Pi Network update: More apps, smoother account recovery for Pioneers

Pi Network has introduced two major updates aimed at enhancing user experience and accelerating ecosystem growth. The first one involves the addition of five new community-developed apps to its Mainnet Ecosystem Interface. These apps, including a snake game, e-commerce platforms, and Pi information tools, have passed stringent standards related to functionality, utility, and compliance.

While these listings showcase only a curated selection of apps that meet the network’s guidelines, they aim to set a high benchmark for future developers, encouraging broader innovation and adoption.

The second update introduces a new account recovery flow. The users, also called pioneers, who have linked a trusted email can now receive a password reset link via email, an alternative to traditional recovery methods. This feature is designed to improve accessibility and reliability, particularly in regions with limited telecom infrastructure, while reinforcing user security and participation.

Together, these updates reflect Pi Network’s continued focus on expanding real-world utility and fostering a robust developer ecosystem.

The Pi Network's native token is listed on several centralised cryptocurrency exchanges including OKX, Gate.io, Bitget, BitMart, MEXC Global, and DigiFinex, but it is not currently listed on major exchanges like Binance or Coinbase.

The Pi Network launched its "Open Network" on February 20, 2025, moving from a restrictive phase to a wider phase, thus allowing users to carry out transactions with other platforms. The transition boosted the overall usability and potential monetary gains for Pi Network investors.

As per Pi Network, its six-year journey to an "Open Network" has been built on milestones and deliberate phases driven by users or pioneers, the ecosystem, and the community. Since 2021, the company has launched its enclosed network, which has now paved the way for an open network.
