Pi Network Boosts Access with August Updates and Domain Auction

The Pi Core Team has kicked off August with a wave of product upgrades. These include PiPay V2 integration, enhanced Mainnet migration, and Pi App improvements. The focus is clear: bring more real-world utility to the Pi ecosystem and support global adoption.

One of the standout updates is PiPay V2, now fully integrated on-chain. This upgrade enables decentralized, secure payments across Pi apps and platforms. It’s a key step toward building a functional Web3 experience for users. The Pi App Utility Update also brings new tools to developers and Pioneers. These tools are designed to support real-world applications within the Pi ecosystem, improving both user experience and scalability.

Mainnet Migration and Global Access

The Mainnet migration process has also been optimized. It now supports faster onboarding, improved scalability, and a smoother experience for Pioneers moving to the Mainnet. This is a significant move, especially for users still transitioning from testnet environments.

In parallel, Pi Network has officially opened KYC access in Syria. This gives Syrian Pioneers the chance to complete verification and migrate to the Mainnet. It marks an important inclusion milestone, reinforcing Pi’s goal of global accessibility. Pioneers can check their KYC slot status through the Pi Browser app under the KYC section. The move has been welcomed by the Syrian community and is expected to drive local engagement.

.pi Domains Auction Extended

To encourage more innovation within its ecosystem, Pi Network has extended the .pi Domain auction deadline to September 30, 2025. The auction enables developers to claim branded domains for their Pi-based applications.

The extension offers developers more time to build, test, and showcase apps before submitting domain bids. This flexibility aims to foster a competitive and functional Pi App ecosystem powered by named domains. By offering recognizable domain extensions tied to apps, Pi hopes to improve branding, discoverability, and end-user trust across its network.

Pi Network Signals Serious Expansion

The August updates show Pi Network is moving from vision to execution. Pi Network is strengthening its foundation with better payments, smarter tools, and broader global reach. As it leans further into real Web3 use cases, its community of Pioneers keeps growing with it. The extended .pi domain auction adds further momentum, creating space for innovation to thrive. Together, these moves strengthen Pi’s position as a serious player in the decentralized economy.
