Pi Network Announces Major Update to .pi Domains: Focus Shifts to Utility and Web3 Development



June 2025 marks a significant milestone for the Pi Network ecosystem as the team officially announced a major upgrade to the .pi domains initiative. With a clear shift from domain speculation to practical Web3 application, the latest announcement introduces new features, developer-focused, and an upgraded bidding system to encourage real-world use of .pi domains.

New Standalone .pi Domains App Launched


In a move to enhance user experience, Pi Network has separated the domain auction platform from the Pi wallet. The new .pi Domains App now operates as an independent Pi App, streamlining the bidding process and making it easier for users to participate in auctions. A standout feature of the new app is a live auction statistics dashboard. Users can now view real-time data on top bids, highest domains, and emerging trends. This transparency aims to improve the auction’s competitiveness while allowing users to make more informed bidding decisions.

To keep participants better informed, Pi Network is rolling out in-app email notifications where bidders will receive updates on outbids, winning status, and important auction events. Moreover, the app’s interface has been optimized for ease of use, ensuring that even newcomers to Web3 can navigate the platform and place bids with minimal friction.
 

Combating Domain Squatting: A Focus on Real Use Cases


The announcement also addresses a growing concern—domain squatting. Early data showed that many users were bidding on brand names, generic words, and high-demand terms without plans to develop them. To counter this, Pi Network emphasized that .pi domains are meant to function as Web3 digital identities. These domains should host functional apps, such as decentralized stores, blogs, and services, rather than being held passively or flipped for profit. The team stated their commitment to maintaining the integrity and utility of the domain space.

One of the most exciting aspects of the announcement is the reveal that developer toolkits are currently in development. These tools will include: App-building frameworks
Smart contract templates

Integration features for easy launch


These resources aim to help domain owners quickly deploy Web3 apps and services, thereby boosting engagement and utility within the Pi ecosystem.

What This Means for the Future of Pi Domains


With the release of the new app and upcoming toolkits, Pi Network is clearly signaling a long-term vision of being the gateway to a decentralized web. The platform is encouraging pioneers not just to own digital assets but to build real applications that power the Pi economy. This strategic pivot from speculation to sustainable utility could position Pi Network as a key player in the next wave of Web3 innovation.
 

Wrapping it Up!


The Pi Network’s recent announcement is a decisive step toward creating a functional Web3 ecosystem. As the bidding becomes more transparent and development tools become available, it could help the pioneers to think beyond ownership and toward contribution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


1. Is there a future for Pi Network?

Yes, Pi Network has a growing global user base and a developer ecosystem that continues to build decentralized apps (dApps) within its enclosed mainnet. While it’s still in the pre-launch phase for open mainnet, recent updates including KYC progress and regional policy developments suggest the project is actively moving forward. However, its future success depends on decentralization, regulatory clarity, and whether it can deliver real-world use cases.

2. What is the latest Pi Network news today?

As of June 2025, the latest Pi Network news highlights include regulatory developments in Vietnam, home to over 50% of Pi nodes, as well as ecosystem updates regarding node decentralization and KYC upgrades. Addtionally, Pi network is slated to unlock 248M PI tokens (~$149M) next month..

3. Is Pi Network listed in India?

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

Multi-Modal Data

Multi-Task Federated Split Learning Across Multi-Modal Data with Privacy Preservation With the advancement of federated learning (FL), there is a growing demand for schemes that support multi-task learning on multi-modal data while ensuring robust privacy protection, especially in applications like intelligent connected vehicles. Traditional FL schemes often struggle with the complexities introduced by multi-modal data and diverse task requirements, such as increased communication overhead and computational burdens. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme for multi-task federated split learning across multi-modal data (MTFSLaMM). Our approach leverages the principles of split learning to partition models between clients and servers, employing a modular design that reduces computational demands on resource-constrained clients. To ensure data privacy, we integrate differential privacy to protect intermediate data and employ homomorphic encryption to safeguard client m...

Satellite Communications

3D printed and circularly polarized 28 GHz patch antenna array for small satellite communications This paper presents the design, fabrication, and testing of a high-gain compact 2 × 2 circularly polarized patch antenna array using 3D printing technology for small satellite 5G communication at 28 GHz. The proposed antenna demonstrates high efficiency and a low profile, addressing the limitations in design flexibility associated with traditional PCB fabrication methods . The 2 × 2 array configuration, incorporating via fences, coaxial vertical feedlines, and a sequentially rotated phased feed network, enhances the antenna's bandwidth and axial ratio bandwidth while maintaining compactness, crucial for space-constrained satellite applications. Simulations optimized key antenna parameters, including reflection coefficient , gain, and axial ratio. Measurement results validated the simulations, showing an impedance bandwidth of 6.8 GHz and an axial ratio bandwidth of 3.1 GHz, with a ...
