As AI lowers the barrier to building software, reaching users and gaining distribution are becoming increasingly important challenges for developers.
Pi offers an existing distribution network and utility-based ecosystem where developers can connect their applications with more than 60 million Engaged Pioneers, alongside infrastructure for app discovery, user authentication, Pi payments, and other capabilities.
The ecosystem also includes over 300 Mainnet apps, a network of more than 420,000 Nodes, and over 18.1 million fully KYC’d users.

Pi is the native cryptocurrency of the Pi Network ecosystem, supporting ecosystem participation and utility across the network. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a relatively stable value, typically by being pegged to an asset such as the U.S. dollar, and they may serve an important but narrower purpose where stable prices are particularly useful.

Stablecoins can play an important role in expanding certain utility across the Pi ecosystem, particularly in use cases where predictable price stability is important.
The introduction of stablecoins requires a deliberate, unique approach, and must be aligned with Pi Network’s ecosystem and principles.
- Simply adding a stablecoin does not guarantee that it will naturally complement Pi.
- How the two function alongside each other depends on how stablecoins are integrated into the Pi ecosystem.
This makes the design and initial introduction especially important. Stablecoin functionality should be directed toward circumstances where price stability is needed while preserving the utility of the Pi cryptocurrency across the broader ecosystem.

And how the OUSD partnership can fit into Pi’s broader stablecoin strategy.
Pi Network is partnering with @openstandard, the company powering Open USD (OUSD), a partner-governed stablecoin designed as open infrastructure!
Open Standard brings together more than 200+ partners across payments, finance, technology, and crypto, including Visa, Google, and Stripe.
OUSD is designed with an incentive model focused on supporting ecosystem growth, and Pi will explore rewards programs for Pioneers and broader utility across the Pi ecosystem.
Look forward to more details about this partnership.
🌱 PiOS started a quiet revolution in 2023. 🥧
From open-source code sharing to Pi App Studio, SoloHost and community Nodes, the ecosystem keeps evolving.
What if Pi’s biggest strength is its community of builders? 👀🚀

Supporting developers is essential to expanding utility at the application level.
Developers create products, services, and experiences that give Pioneers more ways to participate in the Pi ecosystem. Improving the underlying development environment helps turn Pi’s technical capabilities and ecosystem resources into applications that Pioneers can use.
Learn more about Pi's newly released developer capabilities and developer documentation. https://t.co/EVzcu9EtmX
Pi has introduced new capabilities for developers building on Pi! This includes local storage support, access to app-specific staking data, and file and video sharing.
Pi’s new developer documentation is also now released, providing a single destination for technical resources and a clearer path from getting started to building and launching an app on Pi.
Improving developer tools is important for Pi’s broader focus on utility because they directly affect the types of apps and services that developers can create for the community and beyond.

Pi Network Expands Into US Market
Pi Network (@PiCoreTeam) says OKX (@okx) has made pi-network:native available to millions of users in the United States for the first time.
The move adds another major access point to the Pi ecosystem as the project pushes broader adoption.
Pi Network said the expansion strengthens ecosystem participation, utility, and real world user growth globally.
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
Vibe coders and creators can now tap into Pi Network’s massive user base of over 60 million Engaged Pioneers by easily bringing their external AI-created apps to Pi’s real distribution network and utility ecosystem through Pi App Studio!
Creators, who may be technical developers or non-technical product people, can build apps using platforms such as Codex, Claude Code, Replit, Cursor, Lovable or other AI-assisted coding tools, and then use Pi App Studio to convert those apps into Pi Apps.
That changes the equation for creators.
AI can already help people generate apps quickly; the harder part is distribution and turning those apps into products people actually use.
Pi helps close that gap.
Instead of rebuilding infrastructure from scratch, creators can connect their apps to an existing ecosystem with users, payment capabilities, identity verification, decentralized human infrastructure and platform-level tools already in place.
This feature makes Idea → App → Users that much faster.
Because your ideas are too good not to be seen.
Try the Pi App Studio Now! If you’re a vibe coder or know someone building apps with AI who needs distribution, head to Pi App Studio today to convert AI-created apps into Pi Apps and access the Pi ecosystem’s users, infrastructure, and monetization opportunities.
Dear PCM Community,
We’re excited to share the latest progress with you:
We have successfully deployed the cross-chain related contracts on both OP Testnet and BSC Testnet, and all tests have been completed.
BSC Testnet Contract Address: 0xB9E3F58Db4323eF39162B78A2894c50d62397e91
OP Testnet Contract Address: 0x229a5Ac0B774bA22C2EeF47A5f8e8f2d51Af26f7
The cross-chain feature for PCM Wallet is now under full development. Our goal is to make the cross-chain process simple, easy, and secure for every user.
After internal discussions, we have decided to temporarily pause the Meeta social app. We know many of you love Meeta, but with limited resources, we want to focus fully on PCM cross-chain and BSC marketplace development first, so we can make PCM truly practical and valuable.
Once the BSC ecosystem matures and the marketplace is stable, we will relaunch Meeta with an improved experience.
Thank you for your continued support. During this period, we will stay fully focused on advancing PCM.
Cross-chain tasks and detailed guides will be announced soon — stay tuned!

📌The official full video (16:44) from @PiCoreTeam - #PiNetwork.
Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan spoke today at Consensus 2026 Miami in her session, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility.”
Dr. Fan shared how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, identity verification, and a globally engaged network can support utility-driven products and businesses in the AI era.
Her talk built on a central challenge in the broader crypto industry: the frequent misalignment between token design and real innovation. While tokens in the industry have often been used primarily as capital-raising tools or quick exits, Dr. Fan discussed Pi’s approach to treat tokens as tools that can support growth, engagement, and long-term utility.
Pi’s approach to ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms focuses on tokens for user acquisition and integrating token design into the product innovation process. By using tokens to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences, this approach connects token design more directly to utility and product development.
More broadly, Dr. Fan’s talk invited discussion on how blockchain can help shape AI-era business models, financial literacy, ownership, and socioeconomic participation. As AI lowers the barrier to building, the focus shifts toward something harder to replicate: real users, real participation, and trusted human input at scale.
Stay tuned for the full session video!
