Pi Sign-in allows supported third-party websites and apps to offer Pi accounts as a sign-in or sign-up option.
It helps provide the infrastructure that allows applications and services to recognize, connect, and serve users across and outside the ecosystem.
This means Pioneers can access supported services with their Pi account instead of creating a new account or password for every app.
Why would third-party services or websites want to integrate Pi Sign-in? Pi Sign-in creates a simpler way to connect them with Pi’s large user base and bring Pi users into their own product experiences. It also gives Pi more presence in third-party contexts while offering a way to tap into the additional benefits and resources of Pi Network, besides user traffic.

PiVerify is a KYC identity verification service available to third-party companies, making Pi’s real-human verification capabilities available outside the Pi ecosystem.
With PiVerify, external platforms can verify their users, reduce fake or duplicate accounts, and support compliance-related identity workflows.
For businesses and platforms, the need is straightforward: many digital services need to know whether users are real people. Verified identities are needed for any meaningful transactions, especially in real-world economies.
PiVerify services are also paid for in Pi, which increases Pi utility.
By making this infrastructure available to third parties, the Pi2Day 2026 PiVerify release extends the utility of Pi’s verified identity technology and resources beyond Pi’s own apps and services.

What If Pi’s Biggest Asset Isn't the Coin? 💭
Everyone talks about Pi's price.
But what if the real asset is the ecosystem of millions of verified users behind it?
Coins can be copied.
Communities can grow.
Technology can evolve.
But building trust with millions of real people takes years.
In the long run, networks are often valued by who participates, not just what they trade. 🌐

Pi Is Measuring Patience, Not Just Performance ⏳
Most crypto projects are judged within months.
Pi has spent years testing something harder to measure: whether a community stays engaged even when excitement fades.
Anyone can join during a bull market.
The real test is who stays when progress takes time.
Sometimes the strongest networks are built by patience, not speed. 🌱

Pi Is Building Network Effects 🔗
The value of a network doesn't come from the first user.
It comes from the next million.
Every new pioneer, developer, merchant, and node makes the Pi ecosystem more useful for everyone else.
That's called the network effect—and it's one of the strongest forces in technology.
The bigger the connected community becomes, the greater the potential value of the ecosystem. 🚀

Pi App Studio has released two updates to help creators build more engaging and useful app experiences.
1. Backend support enables persistent user experiences for newly created App Studio apps: Apps can save and retrieve user-specific data across sessions, enabling experiences that continue even after users leave and return.
2. AI-assisted App Planning Phase: Creators can develop their ideas with the help of AI before App Studio generates the app. This helps guide creators from an initial idea toward a more complete app concept in a more interactive and dynamic way.

Pi App Studio backend support has been enabled! Backend capabilities begin with persistent storage for newly created App Studio apps, allowing apps to save and retrieve user-specific data across sessions.
Creators can now build App Studio apps with user experiences that continue even after users leave and return.
For example:
- Game apps can remember a user’s high scores
- Productivity apps can remember a user’s to-do lists
- Note-taking apps can preserve notes automatically
Before, Pi App Studio apps were largely limited to frontend-only, single-session experiences, where app data such as preferences or progress would disappear if users left the app.
Adding backend support is a significant App Studio platform milestone because it expands what AI-created apps can practically do on Pi Network. Persistent storage is the first capability built on this foundation, enabling a broader range of useful, everyday applications.

Pi Launchpad has completed the distribution of its second Testnet token, SLICE!
Explore the post-launch experience and see how liquidity pools work through the new price tracking feature!
The Launchpad app in Pi Browser shows individual allocation details, the launch and effective token prices, access to the SLICE liquidity pool, and a chart tracking changes in the SLICE price relative to Test-Pi.
Go to the Pi mining app to learn more about the SLICE launch and liquidity pool mechanics.

Go to the Pi mining app to learn more about the SLICE launch and liquidity pool mechanics.
In the Pi Launchpad model, projects issue tokens as tools to acquire users for their applications and integrate those tokens directly into product functionality, such as access, payments, rewards, and governance.
Instead of being taken by the issuing project, the proceeds of Pi from their token launch go to a liquidity pool with the ecosystem token, which bootstraps a healthy liquidity foundation from the start.
For the SLICE test launch on Testnet, this results in a liquidity pool containing SLICE and Test-Pi. In addition to matching individual buyers and sellers through a traditional decentralized order book on the Pi DEX, the pool uses an automated market maker algorithm to calculate swaps based on the amounts of both assets it currently holds.
Learn more about how the SLICE liquidity pool works.

🚀 Pi Network: The Bigger Picture
Pi’s real story isn’t just about today’s price.
The bigger opportunity is whether Pi can build a useful ecosystem where users, developers, and businesses actually use Pi in everyday transactions.
As the network evolves, adoption and utility could become more important than short-term market moves.
📌 Price gets attention. Utility creates value.
The next chapter for Pi may depend less on hype — and more on what people can actually do with Pi.

New SoloHost Apps Featured on Pi Desktop
OpenClaw and the Atlassian MCP Server are now featured in SoloHost on Pi Desktop, released alongside Node version 0.6.2.
OpenClaw is a local AI agent operating inside a container to assist with tasks while restricting default access to local computer resources.
The Atlassian MCP Server allows users to run a local server that connects compatible AI tools with Jira for workflow organization.
These applications expand Pi Desktop utility by making it easier for Pioneers to discover and run self-hosted software on their devices.
