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.

Ecosystem Directory Staking just got a new look and improved user experience!
Originally launched on Pi2Day 2025, staking through this feature increases an app’s 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 Pi’s 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.
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.

🚀 Pi Core Team Launches 11 Powerful Apps — Pioneers and Businesses Build Over 10,000 More!
Pi Network is Becoming the Web3 Google Play Store of the Future!
In the rapidly advancing world of Web3, Pi Network is no longer just a revolutionary idea — it’s becoming the ultimate decentralized app hub, where innovation meets real-world utility. The Pi Core Team has officially launched 11 powerful, ecosystem-defining apps, and that’s only the beginning.
What’s even more inspiring?
Pioneers and businesses worldwide have already created over 10,000 apps, built entirely on Pi Network’s infrastructure — proving that the Pi Ecosystem is alive, expanding, and unstoppable.
💡 A New Digital Economy Is Rising
These apps aren’t just vanity projects — they’re built around the Pi Coin (𝛑), helping solve real problems, connect people, and create value. From e-commerce stores and play-to-earn games, to educational tools, health apps, and social networks — these apps are building an ecosystem that doesn’t just exist on-chain, but in everyday life.
🏛️ Pi Is the Web3 App Store — But Better
While traditional platforms like Apple’s App Store and Google Play dominate the Web2 world with control and commissions, Pi Network flips the model:
•No middlemen.
•No gatekeepers.
•Just people building for people.
Pi Network is becoming the decentralized Web3 version of the App Store — where ownership, privacy, and empowerment are baked in from day one. And guess what? The pioneers are already using it.
💥 This Is the Revolution We’ve Been Waiting For
We are witnessing something no other blockchain has pulled off at this scale — an ecosystem where users mine, build, earn, and transact all in one place. While most projects struggle to find use cases, Pi is thriving with thousands of them.
This is more than a network.
It’s a movement.
It’s a new digital civilization powered by people, not corporations.
🧭 Where Do You Fit In?
✅ Are you a Pioneer? Keep mining. Start building.
✅ Are you a developer? Use Pi App Studio to launch the next big Web3 tool.
✅ Are you a business? Integrate Pi payments and reach a global audience ready to spend.
This isn’t the future of Web3. This is Web3.
And it’s happening on Pi Network — right now.
🌍 Believe. Build. Blaze the Trail with Pi.
One day, millions will download Web3 apps like they do today on Google Play or the App Store —
But instead of “Download on the App Store,” it will say:
“Powered by Pi.”
🔥 The Web3 revolution isn’t coming. It’s already here.
🛠️ Built by the people.
