Pi Network invests in CiDi Games! Ignite the Web3 gaming revolution in Q1 2026.

Pi Network announced a strategic partnership with CiDi Games, a gaming platform dedicated to creating games integrated with Pi for tens of millions of Pi users. CiDi Games is developing an H5 gaming platform, which is planned to be tested in the first quarter of 2026, with Pi directly integrated into the games, becoming the core medium for payments, transactions, and incentive mechanisms within the platform.

The three core objectives of Pi Network's collaboration with CiDi Games

The collaboration between Pi Network and CiDi Games aims to expand the practical applications of Pi and further develop and support the gaming business within the Pi ecosystem. This collaboration is not just a simple technical integration, but a comprehensive ecosystem expansion strategy that encompasses synergistic effects on multiple levels.

The Three Core Objectives of Cooperation

Expand the practical application scenarios of Pi: Through the gaming industry, which is high-frequency and popular, transform Pi from a speculative asset into a daily payment tool.

Send a clear signal to developers: Pi is committed to large-scale game development, establishing a complete developer ecosystem, providing tools, APIs, and infrastructure.

Create new user engagement opportunities: Provide pioneering users with new daily usage and participation opportunities in Pi, enhancing network activity and actual transaction volume.

The natural compatibility of Pi with the gaming industry and its continuous development has laid the foundation for cooperation between both parties, complementing Pi's broader and more coordinated approach to ecosystem development. Games are social and interactive, possessing a virtual economy, and are a universal experience for humanity – we play games for entertainment. These elements mean that gaming is a vertical field with a sufficiently large market that can thrive within Pi's global social network.

The Pi Network has a large, verified human community that supports cryptocurrency and is always ready to engage in interactions and transactions; as well as an ecosystem with various tools that can support gaming applications, developers, and enterprises on a large scale. For example, the collaboration between Pi and CiDi Games creates a feedback loop where games can attract millions of Pi users, while the utilities and use cases created by developers, in turn, strengthen the Pi ecosystem through participation, production, and innovation.

Pi Network Ventures Investment Strengthens Ecosystem Strategy

The investment by Pi Network Ventures in CiDi Games further strengthens the cooperative relationship between the two parties. This investment aligns perfectly with the mission of Pi Network Ventures, while also providing opportunities for the CiDi Games team to grow. The CiDi Games team has rich experience and strong capabilities in game development and platform operations, and is committed to becoming the first Web3 game platform to achieve scalability and sustainable development, setting a new industry benchmark.

This cooperation also highlights the important role that Pi Network Ventures plays in Pi's broader ecosystem strategy. Through strategic investments in companies like CiDi Games, Pi Network is able to collaborate with experienced developers who focus on other industries, such as the gaming industry in this case. They can contribute independent application tools as well as provide platform-level expansions, thereby expanding the creative space for developers and pioneers on the Pi platform.

This is just an example of Pi's support for project diversification strategies, aimed at expanding the practical application value of the entire ecosystem—from grassroots development through Pi App Studio to high-value investments via Pi Network Ventures; from hackathons to incubators; from technical support like Pi SDK to ready-made business models like Pi Ad Network. Pi focuses not only on a single product or feature but also on the synergistic benefits brought by the collaborative development of various aspects within the ecosystem (such as pioneer participation, platform growth, and developer incentives).

Pi Network Ventures can collaborate with experienced founders and rapidly growing, disruptive companies whose work can solidify and expand the benefits that Pi Network Ventures brings to pioneering enterprises. The partnership with CiDi Games is a clear example, showcasing how collaboration can continue to accelerate the long-term vision of building a utility-driven, accessible ecosystem for Pi Network.

The Perfect Fit of Games and the Pi Network Ecosystem

Pi Network currently supports the gaming sector through methods such as hackathons, application incubation projects, pre-built tools, and monetization via Pi advertising networks. Pi has also launched FruityPi, a game that integrates Pi payment, Pi advertising network, and Pi wallet—this fully demonstrates how Pi's existing capabilities and platform-level tools support application development in a practical, sustainable, and inclusive way.

The collaboration between Pi and CiDi Games strengthens Pi's ongoing efforts to build a viable and self-sufficient gaming environment within the Pi ecosystem, elevating these efforts to a new level by expanding game integration, social interaction, and innovation throughout the network—creating new gaming and entertainment experiences in a Web3 environment.

By combining the global influence of Pi with the mature capabilities of CiDi Games in creating innovative games, these two organizations are laying the foundation for a new era of Web3 gaming—an era in which Pi will be at the core of fun, user-friendly, and meaningful digital experiences. Games are not just entertainment; they are a medium for social interaction, economic activity, and innovative expression, which perfectly aligns with the vision of Pi Network to build a utility-oriented ecosystem.

CiDi Games: Build H5 Game Platform Integrated with Pi

By combining CiDi Games' expertise in creating innovative games with Pi's global community and integrated platform, this collaboration will lay a solid foundation for expanding Pi's practical applications through gaming. CiDi Games is building a high-quality game library for the Pi ecosystem. The company is currently developing an H5 game platform, a lightweight HTML5 game center designed to provide an engaging casual gaming experience.

Pi will be directly integrated into CiDi Games' games, making it the core medium for payments, transactions, and incentive mechanisms within the platform. This deep integration means that Pi is not just a payment option, but the fundamental currency of the gaming economy. Players can use Pi to purchase game items, unlock levels, and participate in competitions, while developers can also earn revenue shares through Pi, forming a complete economic closed loop.

CiDi Games is also developing an open framework to expand the Pi platform. This framework provides other game developers with more tools, APIs, and infrastructure, making it easier for their games to integrate with Pi and establish a more unified gaming environment. This openness strategy will attract more third-party developers to join the Pi ecosystem and accelerate the development of the entire gaming sector.

Their product's initial version is scheduled for testing in the first quarter of 2026, with a focus on performance optimization, implementation of user feedback, and ecosystem coordination. This timeline indicates that the team is taking a pragmatic development strategy, prioritizing product quality and user experience over rushing to launch an inadequately tested product.

Q1 2026 Testing Plan and Future Outlook

Pi Network and CiDi Games will continuously share the latest developments during the development process. So far, this collaboration marks an important step for Pi in expanding its application range and unleashing gaming potential, making it a powerful engine for driving ecosystem development. The testing phase in the first quarter of 2026 will be a key milestone for this collaboration, at which point the community will be able to personally experience the deep integration of Pi and gaming.

The success of this collaboration will bring multiple benefits to the Pi Network: first, games as a high-frequency application scenario will significantly increase Pi's transaction volume and circulation speed; second, a high-quality gaming experience will attract more users to join the Pi ecosystem; third, successful cases will encourage more developers to create applications for Pi, forming a virtuous cycle.
