Does anyone else feel that running AI models and agents locally, on your own computer, should be much easier?
The privacy benefits are clear: your data stays with you. But while there are many open-source models and projects out there, turning them into a usable local AI agent is still far too hard for non-engineers.
Join Pi’s vibe coder campaign ahead of Pi2Day (June 28)!
Pioneers can participate by joining relevant creator or developer communities and sharing why Pi may be useful for builders who already have prototypes or working apps built through AI platforms. Then submit your public post link in the Pi app for a chance to win Pi Network merchandise!
Wondering how to introduce Pi to vibe coder communities?
Posts introducing Pi can point vibe coders to Pi App Studio, explain how externally created apps can connect with Pi, and highlight the users, payments, ads platform, and broader infrastructure available through the Pi ecosystem.
Pi’s value proposition should be clear:
In the Pi ecosystem, vibe coders building web apps with AI can make their app accessible to 60M+ engaged users, and run their app on built-in payments, identity and ads infrastructure, by simply plugging their service or product into Pi Network.
You can also:
- Introduce Pi opportunities to creator communities;
- Describe how Pi App Studio makes it simple for vibe coders to integrate with Pi;
- Share statistics of organic traction Pi apps have received from the Pi ecosystem;
- Explain why developers and creators should explore Pi.

As Pi2Day 2026 approaches on Sunday, June 28, Pioneers have four days left to participate in the Vibe Coder campaign with a raffle and the Pi Launchpad Testnet Token SLICE.
Both initiatives help contribute to the growth, development, and use of the Pi ecosystem and its utilities.
Pi2Day has historically been an important moment for Pi Network ecosystem milestones, updates, and feature releases. Participate in the two initiatives now, and stay tuned for Pi2day!

Pi2Day (June 28) has historically been a time for ecosystem milestones, updates, and feature releases.
Last year Pi released:
- Pi App Studio
- Pi’s vision and solution to address AI-era challenges
- Ecosystem Directory Staking
- Node updates and Node ranking page
- And more!
Stay tuned on June 28 for what’s to come!
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 app’s 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.

Reminder for all Pi Mainnet Node operators: The majority of Mainnet node operators have already successfully upgraded to Protocol v25. If you have not yet upgraded your node, please do so at your earliest convenience to remain connected to the network.
As with previous upgrades, the process is straightforward and should take only a few minutes to complete.

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.

Government of Ghana’s strong reservations and high stakes diplomatic interventions following the Canadian Visa Refusal of Thomas Teye Partey of the Black Stars FIFA World Cup team.
🇬🇭 “Ghana government, we are in Cape Town and we have nowhere to sleep. Please, President John Dramani Mahama, kindly come for us. We want to return home.”
— Ghanaian residents in Ghana currently in South Africa. Fresh videos show Ghanaian nationals reportedly stranded and sleeping outdoors, appealing to President John Dramani Mahama for urgent intervention amid reported xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
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.

Pi2Day is around the corner!
And as always, the speculation has already begun.
With the current raffle campaign ending on June 28, many Pioneers are wondering whether $Pi Network could have something bigger planned for #Pi2Day this year. #PiNetwork
