The Pi Network team has shared updates on the .pi domains auction, which was revealed during the Pi Day 2025 announcement. These domains are intended to serve as functional Web3 identifiers for applications and storefronts.
What Are pi Domains?
The .pi domains auction is described as a platform-level utility that 'harnesses the collective resources of the Pi community and Open Network’s external connectivity to further Pi’s role in real-world commerce and digital interactions.' .pi domains function similarly to traditional domains, enabling businesses and individuals to establish a clear online identity or digital storefront within the Web3 social network.

Recent updates on the auction include a dedicated interface for showing real-time statistics, where users can view domains with the most bids and highest prices. The second major update involves the integration of the auction into the Pi App, facilitating easier access and participation. Bonus updates include an improved bidding interface and the option to receive email notifications about individual domain updates.
Perspectives and Community Engagement
The team reported that the auction has already gathered over 100,000 bids shortly after its launch. The engagement from Pioneers, businesses, and developers is facilitating the expansion of the Pi ecosystem, indicating real interest and user engagement. All proceeds from the auction will be used to support the Pi ecosystem, including developer programs and events.
The updates on the .pi domains auction emphasize the active development and support of the community, creating new opportunities for interaction within the Web3 ecosystem.
