Pi Network Drops 4 Major Developer Updates Ahead of Its Ecosystem Summit

Dextape brief

By Dextape Desk · October 31, 2026

The team behind Pi Network released four technical updates for developers and businesses, covering the Developer Portal, Pi BlockExplorer, SoloHost and PiVerify. According to a post published earlier this week, the redesigned Developer Portal groups domains, API keys, app wallets and privacy settings into one App Configuration section, simplifying navigation to services like Pi Sign-In and the Ad Network. The BlockExplorer change shows historical price data for Launchpad Testnet tokens such as SLICE against Test-Pi. The team said these assets will never move to Mainnet, so the feature mainly serves testing and education. A new SoloHost skill lets AI coding assistants generate configuration files for apps headed to Pi Desktop, and PiVerify added face-uniqueness and liveness checks for outside businesses.

Why it matters: The updates give developers simpler app setup and new identity checks for outside businesses, which may lower barriers to building on Pi ahead of its ecosystem summit.
