Open Network has officially launched, marking a groundbreaking moment for all Pioneers! With external connectivity now enabled, Pioneers can engage in transactions beyond the Pi ecosystem, connect with KYB-verified businesses, and access new integrations like centralized exchanges. Want to explore all the new possibilities? Go to the Pi mining app home screen to watch a video from Pi Network founder, Chengdiao Fan, and read the official announcement. Discover how Open Network unlocks a new era for Pi and how you can be part of it!

Pi2Day celebrates double Pi Day — June 28th — because one day a year isn't enough to celebrate the Pi community. Watch the video below and head to the Pi mining app to learn more about Pi2Day 2026’s key releases: SoloHost, Pi Sign-In, and PiVerify!

Happy Pi2Day 2026 Pioneers! Pi Network is celebrating Pi2Day with new releases advancing Pi’s practical utility both within and beyond the Pi ecosystem, and across compute, AI, and identity. By first providing useful services and resources for external third-parties—such as Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, identity verification, and large globally engaged network—Pi offers multiple unique incentives to not only use Pi’s services but also join and contribute to Pi’s existing ecosystem. Head to the Pi mining app and read the Pi2Day announcement to learn more about the new SoloHost, Pi Sign-in, and PiVerify releases today! Also, take part in the Pi2Day Ecosystem Quest to learn more about the new releases, test features, and earn a special in-app badge to commemorate Pi2Day 2026—and show it off!

Pi2Day (tomorrow, June 28) is a moment to engage with new product releases and gain insight into the direction and priorities of the network. Reminder: This year, Pioneers also have a timely opportunity to take part in app utilities expansion, community growth, and ecosystem development feedback before the events end tomorrow on June 28. Participate in the two initiatives, the vibe coder campaign and Pi Launchpad Testnet token, now and stay tuned tomorrow for Pi2Day! minepi.com/blog/upcoming-…

Join Pi’s vibe coder campaign ahead of Pi2Day (June 28)! Pioneers can participate by joining relevant creator or developer communities and sharing why Pi may be useful for builders who already have prototypes or working apps built through AI platforms. Then submit your public post link in the Pi app for a chance to win Pi Network merchandise! Wondering how to introduce Pi to vibe coder communities? Posts introducing Pi can point vibe coders to Pi App Studio, explain how externally created apps can connect with Pi, and highlight the users, payments, ads platform, and broader infrastructure available through the Pi ecosystem. Pi’s value proposition should be clear: In the Pi ecosystem, vibe coders building web apps with AI can make their app accessible to 60M+ engaged users, and run their app on built-in payments, identity and ads infrastructure, by simply plugging their service or product into Pi Network. You can also: - Introduce Pi opportunities to creator communities; - Describe how Pi App Studio makes it simple for vibe coders to integrate with Pi; - Share statistics of organic traction Pi apps have received from the Pi ecosystem; - Explain why developers and creators should explore Pi.

As Pi2Day 2026 approaches on Sunday, June 28, Pioneers have four days left to participate in the Vibe Coder campaign with a raffle and the Pi Launchpad Testnet Token SLICE. Both initiatives help contribute to the growth, development, and use of the Pi ecosystem and its utilities. Pi2Day has historically been an important moment for Pi Network ecosystem milestones, updates, and feature releases. Participate in the two initiatives now, and stay tuned for Pi2day!

Pi2Day (June 28) has historically been a time for ecosystem milestones, updates, and feature releases. Last year Pi released: - Pi App Studio - Pi’s vision and solution to address AI-era challenges - Ecosystem Directory Staking - Node updates and Node ranking page - And more! Stay tuned on June 28 for what’s to come!

Pi Network has over 60 million Engaged Pioneers. For developers, that creates an important opportunity: How do useful apps get discovered by these millions of people on Pi? Ecosystem Directory Staking was built to help answer that. It is a decentralized way for Pioneers and businesses to actively support and promote the ranking of Pi apps and utilities in the Ecosystem Interface. Staking through this feature increases an app’s exposure to the Pi community, helping boost visibility within the ecosystem. This feature provides a self-service avenue for developers and creators to use Pi to tap into the attention resource of Pi Network to acquire users. As AI makes app creation easier and easier, the challenge shifts from building products to getting them in front of people. Ecosystem Directory Staking improves ecosystem discovery, making it easier for developers and creators to connect with users, and easier for users to discover new apps. minepi.com/blog/ecosystem…

Reminder for all Pi Mainnet Node operators: The majority of Mainnet node operators have already successfully upgraded to Protocol v25. If you have not yet upgraded your node, please do so at your earliest convenience to remain connected to the network. As with previous upgrades, the process is straightforward and should take only a few minutes to complete. Details: minepi.com/pi-node

Ecosystem Directory Staking just got a new look and improved user experience! Originally launched on Pi2Day 2025, staking through this feature increases an app’s exposure to the Pi community, resulting in more impressions and potentially more user traffic. By staking Pi, Pioneers can collectively support apps and services while developers and creators can promote their apps and tap into Pi’s 60M+ engaged community to acquire users. The update prepares the feature for further utilization by developers, creators, vibe coders and Pioneers as more apps onboard to the ecosystem. Note there are no rewards at the protocol level for staking, and the original staked amount will be returned once the staked duration has ended. Go to the Pi home screen to learn more about Ecosystem Directory Staking and check out the recent design updates to the Ecosystem Interface.

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. minepi.com/blog/launchpad…

Pi2Day (June 28) is approaching, and Pi’s vibe coder campaign will continue until that date! What exciting apps are you building ahead of Pi2Day? Vibe coders (app creators using AI) can use Pi App Studio to easily convert their apps built through platforms such as Codex, Claude Code, Replit, Cursor, Lovable or other AI-assisted coding tools, into Pi Apps. Pi can connect your AI-created apps with millions of engaged Pioneers, identity verification and Pi’s utility ecosystem. Learn more and deploy vibe coded apps on Pi today! minepi.com/vibe-code/

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. Learn more on the Pi home screen!

The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 25. Deadline: June 18. All Mainnet nodes are required to complete this step before the deadline to remain connected to the network. This upgrade takes longer to complete. Plan accordingly. Details here: minepi.com/pi-node
