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.

Raspberry Pi Adds New Developer Features and Releases Updated Documentation.

Raspberry Pi has introduced new capabilities for developers building Pi-powered apps, including local storage support, access to app-specific staking data via the Ecosystem Directory staking system, and file & video sharing — alongside newly published unified developer documentation. These updates expand the toolset available to creators while streamlining onboarding and technical resources.

🛠️ New Developer Features for Raspberry Pi

Local Storage Support

Raspberry Pi has added local storage capabilities for allowlisted apps in the Pi Browser, enabling approved applications to store certain data directly on a Pioneer’s device. This reduces network infrastructure costs and complexity for app developers.

- What can be stored: App configuration, session state, and other non-sensitive data — eliminating the need to run a separate backend for basic data persistence and lowering infrastructure costs.
- Privacy & security: Data is managed by the Pi Browser, never uploaded to Pi servers, and remains securely confined to the user’s device.
- Cross-platform consistency: Designed to deliver a consistent storage experience across iOS and Android.
- Important notes: Data stays tied to a specific account and device — it does not sync automatically across multiple devices. Storage is not permanent; old data may be deleted when space is full. Apps must be allowlisted to use this feature.

Staking Data API

Developers can now access an API to view the actual amount of Pi users have staked to their apps through the Ecosystem Directory staking feature.

- Returns the real staked amount, including both the quantity of Pi staked and any bonuses earned based on staking duration.
- Allows developers to integrate staking metrics directly into their apps.
- Access is currently limited to allowlisted apps during an initial testing period, to gather feedback and refine the API before broader release.

File & Video Sharing

Developers can now enable users to share files — including videos — from within their apps using the new Pi.shareFile functionality.

- Leverages the device’s native sharing system, so no custom sharing workflows are required.
- Use cases: Marketplace receipts, dispute-related images, in-app media sharing, game content sharing, and more.
- Expands the range of possible app experiences and utility.


📚 Updated & Unified Developer Documentation

Raspberry Pi has launched a consolidated, all-new developer documentation portal. Previously, resources were scattered across SDK docs, community guides, and GitHub repositories — often with duplicate or inconsistent content.

Key improvements:

- Centralized hub: All developer resources in one place, under a single official domain.
- Structured for the developer journey: Clear, step-by-step guidance from app registration → sandbox development → platform integration → mainnet launch.
- Enhanced clarity: Adds detailed explanations for platform features previously noted as unclear by the community.
- Covers the full workflow: Account & app registration, sandbox setup, SDK & platform references, authentication, payments, and mainnet readiness.
- New AI assistance: AI-powered guidance for integrating authentication and payment features.
- Fully reviewed & updated: All content refreshed to reflect current platform behavior.

🎯 Supporting Growth Across the Pi Ecosystem

Developer tools form a core part of Raspberry Pi’s vision for real-world utility — directly shaping the kinds of apps and services that can be built. Local storage, staking data access, and file sharing give developers powerful new building blocks, while unified documentation lowers barriers to entry.

These improvements help turn Pi’s technical infrastructure into usable, user-facing applications — broadening the range of experiences Pioneers can access. As the Pi ecosystem grows more diverse, these updates reduce friction for building and maintaining apps, laying the groundwork for a richer, more capable ecosystem.

"From Digital Money Toward an Ecosystem Built by the Strength of the People"

This image represents more than just three blockchain names — it stands for an evolution in thinking.

Bitcoin challenged the traditional definition of money.
Ethereum showed that blockchain could become programmable infrastructure through smart contracts and decentralized applications.
Pi Network takes the broader blockchain journey toward accessibility, community participation, and an ecosystem designed around real-world utility.

Each generation of technology builds on the lessons of those that came before. Scalability, accessibility, usability, adoption, security, and utility remain among blockchain’s greatest challenges.

The next chapter won’t be defined by technology alone. It will be determined by how effectively blockchain can be made useful, accessible, and meaningful to billions of people.

The revolution continues to evolve. The question is: how far can we take it?

