Pi Network Drops Two Revolutionary Features Just in Time for Pi2Day 2025

Pi Network shakes up crypto space with dual upgrades on its annual celebration day.

Game-Changer #1: Lightning-Fast Transactions

The first feature slashes confirmation times to near-instant—finally making coffee purchases with crypto plausible (if not financially advisable).

Game-Changer #2: Zero-Fee Microtransactions

By eliminating gas fees entirely, Pi undercuts Ethereum's 'digital toll booths'—because nothing says decentralization like paying bankers to move your money.

These upgrades drop as Pi2Day hits—because what better time to launch disruptive tech than during a made-up holiday? The moves position Pi as a dark horse in the payments race, though skeptics note the token still trades at 'hopium' valuations.

• Pi Network unveiled two groundbreaking tools: an AI-driven App Studio and a staking-based Ecosystem Directory to boost app visibility.
• Over 13 million users are now on Mainnet, with more than 7.4 billion Pi migrated and 400,000 active nodes supporting the ecosystem.
• Pi Network Ventures committed $100 million to drive real-world Pi adoption, with gaming marked as a core focus.

On Pi2Day 2025, Pi Network unveiled two transformative additions to its expanding blockchain infrastructure: Pi App Studio and Ecosystem Directory Staking.

The App Studio is an AI-enabled, no-code environment designed specifically for the development of decentralized applications by anyone. It complements the PI Network’s mass adoption vision well by lowering the point of entry to app development, with a target direction towards non-technical people.

Happy Pi2Day 2025! Today, Pi has introduced two exciting features to the ecosystem and provided various tech and product updates.

Concurrently, the Ecosystem Directory Staking allows users and businesses to promote apps from the Pi Mainnet by staking Pi tokens. This method ensures quality exposure for the developer while also offering Pioneers control over rankings within the ecosystem.

Along with these features, updates also include interoperability with a third-party onramp aggregator, expansion of the .pi Domains Auction, and improvement of the Mainnet migration system. The website also introduced the Pi2Day Ecosystem Challenge, an incentive program to encourage users to utilize these features.

100 Days of Open Network: Metrics Reflect Growing Adoption

Since the release of the Open Network, Pi Network has made tremendous progress across several fronts. Over 13 million Pioneers have been successfully migrated over to the Mainnet, by count from the Pi Core team.

7.4 billion Pi tokens have been traded, 5.2 billion are locked, and 2.2 billion are available for use. Over 400,000 active nodes are online across Mainnet and both testnets.

In addition to launching the Pi Network Ventures development initiative which strategically invests in startups and businesses, key…

As Open Network’s reach goes global, businesses that qualify for KYB verification can transact with the Pi world. This attainment complements Pi’s long-term goal of expanding crypto’s appeal with the masses.

The Ecosystem Interface has also been improved markedly. Developers can even self-list their apps, and the interface has also become polished to make it easy to use. More Pi apps have also become part of the Mainnet interface, extending the reach of the network.

PiFest Draws 1.8M Users and 125K Merchants Worldwide

PiFest, initiated shortly after the Open Network launch, engaged over 125,000 merchants all over the globe. Over 1.8 million individuals engaged through the Map of Pi app, and over 45,000 product reviews were made with Pi as the payment method.

Pi Network Ventures’ announcement of a $100 million fund signifies actual traction towards accelerating blockchain into commerce and games. One of the initial products, the fruit-matching game FruityPi, showed Pi’s payment integration, economies of the games, and advertisement revenue.

Another key utility advantage was the .pi Domains Auction, by means of which over 69,000 domains received bids valued at 3 million Pi. These are the digital identities set to propel apps, businesses, and users in a decentralized way.
