Universe of Pi

Let’s talk straight about what’s coming with the V23 protocol update and why it matters for anyone holding or considering $Pi. Once V23 hits Mainnet, $Pi it becomes programmable. That means developers can build smart contracts, launch tokens, and create tools that let people swap assets instantly. Liquidity will be real, not theoretical. Prices will reflect actual market activity, not community wishlists. Your Pi Wallet will evolve too. It’ll store multiple assets, show live prices, and connect with bridges and aggregators. That’s a big shift, it means $Pi will behave like any other crypto with real exchange logic behind it. Now here’s the part that needs clearing up. There’s a group still pushing the idea of GCV, Global Consensus Value, as if it’s a guaranteed future. They tell newcomers that the $Pi listed on exchanges isn’t “REAL,” and that just a few Pi could make you a millionaire. That kind of messaging creates confusion, not confidence. New investors see mixed signal...

The Pi Core Team recently participated in TOKEN2049, one of the most recognized cryptocurrency conferences globally. Their presence was not simply for visibility, it was a deliberate message to the Web3 community. It signaled that Pi Network is not just another digital asset. It is a functioning ecosystem with practical tools and a clear direction. Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis at Token2049 Dr. Chengdiao Fan Dr. Chengdiao Fan with Pioneers This was not just a promotional gesture. It was followed by meaningful action. Post-Event Developments: A Functional Toolkit for Developers Immediately after TOKEN2049, the Pi Core Team released a major upgrade to the Pi Testnet. This was not a preview or concept, it was a complete set of tools designed for decentralized finance (DeFi) experimentation. The upgrade included: - A fully operational decentralized exchange (Pi DEX) - Liquidity pool mechanics for automated token swaps - Token creation tools for testin...

Nicolas Kokkalis at Token2049 The Pi Core team has just rolled out a major upgrade to the Pi ecosystem, now live on the Testnet. This release introduces three foundational tools that open the door to decentralized finance experiments within the Pi community: What’s New on Pi Testnet - Pi DEX, a decentralized exchange interface - Liquidity pool mechanics for automated token swaps - Token creation tools for testing custom assets   These features are now accessible to developers and Pioneers who want to explore how decentralized finance works in practice. On Testnet, users can: - Swap tokens and observe how value moves between assets - Add or remove liquidity using test versions of Pi - Create and test their own tokens - Interact with real exchange and liquidity interfaces   Why Testnet First? This phase is designed for learning, safe experimentation, and refining tools before they go live on Mainnet. It’s a sandbox for builders and educators to understand t...

Let’s talk about something most crypto projects skip: the actual foundation that makes innovation possible. Pi isn’t just throwing features into the wind and hoping they stick. It’s building the roads, bridges, and traffic systems that make sure those features lead somewhere useful. And that’s what separates hype from real growth. What Does “Infrastructure” Really Mean? In crypto, we often hear about new tools, wallets, exchanges, tokens. But without infrastructure, those tools are like apps without an operating system. They might look good, but they don’t work together, and they don’t scale. Pi is doing something different. It’s not just launching features, it’s building the framework that supports them. Think of it like Amazon launching its own token. If Amazon just said “Here’s a coin,” it wouldn’t mean much. But if they tied that coin to verified buyers, seller tools, storefronts, ad systems, and delivery logistics? Now you’ve got something powerful. Pi is doing that, b...

Let’s unpack what just happened. During her keynote at TOKEN2049, Dr. Chengdiao Fan announced a major milestone for Pi Network: the launch of decentralized exchange (DEX), automated market maker (AMM), and token creation features, now live on the Pi Testnet. This isn’t just a technical update. It’s a signal that Pi is stepping into the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) with a clear focus on utility, education, and community empowerment. What’s Now Possible on Testnet Developers and Pioneers can now explore how token swaps, liquidity pools, and decentralized trading work, hands-on. The Pi Wallet interface already shows these options, linking users to the Testnet where they can interact using Test-Pi (a test-only version of Pi). This setup gives everyone a safe space to learn, experiment, and refine their approach before anything goes live on Mainnet. It’s like a sandbox where you can build, break, and rebuild, without risking real assets. ...
