PI News -
Pi Network unveiled its Ecosystem Directory Staking and Pi App Studio during Pi2Day 2025, triggering mixed reactions. While developers welcomed the studio, the staking mechanism—which requires locking Pi to boost app visibility without financial rewards—left users confused and disappointed.
The model diverges sharply from conventional crypto staking. Participants pay transaction fees only to reclaim their original stake after the lock-up period, receiving no yield. Core Team clarifications emphasized this as an ecosystem support tool rather than a profit vehicle, failing to quell discontent among Pioneers expecting traditional rewards.
