Mainnet wallet activation features are now available for identity-verified individuals—including millions of fully and most tentatively KYC’d Pioneers. This unblocks their participation in, and broadens the inclusion of, the Pi Mainnet ecosystem including direct interactions on Mainnet blockchain, Pi apps, local commerce and events like the .pi Domains Auction.

A Pi ecosystem announcement will be released on May 14. Tune in to find out what's coming next!

Pi Network Ventures has officially launched—a $100 million initiative, held in Pi and USD, to invest in startups and businesses that advance the utility and real-world adoption of Pi. Go to the Pi mining app home screen to learn more.

This strategic program intends to invest in high-quality startups and companies across sectors, driving innovation and ecosystem growth. By providing early support to more innovative utility creation and real-world integration, this moment marks a pivotal step forward for Pi.

Ecosystem and product feature updates: five new community apps have been added to the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface, and a new account recovery option is now available. These updates aim to improve access, utility, and participation in the Pi ecosystem. Read the full blog for details on what’s new. https://minepi.com/blog/ecosystem-and-product-updates/

The Mainnet app list in the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface does not include all Mainnet and Mainnet-ready Pi apps, as selection is limited based on Pi ecosystem policies and guidelines. There are many more third party Pi apps that are not listed here. Some third-party Pi apps that serve as a directory of Pi Mainnet apps may display more or even all Mainnet apps, so Pioneers can reference those for a broader view of available apps.

Check out the most recent blog about new Mainnet Ecosystem Interface app listings, where this has also been noted! https://minepi.com/blog/ecosystem-and-product-updates/

Gaming is a strong fit for driving fun, engagement, and utility in the Pi ecosystem. The new FruityPi game app shows how integration with multiple Pi products like Pi cryptocurrency, Pi Wallet, and Pi Ad Network can benefit developers, while leveraging what the Pi community has to offer: signups, attention, and engagement.

Developers, if you are building a game, integrate with Pi and make use of the Pi products and collective resources that the Pi ecosystem provides. If your game gains traction from the Pi ecosystem, you should also apply to Pi Network Ventures.

Remember to only use the Pi Wallet in the Pi Browser at exactly "wallet.PiNet.com” in order to safeguard your Pi. Learn more: https://minepi.com/blog/pi-wallet-safety/

The authentic Pi Wallet is visually identified by a purple color in the navigation bar of the Pi Browser with a Pi logo featuring the Core Team apps logo. Caution—scammers may create fake Pi Wallet pages that appear the same as the authentic Pi Wallet on the Pi Browser but with misleading URLs to steal Pioneers' passphrase data and empty their Pi accounts. Since the Pi Browser is a browser like Chrome or Safari, it's ultimately up to the individual Pioneer to determine the safety and legitimacy of the sites and URLs they visit. Beware of scams using fake websites, fake emails, and misleading ads that imitate the Pi Wallet or Core Team members.

For verified information, official links and domains, and previous safety announcements, refer to the Pi Safety Center. It is the best place to stay informed and protected. https://minepi.com/safety/

It’s been over 100 days since the launch of Open Network! Since then, Pi’s ecosystem has continued to grow and expand. https://minepi.com/blog/100-days-open-network/

How is GenAI related to Pi Network? Why did one of two Pi Founders, Nicolas Kokkalis, participate in a GenAI panel at Consensus 2025? Answer on Pi2Day (6.28.2025)

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.

Remember you can voluntarily choose to lock up your Pi to boost your mining rate! The Lockup will be immediately binding until your duration ends. https://minepi.com/blog/pi-lockup/

Locking up your Pi helps support a healthy ecosystem and incentivize long-term engagement with the network. You can set your pre-migration Lockups (if you haven’t migrated to Mainnet) via the “Mainnet” tab in the Pi app menu. You can set your post-migration Lockups, which enables up to a 200% Lockup, in the Pi Wallet.

Reminder: the .pi Domains Auction deadline is extended to September 30, 2025 in order to provide Pioneers more time to innovate, build functional apps, and bid for .pi Domains for their apps. https://youtube.com/shorts/4JDbLzXHGFE
