Pi Network Rolls Out Developer Updates Ahead of Summit

Pi Network has released four distinct updates covering app development, token tracking, AI-assisted software packaging, and identity verification ahead of its scheduled Nov. 17–19 Ecosystem Summit, according to CryptoNews. The network’s Oct. 29 announcement outlines changes aimed at developers building Pi applications, software publishers using SoloHost, and businesses seeking customer identity checks.

Developer Portal and App Configuration

Inside the Developer Portal, a dedicated App Configuration section has replaced the previous onboarding checklist. Developers can now manage domains, API keys, app wallets, and privacy information from a single area. Navigation has also been updated to provide clearer routes to services including Pi Sign-In, Ecosystem Listing, PiNet, and the Pi Ad Network, according to the team.

For developers bringing existing software to Pi Desktop, a new SoloHost skill accepts a public Docker image and helps prepare the files needed to submit an application. Supported coding assistants include Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

BlockExplorer and PiVerify Expansions

The Pi BlockExplorer has added a price-history feature covering Launchpad Testnet tokens such as SLICE, with values shown against Test-Pi. Public access to these charts does not require a Pi account or Pi Browser. Meanwhile, PiVerify has introduced face uniqueness checks to help businesses detect duplicate identities, alongside further liveness checks for customer verification.
