Pi Network Launches Ad Network, Boosting Developer Earnings 20%

Pi Network has launched the Pi Ad Network, a significant development aimed at enhancing developer earnings and fostering ecosystem growth. This new platform allows developers to monetize their applications by integrating in-app advertisements powered by Pi's ecosystem. Developers can now tap into Pi's active user base through the Pi browser, providing a new revenue stream and expanding their business opportunities.

The Pi Ad Network represents a strategic move by Pi Network to create a more robust and sustainable ecosystem. By enabling developers to earn revenue from in-app ads, the network encourages the creation of high-quality applications, which in turn attracts more users. This virtuous cycle is expected to drive the growth of the Pi ecosystem, making it more attractive to both developers and users.

The Pi Ad Network was first launched as a pilot with five community apps. It is now expanding to all Pi apps listed on the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface. Eligible apps that comply with all the requirements can now be part of the Pi Ad Network. However, applying does not guarantee approval as the apps still need to meet the Mainnet ecosystem listing requirements to be approved.

This upgrade helps in covering the rising costs of building and running meaningful apps that attract, retain, and serve the needs of Pioneers as the usage continues to grow. Developers can earn directly in Pi based on how much attention their apps get. Advertisers need to spend Pi to run ads which then goes to the developers. This helps in the overall development of the ecosystem as developers are rewarded in Pi, users are engaged and the Pi economy grows more robust.

The Pi Ad Network ensures that ads use Pi which enhances the coin’s real value. Developers will earn in Pi and are motivated to build better apps where Pioneers get can spend their Pi in more ways, benefiting the whole community. Pi Network will allow all developers whose apps are listed in its Mainnet Ecosystem to access and use the Pi Ad Network SDK (Software Development Kit). The eligible developers can now integrate ads into their Pi Apps in a consistent, secure, and user-friendly way through a unified framework.

Developers can easily apply through the Pi browser by accessing the developer portal, selecting their app, tapping “Dev Ad Network” on the app page, completing the ad checklist and submitting the form. The full guide is available in the portal.

The launch of the Pi Ad Network is part of a broader vision to build an inclusive Web3 ecosystem fueled by Pi, the leading cryptocurrency within the network. This vision encompasses various aspects of the decentralized web, including decentralized applications (DApps), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), and GameFi. The network's focus on these areas underscores its commitment to creating a decentralized digital economy that is not controlled by corporate entities or private interests.

The Pi Ad Network is expected to have a positive impact on the overall health of the Pi ecosystem. By providing developers with a new way to monetize their applications, the network encourages innovation and the creation of valuable content. This, in turn, attracts more users to the platform, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of growth and development.

The launch of the Pi Ad Network is a significant milestone for Pi Network, as it demonstrates the network's commitment to supporting its developer community and fostering the growth of its ecosystem. By providing developers with new tools and opportunities to monetize their applications, the network is positioning itself as a leader in the decentralized web space. As the Pi ecosystem continues to grow and evolve, it is likely to attract more developers and users, further cementing its position as a key player in the Web3 landscape.
