Happy Pi Day 2026, Pi Network’s 7th official anniversary! Today’s releases introduce new ecosystem capabilities and expand how Pioneers can build, participate, and engage with Pi. New releases include the introduction of the Token Launchpad on Testnet, Node and protocol upgrades, second migrations, KYC validator rewards, new centralized exchange listing, Mainnet payments in Pi App Studio, and a Pi Day Utility Challenge. Read the blog for full details on each release! minepi.com/blog/pi-day-20…

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

@piketplace @PiBreaking314 When will the PiKets start arriving users wallets?

🔔 Clarification & Transparency About PiRewards Distribution We’ve seen some questions and concerns regarding the amount of PiRewards received by some users. This message is here to clarify, explain with real numbers, and give concrete examples so everyone clearly understands how PiRewards work. 📊 Real Example – September 2024 For September 2024, the platform recorded: • Total Ads impressions / actions: 813,630 Ads • Total Ads revenue: $260.54 • Average value per Ad: $0.0003195556 👉 These figures change every month depending on multiple factors, including: - Advertising performance and advertiser demand - Pi Core Team (CT) ad availability and allocation - User engagement and ad completion rates - Platform traffic and active users - Sponsored campaigns and promotions - Feedback and returns from advertisers - Overall ecosystem performance That’s why PiRewards amounts are not fixed and can be higher or lower from one month to another. 🪙 When and How PiRewards Are Earned It’s important to note that PiRewards depend on: - When the Pi is earned - The type of activities completed - The level of user engagement during that specific period 📌 In the same distribution: - Some users earned higher PiRewards due to stronger engagement and diversified activities - Others earned lower amounts or were below the minimum threshold (0.02 Pi) This variation is normal and reflects real participation and ecosystem performance. 🚀 PiAds Are NOT the Only Source of PiRewards PiRewards don’t come only from PiAds. Other activities can be more impactful, such as: • Sharing promotional links • Promoting sponsored products • Helping generate real purchases 🛒 Example: - A seller offers a 5% incentive on a 500 Pi product - A purchase is made through your shared promotional link - 👉 You can earn up to 25 Pi from a single successful promotion 🎯 Final Reminder PiRewards are: • Performance-based • Activity-driven • Community-funded • Transparent and trackable They are designed to reward real engagement, not to function as fixed payments per ad. 🙏 Thank you to everyone who participates, promotes, shares, buys, sells, and supports the ecosystem. 🎄 Excellent holidays to everyone, and let’s keep building together a strong, transparent, and useful Pi-powered marketplace!

This is clearly specified. As I mentioned before, Piketplace is a marketplace. Even if there are no sellers in your country yet, you can still use the platform by doing it between friends. For example, you can ask a friend to list a product, and you can easily purchase it. The goal is to help everyone learn and master how the platform works. Buying and selling on Piketplace is not complicated at all, and participating in transactions also allows you to take part in the current CT raffle. Thank you for your understanding. We wish you good luck, and please feel free to reach out again if you need any further assistance.

@piketplace There are no sellers in Turkey... If these rules were set from the beginning, we would not watch ads for hours.

You can fully benefit from the Pi you earn once they are available in your wallet, as well as from the PiKets you receive. As we explained, this system is designed to promote the platform and help people get familiar with real Pi usage. To use your Pi, you simply need to make a purchase: once the product is delivered, you have the product and the seller receives the Pi. You can even do this between friends , for example, one friend lists a product for sale and another buys it. We also want to clarify that the minimum transferable amount is 0.02 Pi. We hope this explains it clearly. If you have any other concerns, feel free to reach out.

@piketplace Why can't we pull the pis we earn

Piket Tesnet Token for Testing pi network testnet Blockchain

The Pi are not different it’s the same Pi, so PiRewards are not worth more than a regular Pi. In addition to PiRewards, PiKets will be proportionally added to wallets for internal Piketplace management and support. Thank you for the comments, this will help everyone understand better.

@piketplace @PiCoreTeam This can only be justified if PiRewards for viewing ads gets a higher value inside Piketplace other than the other. if Both Pi I hold in my wallet and that I earned viewing ads on your platform holds same value then I wasted resources on Piketplace viewing ads.

