Pi Coin

■ "People often only look at the price. But what's happening behind the scenes at Pi Network is what's worth watching." Pi Network's month of Real Progress.

While many are still debating the future of Pi, the ecosystem is quietly expanding every day.

■ Pi is appearing on more major trading platforms, making it more accessible to the community.

■ The Mainnet infrastructure continues to be upgraded, increasing the stability and scalability of the network.

■ Developer support tools and AI applications are opening up more opportunities to build real products on the Pi ecosystem.

■ A series of new applications, utilities, and projects continue to be developed, gradually increasing the value of Pi.

It's noteworthy that the focus of Pi Network isn't just on the value of a cryptocurrency, but also on building a digital ecosystem with real users, real applications, and real value.

What matters isn't how far Pi has come today, but whether this network will continue to create value for the community in the years to come.

■ The journey continues, and perhaps the most exciting chapters are yet to come.

CiDi Games' beta launches, demonstrating the power of Raspberry Pi-based development

On May 14, CiDi Games released a beta app to the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, introducing an HTML5 gaming platform that can be accessed directly through the raspberry Pi browser.

The beta version offers skill-based tournaments, platform growth system via CiDiScore, Elf Continent, and Pi integrated game developer infrastructure along with 10 games in various categories including casual, puzzle, neglect, action, and competitive games. With these features, CiDi Games provides a platform-level experience that integrates gameplay, identity, community engagement, and developer opportunities into one Pi-based environment.

CiDi Games, the portfolio company of Pi Network Ventures, is expanding the Pi ecosystem through providing Pi users with new ways to utilize Pi through games while providing new ways

to use Pi through games, with infrastructure that can support more games and developers over time.

A demonstration of organic traction on Pi
CiDi Games has naturally attracted more than 81,000 Pioneers from 160+ countries and regions within less than a week of its launch. These activities led to more active participation, with a total of over 1.2 million game sessions and 21,000 tournament/tournament participants.

CiDi Games has recorded a considerable number of advertisements exposure, which shows that developers can monetize real users through the Raspberry Pi advertising network if they just build useful and engaging apps.

CiDi Games app has risen in the Pi Ecosystem Directory Staking by staking a total of 3,19 million Pi, and most of them were staked in the community, making it one of the top Pi staking apps. Staking is a selective way for pioneers and businesses to support the apps they build or use, and it is a prickly signal for developers to show community interest.

These results in just one week were a completely natural phenomenon and not by promotion of Pi official account. Pioneers have discovered and used CiDi Games entirely for themselves. This demonstrates that a well-designed app that is tailored to real user needs can lead meaningful engagement through the Pi ecosystem without the additional cost of user acquisition.

Possibility of Raspberry Pi platform and Raspberry Pi-based development that can be found through CiDi Games beta release
The natural response to the CiDi Games beta launch shows Pi's solution to the problem that developers face becoming increasingly difficult, developing big apps is getting easier but reaching real users is getting harder.

Pi platform connects developers or creators with a large community of active pioneers, supporting app experiences that address human needs.

For developers and creators, the Raspberry Pie ecosystem is not just a space for posting apps, but also a platform for real users to discover, use, support and improve apps. The beta launch of CiDi Games showed how Raspberry Pi infrastructure supports interactive products, and provides developers with a community of over 60 million engaged pioneers, raspberry Pi-optimized engagement mechanisms, revenue-generating tools to support product improvement and continuous development.

All developers can reap the benefits of the raspberry pie ecosystem by developing and distributing a raspberry pie app that addresses the needs of real people. Submit your application through the Raspberry Pie Developer Portal on the Raspberry Pie Browser.

Developers using external AI tools such as Codex, Claude Code, Replit, Cursor, Lovable or other AI-assisted coding tools can easily convert apps into Pi apps with the recently released Pi App Studio developer tool. In Pi App Studio, you can integrate Pi SDK, check settings, and add Pi payment features using ready-to-use AI prompts. Also, Pi App Studio makes it easier to distribute apps to the Pi ecosystem, secure and engage users, like CiDi Games.

Pi app is already integrated with other infrastructure components of Pi Network such as global payment, Pi Wallet, Pi Ad Network and social network access in addition to improving user input and engagement.

Continuous app development and integration within the Pi ecosystem
CiDi Games will continuously collect feedback, improve user experience, improve platform functionality, and expand game libraries through collaboration with Pi. Through real use, developers can get ongoing feedback on what works, what can be improved, and what new ways of use are.

Open CiDi Games in the Pi browser to use the beta app, enjoy instant-playable games, and explore new Pi-based gaming experiences.

— This new era of modern technology
AI bots flood the internet, how do we prove we’re human without giving away our private data? 🛡️

Pi Network is building a “Digital Passport” a decentralized, privacy‑preserving identity layer where you can prove you’re unique (age, uniqueness, etc.) without exposing the underlying documents. No Orb scans. No biometrics centralization.

■ Already live ■
● 526M+ KYC validation tasks completed
● 1M+ human validators supporting the system
● 18.1M unique humans verified across 200+ countries.

Contrast with Worldcoin’s Orb‑based model Pi uses existing IDs but cryptographically hides the data, relying on distributed human validators rather than a single hardware device.

Is Pi’s approach more scalable and privacy‑respecting for solving the AI bot problem, or does it create too much centralization at the validation stage?

Attention

The Pi Mainnet has officially completed the upgrade to Protocol 23.
Now the network is moving toward Protocol 24.

■ IMPORTANT:
All Mainnet node operators must complete the Protocol 24 upgrade before June 2 to stay connected to the Pi Network Mainnet.

This upgrade helps improve: Network performance
● Security & stability
● Future ecosystem scalability

If you’re running a Pi Node, don’t wait until the last minute!

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.

Most people may not realize how important this phase could become later. 🤔

While many are focused only on Pi’s price, something much deeper is quietly happening in the background:

Infrastructure evolution.

says most major Mainnet Nodes have now upgraded to v23 — and according to the update, this was one of the most challenging upgrades so far.

Not because of hype…

But because it involved deep backend changes:
⚡ protocol upgrades
⚡ operating system migration
⚡ database upgrades
⚡ subsystem optimizations
⚡ internal data reprocessing

To casual users, that may not sound exciting.

But in blockchain ecosystems, these are usually the kinds of upgrades that happen before larger scalability and ecosystem expansion become possible. 🚀

Real networks are not built overnight.

They are built layer by layer through infrastructure, optimization, developer support, and long-term ex*****on.

Of course, upgrades alone do not guarantee success.

The ecosystem still needs:
• real utility
• strong apps
• developer growth
• adoption
• sustainable demand

But one thing is becoming harder to ignore:

Pi is still actively evolving behind the scenes.

And historically, the biggest technological shifts often happen quietly before the crowd fully understands what’s being built.

Good day

protocol V23 successfully deployed on TESTNET2.

If no bugs are found, will move it straight to Mainnet.

Today is the deadline for the V23 upgrade.

This upgrade unlocks the door for builders waiting for programmable smart contracts inside the ecosystem. Ex*****on phase activated for $Pi

AI is creating a new wave of builders.

People are turning ideas into apps faster than ever before.

But most creators still face the same problem after building:

How do you actually reach users?

Pi App Studio can now help close that gap.

Creators can now take apps built with external AI coding tools and connect them directly into an ecosystem with:

60M+ engaged users
Integrated payments
Decentralized human workforce
Platform-level infrastructure

If you know builders, vibe coders, indie creators, or AI communities looking for distribution and real users, share this with them.

The next generation of apps will come from more people than ever before.

Now they need places where those apps can actually be used.
