Pi Network, the mobile-based cryptocurrency platform, has announced two major updates to strengthen its ecosystem and improve user experience.
The latest developments, unveiled on Friday, include the addition of new apps to the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface and the introduction of a more secure and efficient account recovery option.
These updates reflect the digital platform’s ongoing commitment to utility, accessibility, and participation in its growing digital economy.
Pi Network’s new apps join the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface
The platform continues to expand its communities by adding five new apps to its Mainnet Ecosystem Interface. These apps include a snake game app, e-commerce platforms, and Pi token information services, and have met the network’s strict standards for quality, functionality, utility, and compliance with its ecosystem policies.
“Each new app listing not only expands what’s available for Pioneers today, but also helps set a stronger example for future developers,” the announcement stated.
The inclusion of these apps reinforces their focus on fostering real-world utility and encouraging innovation within their decentralized environment.
The network emphasized that the Mainnet app list is selective, prioritizing apps that deliver genuine value to Pioneers. “Note again that the Mainnet app list does not include all Mainnet and Mainnet-ready apps, as selection is limited based on quality, utility delivered, and compliance with Pi ecosystem policies and guidelines,” the update clarified. For a broader view of available apps, Pioneers can explore third-party directories that may list additional Pi-based applications.
Also, to improve user security and accessibility, the network has introduced a new account recovery option. Pioneers registered with a trusted email can now reset their passwords via an email link, supplementing existing recovery methods.
“The additional option is aimed at making account recovery more accessible and reliable while ensuring security since email recovery is simpler and cheaper for users, and reliable in general, e.g., no dependency on local telecommunications carriers,” the update explained.
Pi Network ventures: A $100 million boost for ecosystem growth
The latest updates follow another major development—the launch of Pi Network Ventures, a $100 million initiative designed to invest in startups and businesses that advance Pi’s real-world adoption. Announced on May 14, this program will allocate funds in both Pi and USD, targeting high-quality projects across various sectors.
“The strategic program also intends to invest in high-quality startups and companies across sectors, driving innovation and ecosystem growth,” the announcement noted. By supporting early-stage ventures that integrate Pi into real-world applications, the initiative marks a pivotal step in the company’s mission to establish itself as a leading player in the cryptocurrency space.
