Pi Network’s Mainnet Set for a Boom as AI App Creation Nears 10,000 Mark

Pi Network AI App Count Reaches 9120 On Pi2Day 2025 as Mainnet and Staking Tools Expand Pi Ecosystem

Written By : Kelvin Munene

Pi Network introduced over 9,120 AI-generated applications at the Pi2Day 2025 event,  developed using its no-code App Studio. This milestone marks a significant growth in app development on the platform, with 30 of these applications already operational on the mainnet. Some of the currently active apps include Map of Pi, Fruity Pi, CARE FOR PI, Link for Pi, and LatinChain Platform.

Users can develop domain-specific chatbots and custom apps, and then launch them across the Pi ecosystem. The system also enables creators to iteratively refine their applications based on user feedback, thereby ensuring utility and engagement.

Hard App Creation Limit Draws Frustration Amid Surging Interest

The total number is currently increasing; however, a point of concern was raised following a report by popular commentator Dr Altcoin that the App Studio may have had an upper limit of accepted applications at 8,430. Some participants in the Pi community challenged the limit, as they felt that developers would soon be rejected, regardless of the demand to construct a building.

This announcement raised suspicion concerning the platform's scalability, given that even new apps continue to launch. Pi Network has not confirmed a specific hard limit, but the growth rate suggests that the platform might outgrow 10,000 apps within the duration before constraints are tightened.

The recent increase in app development indicates that pioneers have a high level of interest in creating and contributing to the ecosystem with the help of AI tools.

Staking Feature and Ecosystem Expansion Drive Utility

The Ecosystem Directory Staking feature was introduced to promote Pi apps, engagement, and hiking visibility. By using this utility, Pioneers, and businesses will be able to stake Pi tokens on the mainnet and boost their favorite applications. 

This use of support influences the ranking of the app in the ecosystem interface, thereby allowing popular and well-maintained apps broader visibility. Despite the lack of protocol rewards, the application developers can add custom incentives to staking.

The App Studio release was accompanied by the Pi2Day Ecosystem Challenge, which encouraged users to explore the platform’s features through a structured interaction campaign. The event took place from June 27 to July 7, offering digital rewards to participants who completed specific engagement tasks.

Mainnet Migration, Onramper Integration, and .pi Domains Extended

Over 500,000 new users have been unblocked for Mainnet migration following system and KYC improvements. More than 13.7 million Pioneers have completed identity verification and transitioned to the mainnet, backing the objective of human-only participation in Pi. Also, the on-ramp service with Pi Wallet is currently available. By partnering with Onramper, a third-party on-ramp aggregator, Pioneers can connect with fiat on-ramp services, pending geographical availability.

The .pi Domains auction deadline has been extended to September 30, 2025, due to the expectation of increased uptake in metaverse domain names. With this, the app creators will have sufficient time to work on their projects and submit bids to obtain Web3-compatible domain names to complement their services.
