Thanks to the core team for continuously optimizing the Launchpad ecosystem! The new SLICE participation process is simpler and easier to understand, and the fair allocation mechanism is more considerate. We look forward to more significant ecosystem developments at Pi2Day on June 28th!
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.

Reimagining Currency: The Rise of Pi Coin as the Future of Value
The currency as you know it, produced in unlimited quantities, no longer aligns with the ideals and expectations of our era.
Investing in cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH may seem attractive, but it’s important to recognize that they are closely tied to traditional finance and market fluctuations. These cryptocurrencies are institutionalized and often highly speculative.
In contrast, Pi Coin stands out with its model based on real utility, which is why I refer to it as the “father of all cryptocurrencies.” This unique positioning makes it a promising alternative for those seeking true value in the digital world.
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.

Justin Wu, #PiNetwork 's early core marketing leader and a well-known Web3 growth expert, made a significant statement📢If Pi can take this crucial step, $PI will stage the most stunning comeback story in crypto history📈Most people only realize this when it's too late, but we pioneers who have persisted until now already have our tickets to the future in our hands!👍
Pi Network 📢 The Stellar Foundation officially released its network-wide quantum-resistant encryption upgrade plan 🚀 The #PiNetwork uses the Stellar protocol at its underlying layer and will follow up with this post-quantum security iteration in the future; quantum protection for enterprise wallets will be completed first in 2026, and all personal accounts will be upgraded by the end of 2027, in advance to resist future quantum computers cracking private keys and stealing coins, and to ensure the long-term security and stability of on-chain assets.🛡🔐
Help bring more AI-created apps to the Pi ecosystem and enter a raffle to win Pi Network merch!
Pioneers are invited to introduce Pi App Studio to vibe coders and AI-builder communities around the world.
Why?
Because as AI makes building apps easier, competition for human attention and user acquisition becomes more intense.
Pi App Studio helps creators connect AI-built apps to:
60M+ engaged Pioneers
Built-in payments
Identity infrastructure
Pi Ad Network
And more!
Find a relevant builder community, share how Pi can help creators reach real users, then submit your post through the Pi App to enter the raffle.
By helping more creators discover Pi, Pioneers can help expand the range of apps, tools, and services available in the Pi ecosystem. A stronger app ecosystem gives Pioneers more ways to use Pi, support useful products, and participate in real utility.
