PIPAPA

As announced on Pi Day 2026, the initial version of the Token Launchpad has been released as a Pi App on the Testnet with a test token! Watch the video walkthrough to learn the implemented design in action, and read the blog—originally published in the Pi Day announcement—to understand its deeper meaning. minepi.com/blog/pi-launch… Pi believes financial literacy is necessary for people to live in an AI-pervasive economy, so Pioneers should start learning today by testing the Testnet Launchpad app through the Pi Browser.

All major Pi nodes have now been upgraded to version 20.2 and are supporting protocol 20. Pi has also completed the upgrade of its Mainnet blockchain to protocol 20. Protocol 20 provides the foundation to enable smart contract capabilities, and the rollout of smart contracts will occur gradually, prioritizing categories that align with utility-based product innovation and operations. The specific types of smart contracts featured will depend heavily on the needs arising from the utility creation process. Read the Pi Day 2026 blog to learn more about protocol 20 and smart contracts minepi.com/blog/pi-day-20…

The initial version of the Pi Launchpad has been released as a Pi App on the Testnet with a test token! Because the Launchpad introduces new concepts for many Pioneers and uses mechanisms that differ from typical token launches in Web3, it is being introduced on Testnet first so the community can become familiar with how the process works before the Mainnet launch. The Launchpad implements the mechanism in Design 1 of the PiRC (github.com/PiNetwork/PiRC) released on the Open Network anniversary. Read more about the Launchpad in the Pi Day 2026 blog minepi.com/blog/pi-day-20…

Pi Network is excited to announce that second migrations have started and will continue with a gradual rollout, opening the door for Pioneers to bring additional Pi to Mainnet and further participate in the ecosystem! While second migrations roll out, first migrations for eligible Pioneers will continue as normal. To be eligible for migrations, Pioneers must set up Pi Wallet two-factor authentication (2FA) through the Mainnet Checklist Step 3. This may include adding a trusted email address to their accounts if not set up yet. 2FA is enforced before migrations to enhance wallet security because transfers on the blockchain are irreversible and immutable. Second migrations will also include referral mining bonuses attributable to Referral Team members who fully passed KYC. Pioneers should therefore remind their Referral Teams to complete KYC so these bonuses can be migrated.

Network Update: Protocol v19.9 migration successfully completed. Next up is v20.2 — Aiming to complete before Pi Day 2026. Node operators should make sure they’re upgraded and stay tuned for further instructions: minepi.com/pi-node/

Protocol upgrades in progress (Step 3 – Deadline: March 12): The Pi Mainnet blockchain protocol continues to undergo a series of upgrades. All Mainnet Nodes are required to complete this step before the deadline to remain connected to the network. Details here: minepi.com/pi-node

Why is Pi focusing on AI? What does AI have to do with blockchain? Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan explores how Pi is working to address the fundamental changes emerging in the AI era.

Pi released a deep-dive case study into the recent proof-of-concept project for a new Pi Node utility that supports decentralized AI training and computing tasks for third-parties using the spare computing capacity of over 421,000 Pi Nodes. In collaboration with OpenMind, a robotics startup invested in by Pi Network Ventures, this project showed that Pi Nodes can process AI-relevant workloads and return useful results quickly. This work is part of and provides insights for the general initiative to integrate Pi into AI infrastructure itself, utilizing distributed computing and enabling authentic human input for AI training, inference, and reinforcement learning. minepi.com/blog/openmind-…

What is the significance of Pi KYC, and what’s next? Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis explores the importance of Pi KYC both internally and for the next stage of this initiative to treat KYC itself as a service—KYC as a platform capability.

What is the network working on now? Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis offers an overview on how the network will continue the general work that matters to Pioneers such as KYC and Migration, and to developers such as improving and expanding the tools that enable them to build easier on Pi, and various initiatives that are intended to facilitate more utility on Pi.

What are Pi ecosystem tokens and what is the design thinking for ecosystem tokens on Mainnet? Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan dives deep into Pi’s unique approach to ecosystem token design — Pi’s focus is not on tokens for their own sake, or on mechanisms and integrations in isolation, but on enabling useful, utility-driven tokens and supporting the real innovation behind them. Learn more on the specifics of ecosystem token design here. Pioneers are encouraged to comment, discuss with other community members and share specific suggestions on specific sections. github.com/PiNetwork/PiRC

@PiCoreTeam 🤗🚀

Happy first anniversary of Open Network! To celebrate this milestone, Pi Founders Chengdiao Fan and Nicolas Kokkalis dive deeper into Pi’s strategy, approach, and current work since Open Network—while also providing greater visibility into the direction and priorities guiding Pi’s continued development, including Pi’s ecosystem tokens design on Mainnet, KYC as a service, and AI. Watch the full video to learn more. youtube.com/watch?v=TYihqh…

Important reminder for Nodes: The Pi Mainnet blockchain protocol is currently undergoing a series of upgrades. The deadline for the first upgrade step is February 15. All Mainnet nodes must complete this step to remain connected to the network. More information is available here minepi.com/pi-node/

Every First Friday of February (FFF day), Pi celebrates Moderator Appreciation Day! Today is about recognizing the moderators who make the Pi Network community what it is. Thanks to all Pi moderators for their incredible volunteer efforts in supporting the Pi community—assisting Pioneers, translating content, managing Pi Chats, answering questions, and more. youtu.be/RDMES5HLAUw Watch the celebration video and remember to thank Pi moderators for their hard work and commitment to Pi’s global community!
