The Pi Network ecosystem has entered a new preparation phase. Community updates indicated that the official domain distribution and claim process has begun. The move allows companies and institutions building within the Pi ecosystem to secure digital domains before the network’s broader launch. The update follows recent changes to the domain management interface. Which now includes features such as statistics, auction tracking and notification settings. Together, these steps suggest backend readiness rather than a public-facing launch.
Domain Claims Signal Infrastructure Preparation
According to community posts, the domain claim process is now live for eligible ecosystem participants. This applies mainly to businesses, developers and institutions planning applications or services on Pi Network. The updated domains section allows users to browse active auctions, manage claimed domains and adjust alerts related to domain activity
These tools aim to streamline ownership management and reduce conflicts once applications go live. While domain systems existed in earlier test phases, this marks the first structured distribution tied directly to launch preparation. However, Pi Core Team has not yet released an official timeline for when claimed domains will become fully active on Mainnet.
Integration Planned Through Pi App Studio
Community moderators clarified that claimed domains can later be linked to applications through Pi App Studio. Once collected, domain owners receive options to connect domains directly to their apps. This approach suggests a controlled rollout. Domains are reserved first. App integration follows after the network stabilizes. Smart contract linking is expected after launch. Some users asked how long the process would take. Community responses suggested the aggregation phase would be quick. However, these statements remain informal and yet to be confirmed by the core development team.
Testnet Activity Resumes Amid Mixed Reactions
The domain update comes as Pi Network’s Testnet 2 activity resumed after a brief disruption earlier this month. Community members reported that blocks began processing again following transaction file resets and API changes. Not all reactions were positive. Some users criticized the announcement, arguing that the team reintroduced existing features without making major changes. Others questioned whether the updates materially advance the project toward launch. Despite the debate, Testnet activity suggests ongoing internal testing rather than a pause in development.
Ecosystem Activity and KYC Progress Show Backend Momentum
At the same time, trusted ecosystem updates point to broader operational progress. Community-linked sources reported that Pi Network commerce activity took place during a recent global holiday event. With users spending Pi for real-world purchases. In addition, system upgrades reportedly unlocked more than 1.2 million users who had previously stalled in the KYC process. While the team allowed another 250,000 to resubmit applications. These updates suggest continued backend scaling as the Pi Network prepares infrastructure for a larger verified user base. However, despite growing participation and ecosystem activity. The Pi core team has not announced a confirmed Mainnet launch date or changes to Pi’s official market status

Pi Network PIRC baseline protection mechanism sparks controversy, implying a “quasi-stablecoin” logic
Pi Network member Daniel F raised a logical contradiction in the PIRC token design, noting that if it has a 23.8% floor protection, it would need to behave like a stablecoin, which conflicts with its high volatility on CEX. This floor is based on Pi’s price calculations; if Pi itself fluctuates significantly, it will be unable to effectively protect holders. Daniel emphasized the importance of transparency, but the project team did not respond to it, leading the community to continue speculating about the reasons for its silence.
