Pi Network Hits 10,000 Apps Milestone as Mainnet & App Studio Steal the Show

Pi Network just leveled up—big time. With its Mainnet launch and App Studio gaining traction, the project smashed through the 10,000-app barrier. Here’s why it matters.

The Mainnet effect: No training wheels

Gone are the days of testnet training wheels. Pi’s Mainnet is live, and developers are flocking to build—fast. The result? A surge of 10,000 apps (and counting) in its ecosystem. Not bad for a project Wall Street ‘experts’ still call ‘just a mobile mining experiment.’

App Studio: The silent disruptor

While crypto bros obsess over token prices, Pi’s App Studio quietly became the secret weapon. Drag-and-drop tools lowered the barrier for devs, sparking a gold rush of decentralized apps—from DeFi to social networks—without the usual gas-guzzling Ethereum fees.

The bottom line

Pi Network’s playing 4D chess while others chase pumps. With 10,000 apps now live and Mainnet firing on all cylinders, even the skeptics are running out of reasons to ignore it. (Though we’re sure they’ll find some—those hedge fund analysts need to justify their salaries somehow.)

Unveiled during the Pi2Day event, PI App Studio is a no-code platform that lets users build AI-powered apps just by describing their ideas in plain language: no coding needed. The App Studio allows everyday users, known as Pioneers, to become app creators.

On the mainnet, applications like Map of Pi, Fruity Pi, CARE FOR PI, LINK for Pi, Thepitogo Services, World OF PI Mainnet, LatinChain Platform, 1pi Mall, WorkforcePool, and PlayGames are live.

However, Dr Altcoin earlier said on X that the App Studio reached a hard limit at 8,430 accepted apps, locking out new creators. Many Pi users are surprised and frustrated by the low app limit, especially since the Pi Core Team has over 4 million followers. One user joked, “8430 app limit? I can’t even laugh, my head might hurt!” Some called the rollout sloppy, and questioned how many of the 8,000+ apps will even be useful.

The buzz shows there’s huge interest in building within the Pi ecosystem as the 8430 app limit seems to have already been crossed while the exact upper limit remains questionable. With new apps continuing to go live hassle-free, the 10,000 app milestone is easy to reach, unless the Pi CORE team actually comes up with something to place limitations.
