi2Day Ecosystem Quest to celebrate new feature releases and receive a special in-app badge!
The Ecosystem Quest guides Pioneers to complete activities to discover new apps, test ecosystem features, and understand how Piโs infrastructure supports utility creation across compute, AI, and identity.
Certain steps in the Quest require completing a quiz, so remember to pay attention to the updates! You can show-off your in-app badge in Pi Chats, Fireside Forum, and Pi Social Profiles.
Participate in the Ecosystem Quest by tapping the โPi2Dayโ icon on the top right of the Pi mining app home screen. The event will end on July 13.

Happy Pi2Day 2026 Pioneers!
Pi Network is celebrating Pi2Day with new releases advancing Piโs practical utility both within and beyond the Pi ecosystem, and across compute, AI, and identity.
By first providing useful services and resources for external third-partiesโsuch as Piโs blockchain infrastructure, identity verification, and large globally engaged networkโPi offers multiple unique incentives to not only use Piโs services but also join and contribute to Piโs existing ecosystem.
Head to the Pi mining app and read the Pi2Day announcement to learn more about the new SoloHost, Pi Sign-in, and PiVerify releases today!
Also, take part in the Pi2Day Ecosystem Quest to learn more about the new releases, test features, and earn a special in-app badge to commemorate Pi2Day 2026โand show it off!
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.

Ecosystem Directory Staking just got a new look and improved user experience!
Originally launched on Pi2Day 2025, staking through this feature increases an appโs exposure to the Pi community, resulting in more impressions and potentially more user traffic. By staking Pi, Pioneers can collectively support apps and services while developers and creators can promote their apps and tap into Piโs 60M+ engaged community to acquire users.
The update prepares the feature for further utilization by developers, creators, vibe coders and Pioneers as more apps onboard to the ecosystem.
Note there are no rewards at the protocol level for staking, and the original staked amount will be returned once the staked duration has ended.
Go to the Pi home screen to learn more about Ecosystem Directory Staking and check out the recent design updates to the Ecosystem Interface.
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 โfair-access hold,โ 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.

Interesting move by the Pi Network team. They're pushing to act as a distribution hub for 'vibe coders' to help bridge the gap between app creation and actual users. Seems like a solid move for anyone looking to bypass traditional app store fatigue.
@KralNuel Have you looked into how Pi Network is trying to act as a distribution hub? Might be worth checking out if you're trying to get your app in front of more users without the usual app store grind.
Pi2Day (June 28) is approaching, and Piโs 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 Piโs utility ecosystem.
Learn more and deploy vibe coded apps on Pi today!

Want to help grow the Pi ecosystem? Invite vibe coders to bring their AI-created apps to Piโs real distribution network and utility ecosystem through Pi App Studio!
Hereโs 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 โVibe Coderโ 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.

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 โSLICEโ 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:
โข Open Pi Launchpad in Pi Browser
โข Review the SLICE test token and project
โข Choose a commitment amount in Test-Pi
โข Confirm participation
โข Engage with the Slice of Pi app and provide feedback
Participation will remain open until Pi2Day on June 28.

The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 25.
Deadline: June 18.
All Mainnet nodes are required to complete this step before the deadline to remain connected to the network. This upgrade takes longer to complete. Plan accordingly.