SoloHost's new app introduction: OpenClaw and Atlassian MCP servers

The OpenClaw and Atlassian MCP server apps are now included in Pi Desktop, expanding the range of useful self-hosting software that users can easily install and run on their own computers.

These apps, released with Node 0.6.2, demonstrate how SoloHost supports various needs, from AI agents running locally to more specialized AI integration workflows.
By using SoloHost, users can search, evaluate, install, and run their own hosting apps through Pi Desktop without having to manually configure a basic server, Docker, or other technical infrastructure. OpenClaw is a local AI agent that can run on local models or external models like ChatGPT and Claude, and the Atlassian MCP Server app provides a local MCP server that helps to compose workflows by connecting to AI tools that are compatible with Jira.

Using OpenClaw on SoloHost: Providing a more convenient and stable local AI environment
OpenClaw is a local AI agent that runs on the user's computer and supports tasks. OpenClaw supports the computer that meets the hardware requirements needed to run the local AI model, allowing the agent to more precisely control how it interacts with the user's data and computing environment, while reducing reliance on the remote infrastructure required for the supported tasks. If the agent uses a cloud-based model like Claude or ChatGPT, the requests sent to the model are still processed through the model provider's infrastructure. In both cases, OpenClaw's memory is locally generated and stored on the user's computer.
When you run OpenClaw through SoloHost, it operates within a container designed to limit basic access rights to the entire computer. If you install it directly outside of SoloHost, you can basically get access to a wide range of system-level permissions, such as the local file system. However, when you install it through SoloHost, it creates a more isolated environment where exposure to unrelated local files and system resources, regardless of their relationship to the local or cloud configuration model, is minimized.
This isolation method does not eliminate all risks or ignore the permissions explicitly granted by the user. If the user grants OpenClaw access to external services or resources, the agent can only operate within the scope of those permissions. The advantage of the SoloHost setup is more specific. It restricts unnecessary basic access rights to the rest of the local computer while allowing the user to grant specific permissions necessary for a particular task.

SoloHost packages the OpenClaw application and the necessary environment to automatically use them through Pi Desktop, simplifying the setup process and reducing the workload that must be done manually by the user.
The addition of OpenClaw to the previously released Hermes local AI agent has expanded the range of local AI agent options available to users through the Pi Desktop. While OpenClaw emphasizes the individual secretary feature connected to various tools and messaging channels, Hermes focuses more on its ability to learn through continuous memory and experience.

Using Atlassian MCP server on SoloHost: Connecting AI workflow and Jira

The Atlassian MCP server provided by SoloHost meets the specific needs of experts who want to integrate AI tools into Jira workflows, including developers and product teams.

To enable AI tools to interact with services like Jira, a method of communication between the two systems is required. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a framework for AI tools to connect to external systems like Jira using the MCP server.
Atlassian (Jira) provides its own hosted MCP option, but teams may face allocation and stability issues when using AI-integrated Jira workflows internally. This SoloHost app supports teams facing these constraints by enabling them to run their own hosted MCP servers locally without being constrained by allocation or stability issues.

Specifically, using the Atlassian MCP server in SoloHost allows users to run servers locally on any computer or device they wish. The MCP-compatible AI tool connects to Jira through this local server, enabling work to be performed. Since the connection is based on MCP rather than a specific AI platform, it can be integrated with various MCP-compatible AI tools such as Cursor, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code, Codex, to further automate and intelligently structure Jira workflows.
SoloHost expands its capabilities to contribute to the Raspberry Pi ecosystem with pioneers.

OpenClaw and Atlassian MCP servers demonstrate how SoloHost supports a variety of self-hosted software tailored to diverse user needs, from local AI agents to more professional developer utilities.

This enables Pi Desktop and Node to access more ways to utilize computers for local AI, making it easier to access other self-hosted applications, and further expanding the use of blockchain infrastructure beyond Pi Desktop. Through SoloHost, users can enjoy the benefits of AI while processing more data and computational tasks on their own devices, reducing reliance on third-party remote infrastructure.
At the same time, these two apps show how developers can create various tools to introduce the Raspberry Pi ecosystem and provide more than 420,000 Raspberry Pi Node users and desktop users with a way to do so.

