Pi Network community members and developers discussed new priorities recently to boost real-world use. According to openmainnet, the push aims to move the project beyond a mining app into broader finance.
The suggested roadmap emphasizes a robust DeFi stack with peer-to-peer lending, staking rewards, and decentralized exchanges. Collaborations with protocols like Aave and Uniswap were recommended to enable interest earnings and seamless trading.
Participants also urged an upgrade of the Stellar-based consensus to support smart contracts and add L2 scaling solutions. They called for educational tutorials, incentives in emerging markets, security audits, and optional KYC to build trust. “User engagement can be boosted through educational tutorials and incentives, especially in emerging markets where financial inclusion is vital. Additionally, prioritizing audits and incorporating KYC options will build trust and ensure compliance,” the post stated.
Market data show the native token, PI, trading just under $0.19, rising about 5% over the past 24 hours. The Core Team recently added direct Pi payment setup in the Pi App Studio and a watch-ads option to deploy app iterations without spending Pi (Ed. note: settlements remain limited to Test-Pi).
The team also opened a feedback survey and will award 5 Pi token credits to the first 1,000 qualified participants for use in the Pi App Studio.
