Watch Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan's talk at TOKEN2049!
https://t.co/pD26XqWG5d
Dr. Fan explores interrelated imperatives including advancing genuine blockchain utility and product innovation, aligning AI with human well-being through decentralized infrastructure, and achieving true mass adoption. Her talk aligns with a consistent principle of Pi Network: develop technology in such a way that it serves real people and solves concrete problems.
Decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) functionalities are available on the Testnet, allowing developers and Pioneers to experiment directly with token swaps, liquidity pools, and other decentralized finance tools. Developers can also now create test tokens on the Pi Testnet blockchain, while such functionality is restricted on Mainnet during the testing period. These releases in a testing environment allow developers to extend Pi Network’s capabilities in a utility-focused and Web3 way, and it onramps Pioneers safely and gradually.

The launch of Pi DEX, AMM, and liquidity pool features on Testnet gives developers and Pioneers a live environment to try out the mechanics of decentralized finance (DeFi) inside the Pi ecosystem.

Pi has released a Linux Node version and is preparing protocol upgrades. The highly requested Linux Node will provide standardized and easier infrastructure for partners and services. https://t.co/SBqEFbzhVX
There will also be an upcoming rollout of protocol upgrades that begins with Testnet1 this week, and continue with Testnet2 and Mainnet upgrades into the next few weeks, which may potentially require planned outages of the blockchain services. Specific outages, if any, will be announced in advance. The protocol upgrades will enable functionalities including embedding KYC authority in the protocol that will maintain Pi as a KYC-verified blockchain while offering a more distributed, community-driven KYC process at the protocol level.

As initially announced on Pi2Day, the Pi Wallet now integrates Onramper, a third-party, KYB-verified on-ramp aggregator that simplifies on-ramp services for Pioneers. This integration offers a streamlined way to participate in the Mainnet ecosystem! Onramper can be accessed through the Pi Wallet where Pioneers can choose from available KYB-compliant on-ramp services and utilize the one they prefer, subject to each on-ramps’ regional availability and other restrictions. Note: the only KYB-verified on-ramp partners are Onramp. money, Transfi and Banxa.
Creating apps through Pi App Studio means you are able to own and run a business and product built entirely around your knowledge and ideas, which is made possible through the use of AI and supported by the blockchain ecosystem of Pi.
