Pi Network Sees 21,000 Apps Live Post Pi2Day Launch

Pi Network’s ecosystem has seen remarkable growth, with over 21,000 applications now live on its platform. This achievement follows the launch of Pi App Studio during this year’s Pi2Day celebrations. The no-code, AI-assisted tool has enabled 34,800+ Pioneers to publish 7,600 chatbot apps and 14,100 custom apps, demonstrating the platform's potential for grassroots innovation.

Pi App Studio is designed to make app creation accessible to everyone. By leveraging AI-assisted workflows, users can build applications for various purposes, including games, wellness, and education, without any technical experience. Examples of community-built apps include “Pi-Tris” (a puzzle game), “Healthy Life” (a chatbot for wellness tips), and “BLACKHOLE” (an astronomy-focused assistant). However, Pi Network has clarified that it neither reviews nor endorses these apps, raising concerns over content quality and platform safety.

Another significant feature introduced during Pi2Day 2025 was the Ecosystem Directory Staking. This utility allows Pioneers to stake their Pi tokens to enhance an app’s visibility within the network. Over 37.7 million Pi were staked during the launch window, with more than 25 million Pi still active. Around 1,450 apps received support from 16,700 unique users, introducing a Web3-native method for community curation.

Despite the rising activity within the Pi ecosystem, the price performance of the Pi token continues to be a concern. The token has faced sharp volatility, dropping from above $0.47 on July 15 to lows below $0.435 on July 17. Short-lived intraday rallies on July 18 and 19 failed to hold, and by July 21, PI stabilized near the $0.45 mark. This instability reflects broader market skepticism about PI’s real utility and liquidity in its closed mainnet phase.

While Pi App Studio and developer events are drawing attention, traders remain cautious. The opacity of PI’s price movements, marked as “user-supplied” on CoinMarketCap with no confirmed exchange data, has made it difficult for external investors to assess the token’s value and growth prospects.

In summary, Pi Network’s community continues to show strong engagement, with tens of thousands of user-built apps and millions of tokens staked in support. Pi App Studio has opened new doors for non-tech builders in crypto. However, questions around long-term utility, app quality, and token value linger. As Pi prepares for future mainnet transitions, the pressure is on to convert momentum into measurable outcomes.
