😱SHOCKING NEWS 💥💥💥 🏁 IN THE CRYPTO WORLD! #PICORETEAM HAS OFFICIALLY OPEN ITS SOURCE CODE! Pi Smart Contracts are now fully public on GitHub! 👇 100% transparent. Community can test, audit, and contribute today. This is a historic milestone for Pi Network! #PiNetwork #OpenSource #PiCoreTeam #pi #Pismartcontract

Pi Launchpad has updated its participation flow and model, incorporating data and feedback from the first Testnet token that launched on Pi Day 2026! The first Launchpad test token attracted over 478,000 participating Pioneers and generated valuable feedback on the Launchpad mechanism. That feedback has now been incorporated into a simpler participation flow, updated Launchpad mechanics, and an improved user experience. A second test token “SLICE” is now live on Testnet to help evaluate if the updates can achieve these goals, and to give Pioneers another chance to learn the new ecosystem token mechanics. As a reminder, SLICE is a Testnet token and will never go onto Mainnet. To participate: • Open Pi Launchpad in Pi Browser • Review the SLICE test token and project • Choose a commitment amount in Test-Pi • Confirm participation • Engage with the Slice of Pi app and provide feedback Participation will remain open until Pi2Day on June 28. Learn more on the Pi home screen!

Chat is coming soon to Elf Continent. A new way for Pioneers to connect.💚

Network Update: Upgrade to protocol 24 has been completed successfully. Great job to all Nodes! This was one of the most challenging migrations. Next up will be v25, deadline June 18.

The CiDi Games platform continues to make progress and has released 4 new games for Pioneers to experience! CiDi Games, a Pi Network Ventures portfolio company, gives Pioneers new ways to use Pi through gaming, while also extending the Pi ecosystem with infrastructure that can support more games and developers over time. Learn more in the Pi app.

CiDi Games, a Pi Network Ventures portfolio company, launched their beta app in the Pi Browser! This brought Pioneers 10 instant-access games along with skill-based tournaments, platform progression through CiDiScore, the Pi ELF companion experience, Elf Continent, and developer infrastructure for Pi-integrated games. In less than one week after the beta launch, CiDi Games independently attracted over 81,000 Pioneers across 160 regions and 1.2 million game sessions organically, demonstrating how the Pi Platform can help utility-focused apps reach real users, drive engagement, and monetization, which in turn expands utility across the Pi ecosystem. Go to the Pi app today to learn more!

The Pi Mainnet is upgrading to Protocol 24 – Deadline: June 2. The Pi Mainnet has successfully upgraded to Protocol 23. All Mainnet nodes are required to complete this step before the deadline to remain connected to the network. Details here: minepi.com/pi-node

🔥 #PiNetwork: THE IMPORTANCE OF ACTIVATING RPC FROM PI NODES BEFORE MAINNET RPC LAUNCH.🏁🚀 Cc: @PiCoreTeam @nkokkalis @Chengdiao After Pi Network activated community nodes on the Mainnet and launched the RPC Testnet, the community is preparing for the official launch of PiRPC (RPC operated by community nodes). This is a crucial step in making the network more decentralized, robust, and accessible. What is RPC and why is it necessary? RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is an interface that allows applications and developers to connect directly to the Pi blockchain to read data (read-only, free) or perform transactions that change state (requires gas fees - from Smartcontracts similar to other blockchains). The official RPC from the Pi Testnet has been released, supporting the efficient development and testing of smart contracts. Advantages of community-created PiRPC on Mainnet: Increased decentralization and reliability: Instead of relying entirely on Pi's official RPC, hundreds of thousands of community nodes will provide multiple different RPC endpoints. This reduces network congestion, increases query speed, and improves fault tolerance. Strong RPC support for dApps and smart contracts: Developers can build applications with real-time data and easily test contracts without incurring costs for read-only (free) commands. Community-based PiRPC will foster a more diverse dApp ecosystem. Conversely, writing to the chain incurs gas fees. Opportunities for node operators: Node operators can set up their own RPCs (internal or public), contributing to network security, receiving rewards, and participating deeply in the ecosystem. Increased accessibility and the Mainnet will have more community-generated RPC endpoints, enabling faster global user connections, especially as the number of active nodes increases (Pi currently has over 421,000 active nodes). Enabling RPC from community Pi nodes is key to the Pi Network's transition from testing to a true Mainnet, delivering a truly decentralized system, supporting large-scale application development, and empowering the Pioneer community. This is a solid foundation for Pi's Web3 future. Prepare your node to contribute and benefit from RPC within this ecosystem!

Watch Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis speak in the Consensus 2026 panel “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself)”. The discussion focused on how digital trust and identity verification systems must evolve as AI makes it possible to generate bots, agents, and synthetic identities that closely resemble real human behavior at scale. The panel explored a core question for the AI era: how systems can continue to verify real human participation without requiring unnecessary disclosure of personal information. A key theme was that proof of humanity is context-dependent, with different systems requiring different levels of verification depending on use case and risk. The importance of privacy-preserving design was also highlighted, ensuring verification can scale while remaining usable for real users. As AI lowers the barrier to building and interacting online, the harder challenge may be connecting digital systems to real users, trusted participation, and meaningful utility. Pi’s Layer 1 blockchain, identity verification, payments infrastructure, non-custodial wallets, smart contracts, and engaged global community are all part of Pi’s ongoing work to address that challenge.
