During the Pi2Day 2025 celebration, Pi Network introduced several significant updates to its ecosystem, including a new application creation platform and staking mechanisms.
Launch of Pi App Studio
At the core of the new releases is Pi App Studio, a no-code, AI-assisted platform that allows users of any technical background to create and manage apps within Pi's decentralized ecosystem. Pi App Studio provides structured workflows for app creation, merging the current AI infrastructure breakthroughs with community creativity. This initiative aims to enhance accessibility to app development while lowering the costs associated with app creation.
Staking System for App Support
Another key innovation is the staking system, which allows users and developers to boost the visibility of their apps in the Pi ecosystem by staking Pi tokens. Apps with larger stakes receive higher rankings in the directory, creating incentives for quality and community engagement. This new system distinguishes itself from traditional algorithm-driven approaches by offering a more decentralized way of ranking applications.
Additional Ecosystem Enhancements
The updates presented at Pi2Day 2025 also include the integration of the Onramper system to simplify user access to tokens, improvements for version 0.5.2 of the desktop node, and an extension of the .pi domain auction until September 30, 2025. These changes aim to enhance user experience and support innovation within the ecosystem.
The updates released at Pi2Day 2025 emphasize Pi Network's commitment to developing a human-centered and decentralized approach to application creation, enhancing user engagement and interests.
