The Pi Network team announced two major updates during this year’s Pi2Day celebration. In a post on social media, the Pi Core Team shared that they had rolled out new features aimed at growing the Pi ecosystem. These updates were supposed to show progress in the project, but many community members quickly voiced their disappointment.
Pi Network (PI) introduced Pi App Studio as the first update. According to the Pi Core Team, this is an AI-powered platform that lets anyone build Pi apps even if they have no coding experience. They said it was designed to tackle global challenges by combining blockchain and AI technologies, giving developers and users a chance to create apps that can make a difference.

The second big feature was the Ecosystem Directory Staking. This new tool allows Pioneers and businesses in the Pi Network community to stake PI coins on the Mainnet blockchain. By doing this, they can help boost the ranking of their favorite apps in the Ecosystem Interface, which is meant to encourage quality app development and more activity within the Pi Network.
Other Pi Network Updates Announced
Alongside these two headline features, the Pi Core Team listed several other technical updates. These included a new Node version update that aims to improve stability for people running Pi Nodes. They also mentioned adding a third-party onramp aggregator to make it easier for users to bring funds into the ecosystem. The extension of the .pi Domains Auction and upgrades to the Mainnet Migration process were also announced. The team invited users to check out these changes directly in the Pi mining app.
The Pi Core Team encouraged everyone to join the Pi2Day Ecosystem Challenge. By exploring the new features and engaging with the ecosystem, Pioneers could earn digital prizes.
Pi Community Reactions Show Frustration
Despite the announcements, many community members were not happy. Analyst Wessam Samir shared his disappointment on X, saying there was no news about a PI coin exchange listing, no updates on speeding up the second migration, and no solution to ongoing KYC problems. He described the updates as AI-powered apps and ecosystem features that don’t address the real issues.
Announcement is out, no new listing on exchanges, no KYC problem solving, No 2nd migration speed up, nothing new. Some AI powered apps and ecosystem crap. EXPECTED from core team 👏
