Pi Sign-in allows supported third-party websites and apps to offer Pi accounts as a sign-in or sign-up option.

It helps provide the infrastructure that allows applications and services to recognize, connect, and serve users across and outside the ecosystem.

This means Pioneers can access supported services with their Pi account instead of creating a new account or password for every app.

Why would third-party services or websites want to integrate Pi Sign-in? Pi Sign-in creates a simpler way to connect them with Pi’s large user base and bring Pi users into their own product experiences. It also gives Pi more presence in third-party contexts while offering a way to tap into the additional benefits and resources of Pi Network, besides user traffic.

Contribute to Pi’s Ecosystem Ahead of Pi2Day 2026 with Vibe Coder Campaign and Launchpad Testnet Token

With Pi2Day 2026 right around the corner, Pioneers still have time to participate in two ongoing initiatives before they end on Sunday, June 28:

Join the vibe coder campaign and raffle to help bring more AI-created apps to Pi.
Test the SLICE Testnet token on Pi Launchpad along with the updated participation flow. Pi2Day has historically been an important moment for Pi Network ecosystem milestones, updates, and feature releases. Last year, Pi2Day introduced projects and major platform-level utilities around AI, Pi App Studio, and ecosystem engagement.

Vibe Coder Campaign: Help Bring More AI-Created Apps to Pi
Pioneers only have four days left to participate in the Vibe Coder campaign to help bring more AI-created apps to Pi, and enter the raffle for a chance to win Pi merch, including a Pi Network jacket and sweater, by introducing vibe coders (app creators using AI) to Pi’s real distribution network and utility ecosystem through Pi App Studio. Pioneers can participate by joining relevant online creator or developer communities on other social media platforms, contributing to these communities authentically, and sharing posts explaining how the Pi ecosystem is useful for builders who already have prototypes or working apps built through AI platforms for distribution of their apps and monetization opportunities.

Posts can point vibe coders to Pi App Studio, explain how easily externally created apps can connect with Pi, and highlight how Pi offers access to the ecosystem’s 60M+ engaged users and infrastructure with built-in payments, identity, and ads.

Then, submit the link to your post through the “Vibe Coder” button in the Pi mining app to join the raffle for Pi Network merchandise.

See the official rules and details here.

By helping more creators discover Pi, Pioneers can help expand the range of apps, tools, and services available in the Pi ecosystem. A stronger app ecosystem gives Pioneers more ways to use Pi, support useful products, and participate in real utility.Test the SLICE Testnet Token and Updated Flow on Pi Launchpad
Pi Launchpad recently released its second Testnet token, SLICE, along with an improved participation flow and updated model.

This second test token launch is designed to address issues identified by the first test launch and help Pioneers learn how Launchpad works in a safe Testnet environment (SLICE will never go on Mainnet). This also helps Pi collect useful data and community feedback to further improve the Launchpad product before a real Mainnet token launch. Pioneers are encouraged to try the SLICE test launch, engage with the connected Slice of Pi app, review the updated participation flow, and share feedback to help improve the updated Launchpad mechanism.

Here’s how to participate:

Open the Pi Browser and go to the Pi Launchpad app.
Review the test token and the issuing project. Try engaging with the Slice of Pi app before your commitment. Your engagement helps you assess whether the product is useful and worth your participation in its token launch.
Choose a commitment amount in Test-Pi and complete the payment flow to confirm your participation. The Launchpad will automatically calculate the related fair-access hold (Pi stake) and show the commitment, hold, and total before you confirm.
Engage with the Slice of Pi app before or after your commitment. Your engagement throughout the launch period may qualify you to receive a percentage bonus on the SLICE tokens you receive. Engagement can also help the project gather user feedback and validate its use case. Engaging and Growing the Pi Ecosystem Before Pi2Day
Pi2Day is a moment to engage with new product releases and gain insight into the direction and priorities of the network. This year, Pioneers also have a timely opportunity to take part in app utilities expansion, community growth, and ecosystem development feedback before the event on June 28.

Participate in the two initiatives now, and stay tuned for Pi2Day!

For some reason, many people will hate you for even trying to make the future better.

Stay focused on your vision, and don’t focus on comments or articles about you. Find good people around you that can give you valuable input instead.

*The Next Frontier of Quantum Innovation* isn’t just “bigger quantum computers”. It’s what happens when quantum stops being a lab demo and starts touching real systems: finance, comms, supply chains, and crypto.

Here’s where it’s heading:

1. *Post-Quantum Cryptography goes live*
The first wave is defensive. Quantum computers will break ECC and RSA eventually, so networks like Stellar, Ethereum, and likely Pi are migrating to NIST-approved algorithms like ML-DSA, Falcon, and SPHINCS+.

This is happening now:
- *2026*: Enterprise wallets on Stellar move to PQC via Soroban
- *2027*: All accounts get opt-in quantum-safe signers

The frontier here is making PQC fast and cheap enough for mobile and low-bandwidth environments. That’s why lattice-based and hash-based schemes are winning.

2. *Quantum-Safe Infrastructure for Institutions*
Banks, CBDCs, and payment rails can’t wait for “someday”. If a quantum attack hits a settlement layer, you get real financial disruption.

The next step is quantum-safe anchors, validators, and HSMs. Stellar’s roadmap is a blueprint: keep the same addresses, swap the signing keys underneath. Expect other L1s and enterprise chains to copy it.

3. *Quantum + AI for Discovery*
Beyond security, quantum computers could accelerate material science, drug discovery, and optimization problems that are infeasible classically. The unlock is hybrid systems: classical AI models calling quantum co-processors for specific sub-problems.

We’re not at “quantum replaces GPUs” yet. We’re at “quantum accelerates one 5% bottleneck that makes the whole pipeline viable”.

4. *Quantum Networking & Randomness*
Quantum key distribution and quantum random number generation are moving out of research labs. They give you communication that’s provably secure against eavesdropping, and randomness that can’t be gamed.

For crypto, quantum RNG could make validator selection and VRFs more robust. For Pi and other mobile-first chains, the challenge is making it work without specialized hardware.

---

*Why this matters for crypto and Pi specifically
If quantum arrives before crypto upgrades, you get account takeovers and validator key compromises. If crypto upgrades early, quantum becomes a non-event.

Stellar’s 3-stage plan is the clearest example: migrate enterprises first, then everyone else, then deprecate the old crypto. Pi, being built on Stellar tech, can follow the same path.
The real frontier is making that transition invisible to the end user. No new addresses, no lost balances, just a silent upgrade in the background.

Pi Network has over 60 million Engaged Pioneers.

For developers, that creates an important opportunity: How do useful apps get discovered by these millions of people on Pi?

Ecosystem Directory Staking was built to help answer that.

It is a decentralized way for Pioneers and businesses to actively support and promote the ranking of Pi apps and utilities in the Ecosystem Interface. Staking through this feature increases an app’s exposure to the Pi community, helping boost visibility within the ecosystem.

This feature provides a self-service avenue for developers and creators to use Pi to tap into the attention resource of Pi Network to acquire users.

As AI makes app creation easier and easier, the challenge shifts from building products to getting them in front of people.

Ecosystem Directory Staking improves ecosystem discovery, making it easier for developers and creators to connect with users, and easier for users to discover new apps.