With the addition of a self-hosted app, SoloHost expands into a practical utility platform, while also offering more ways for users to utilize the computing resources they already have.

SoloHost is currently a beta version and uses an open permission posting flow. Users must evaluate individual packages and take risks with installation on their own.

SMART CONTRACT V27 IS LIVE AND ACTIVE ON PI TESTNET — THE ERA OF AUTOMATED TRANSACTIONS ON PI NETWORK HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!

Today while exploring the Testnet, I spotted a transaction — and I can confirm: a real Smart Contract has officially launched for testing!

The address; CBFGCUHLWK6T74YNWVXZLG7WFAOU3SOIYRC3SVCCC6QK7VUGS6ESJSIZ is a smart contract address, NOT a personal wallet. It’s identified by the leading letter C (per Stellar/Soroban convention):

- G... = User Account / Personal Wallet
- C... = Contract Address

Let me break it down simply: this Smart Contract works like a "Super-Reliable Automatic Safe Manager".

The test transaction comes from the BNPi app () — here’s how it works, using booking a hotel room with Pi as an example:


Booking a Room with Pi

Imagine you’re renting a room for 100 Pi:

1. Fund the Safe: You tap to pay 100 Pi → Funds do NOT go straight to the host. They go into an escrow "safe" held securely by the Smart Contract.
2. Service Prep: The host sees funds are secured → They clean and prepare the room.
3. Auto Payout (Server Auto Release): You check in, everything is good, and the dispute window closes with no issues → The system automatically unlocks the safe and sends the full 100 Pi to the host!
4. If an issue arises: You tap "Dispute" → Funds stay locked in the safe and are handled strictly by pre-programmed rules — no one can cheat! No human middleman or staff needed to manually approve transfers! Once conditions are met, the system executes automatically — 100% transparent, no scam risk, no one runs off with funds!

DEEPER LOOK AT THE TESTNET TRANSACTION

The recorded transaction shows 52.3264332 Pi automatically released from the Escrow wallet to the receiving wallet.

This Smart Contract stores full real-world application details:

● Guest & Host
● Cleaning Partner
● Escrow Wallet
● Dispute System & Deadline
● Released = Successful Payment

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR US

This is the clearest proof yet that the Pi Core Team and developers are building an extremely solid foundation. Once Smart Contracts run smoothly, a wave of real-world dApps — e-commerce, ride-hailing, home rentals, service payments, and more — will operate 100% automatically on Mainnet! Isn’t this next-level tech?

Pi Smart Contracts are now live on Testnet!

BNPi is actively testing escrow and automated payments directly on-chain.

CRYPTO IS QUIETLY BUILDING A REGULATED LIQUIDITY LAYER!

Deribit's VARA broker-dealer approval in Dubai and its new arrangement to access Coinbase institutional spot liquidity highlight an important trend.

Crypto firms aren't just competing for users anymore.

They're increasingly connecting:

Regulated access → institutional liquidity → tokenized assets.

And the mention of future tokenized assets is particularly interesting.

This is where I see a Pi Network come into play.

Pi Network long-term opportunity shouldn't be reduced to get listed on another exchange, no.

The bigger opportunity is participating in an ecosystem where verified users, businesses, tokenized assets and payment infrastructure can interact under clearer regulatory frameworks.

Pi Network KYC/KYB infrastructure could become strategically relevant in that environment, but only if the ecosystem converts verification into real economic activity.

This is so because liquidity without users is limited.

Users without utility are limited.

And regulation without adoption doesn't create an economy.

The emerging model looks more like:

🏦 Regulation
💧 Liquidity
🪙 Tokenization
💳 Payments
🌍 Real-world utility
Identity

That's the infrastructure race.

Pi doesn't need to imitate Coinbase or Deribit. It needs to figure out where its own network fits in this emerging stack.
