The team behind Pi Network has remained consistent in its efforts to expand the ecosystem and strengthen the community through new initiatives and upgrades.
PI’s price has finally staged a decisive rebound, mirroring the bullish conditions of the broader crypto market following the peace deal between the USA and Iran.
What Happened Lately?
The Core Team has been quite active lately, completing major milestones on several fronts. At the start of the month, they disclosed the successful transition to protocol v24, an upgrade primarily focused on improving the underlying infrastructure supporting node operations and mainnet activity.
Most recently, Pi Network updated the participation and flow model for the Pi Launchpad, allowing Pioneers to test a second token called “SLICE” for two weeks. The platform is designed to help new projects grow and reach the community. It uses insights gathered from the first testnet token that began testing on PiDay 2026 (March 14).
The team revealed that more than 478,000 Pioneers participated in the initial Launchpad testing and “generated valuable feedback on the Launchpad mechanism.” It also detailed the steps for those who wish to join. They must open Pi Launchpad in Pi Browser, review the SLICE test token and project, choose a commitment amount in Test-Pi, confirm participation, and finally engage with the Slice of Pi app and provide feedback.
In addition to these efforts, Pi Network also made progress in the gaming sector. As CryptoPotato reported, CiDi Games (an entity part of the ecosystem) released four new games for Pioneers. Those include Coin Whack, Fruit Stack, Gemnova, and RainbowCubes. Earlier today (June 15), one X user revealed that CiDi Games had reached a milestone of over 6 million PI staked in its ecosystem and hinted at an announcement of a new game next week.
Waiting for These
Pi Network’s next big update appears to be the transition to protocol v25. The team initially set June 18 as the completion deadline but later clarified that it might need more time, indicating a likely delay.
Another highly anticipated event in the Pi Network community is Pi2Day, celebrated on June 28 (6/28) because it represents the mathematical constant 2π.
Speculation is mounting that the team may announce a major ecosystem update, launch new features, or even a listing on Binance. However, nothing is confirmed, and we’ll have to see whether the day will bring anything meaningful at all.
PI Price Outlook
Earlier this month, PI’s price crashed below $0.12, marking the lowest level in its history. Over the past few days, though, it has followed the broader crypto market’s resurgence and now trades at around $0.14, representing a 4% weekly increase.
The bulls are now hoping for a further rally, which will largely depend on whether Bitcoin (BTC) and the leading altcoins can sustain their positive momentum. Meanwhile, the reduced token unlocks and some other important factors also suggest that PI’s valuation may post additional gains in the near future.