🔔 Important Notice About PiRewards To further facilitate purchases and promote the Pi ecosystem during the Holiday campaign, we have also adjusted the use of PiRewards, as many of you already know. 📌 What are PiRewards and how do they work? PiRewards are NOT free money. PiRewards are incentive coupons earned through: • Completing specific tasks on Piketplace • Engaging with PiAds • Sharing sponsored products and promotional content They are designed to encourage real usage of Pi and active participation in the Piketplace ecosystem. 🪙 Key Facts About PiRewards • PiRewards are distributed monthly, based on the platform’s profitability • After operational and management costs: – 90% of profits are allocated to the community – 10% are allocated to representatives • PiRewards amounts may vary each month depending on platform performance • PiRewards are issued in Pi tokens but can ONLY be used on Piketplace • PiRewards are non-transferable and belong exclusively to the user who earned them 📦 How PiRewards Are Used During a Purchase PiRewards are now directly visible in your Piket Wallet dashboard. When making a purchase: • PiRewards are automatically used first • Your main Pi balance is only used if PiRewards are insufficient 🧾 Example: • Product price: 2 Pi • Main Pi balance: 15 Pi • PiRewards balance: 3 Pi ➡️ The system will automatically use 2 Pi from PiRewards ➡️ Your main balance remains unchanged at 15 Pi ➡️ Remaining PiRewards: 1 Pi If you later purchase another product: • The remaining PiRewards will be used first • Any remaining amount will then be deducted from your main Pi balance 🎯 Purpose of PiRewards PiRewards exist to: • Promote the Pi ecosystem • Encourage purchases on Piketplace • Support sponsored products and PiAds • Reward active and engaged users They are not cash withdrawals and cannot be transferred to other users. 📊 Transparency & Tracking • All PiRewards earnings, usage, and distributions are visible in your dashboard • Purchase usage and reward deductions are clearly displayed • Distribution timing and conditions are communicated transparently 👉 Please make sure you understand these rules to fully benefit from PiRewards and use them correctly. Together, let’s continue building a strong, transparent, and useful Pi-powered marketplace.

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it. First clarification: PiketBot was launched using Pi Core Team’s Pi Studio platform. It does NOT set, calculate, or announce ad prices or fixed rewards. If any specific “price per ad” was mentioned, that information is not official and may simply be a misunderstanding or incorrect interpretation. About PiRewards amounts: As explained, we only distribute PiRewards based on real monthly income and platform performance. Some users have earned higher amounts (including close to 40 Pi in some cases), while others earned less this depends on activity, timing, and the month’s results. It’s also important to note that some months you are referring to have not yet been distributed. Rewards are issued only after Pi is actually acquired and all calculations are finalized. PiRewards are not fixed, not guaranteed, and change from month to month. We sincerely thank you for your feedback. It helps us improve communication and continue developing the platform in the best possible way for the community.

@piketplace @PiCoreTeam It's so disappointing... Pioneers may not engage further with Pi Ads on Piketplace as the payouts couldn't even cover the cost of Internet data spent to view these ads for the month. Moreover your PiketBot tells a different thing about Pi Ads rewards amount.

Thanks for your comment we understand your reaction, and it’s a fair question. A quick clarification: PiRewards are NOT calculated per ad watched. They are distributed monthly based on the platform’s total profitability, after operational costs. For example, in September 2024: • Total Ads actions: 813,630 • Total Ads revenue: $260.54 • Average value per Ad: ~$0.000319 So the final PiRewards amount depends on: • Total Ads revenue for that month • Overall platform performance • The number of active participants • The moment when the PiRewards were earned Also important to note 👇 PiAds are only ONE source of PiRewards. Activities like: • Sharing promotional links • Promoting products • Helping generate real sales can earn significantly more PiRewards. For example, a single shared product with a 5% commission on a 500 Pi item can earn up to 25 Pi far more than ads alone. Some users earned over 50 Pi in certain months, others less this variation is normal and performance-based. PiRewards are meant to reward real ecosystem participation, not to be a fixed payment per ad. We appreciate your engagement and encourage you to explore the more profitable reward options available on Piketplace.

@piketplace @PiCoreTeam 0.98Pi rewards after watching 1947 ads🫩.... Are you kidding me? What's this?????

@jeankaty9 @PiCoreTeam Please try to clear your Pi browser data.

@piketplace @PiCoreTeam Why PiAds not work on Pitketplace plateform?
