Happy Pi2Day 2025! Today, Pi has introduced two exciting features to the ecosystem and provided various tech and product updates. First, Pi App Studio is an AI-powered platform that enables anyone to create Pi apps without coding—created to solve problems the world faces as AI advances, based on both blockchain and AI technologies. Second, Ecosystem Directory Staking is another platform-level utility that allows Pioneers and businesses to boost apps’ ranking in the Ecosystem Interface by staking Pi on the Mainnet blockchain.
Key other updates include a Node version update, a third-party onramp aggregator integration, the .pi Domains Auction extension, and improvements to Mainnet Migration. Pioneers can also join the Pi2Day Ecosystem Challenge to explore features to receive digital prizes. Go to the Pi mining app to learn more!

Pi Network is adding email-based two-factor authentication to the overall account management and verification. https://t.co/mppVnNAmqP
This change addresses challenges with current SMS (text message) account verification, improves security, and lays the groundwork for future verification methods like passkeys and biometrics. To ensure a secure shift, system level analytics and checks were required to validate how Pioneers verify their accounts using the new method, which led to a temporary pause in migrations. Migrations have now resumed and will gradually expand. Read the full blog for more information about the update and how it benefits the network in the long term.
The PiFest shopping period is ongoing! Join now before the event ends on Friday, March 21. Experience the first PiFest after Open Network with the full support of external connectivity by shopping at your local stores and businesses that accept Pi.
