Pi Network marked its annual Pi2Day celebration with the launch of two major tools aimed at expanding its decentralized ecosystem: a no-code AI app creation suite and a staking-based app ranking system.
The new Pi App Studio allows users to build functional blockchain apps using plain-text instructions, removing the need for programming experience. Early features include customizable AI chatbots and a beta builder that auto-generates apps based on user prompts. Available within the Pi Browser, the tool is designed to empower everyday users to create and own digital products.
In parallel, the network introduced Ecosystem Directory Staking, a community-driven app discovery system. Instead of relying on centralized advertising, the ranking of apps is now influenced by how much Pi users are willing to stake toward them. More staked Pi equals higher visibility, rewarding quality and user engagement.
The rollout also came with a new version of Pi Node software and a streamlined mainnet onboarding process, which has already helped over 500,000 users transition.
Other developments include an extension of the .pi domain auction, a fiat on-ramp aggregator to ease entry for newcomers, and the launch of the Pi2Day Ecosystem Challenge, a rewards campaign encouraging users to test the new features via the Pi app.
