Sun Mar 16 00:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Pi Network Celebrates Pi Day 2025 with Ecosystem Expansion and New .pi Domains

**San Francisco, CA – March 14, 2025** – Pi Network, a cryptocurrency project with over 60 million Pioneers, is celebrating Pi Day 2025 by announcing significant advancements in its ecosystem, fueled by the recent launch of its Open Network. The network’s expansion includes the introduction of .pi domains, a new platform-level utility designed to enhance the usability of Pi cryptocurrency and boost local commerce.

The launch of .pi domains allows users to register custom domain names within the Pi ecosystem, providing businesses, developers, and individuals with recognizable online identities. Similar to traditional domains, .pi domains facilitate easy navigation and branding but are uniquely integrated with the Pi Browser and operate within a Web3 environment. Acquisition is exclusively through a blockchain-based auction using Pi cryptocurrency, driving direct utility for the coin and leveraging the network’s substantial user base. The auction’s proceeds will be reinvested into the Pi ecosystem.

In conjunction with the .pi domain launch, Pi Network is hosting PiFest 2025, a global event encouraging the use of Pi in local commerce. Over 100,000 merchants are registered, with 49,000 actively using the Map of Pi app to connect with customers. The event runs from March 14th to 21st, encouraging community engagement and showcasing Pi’s real-world applications.

Further supporting the growing ecosystem, Pi Network has also simplified the app development and deployment process. Developers can now directly apply to list their Mainnet apps on the Pi Browser’s Ecosystem Interface, streamlining the process and encouraging greater participation. The interface itself has also been redesigned for improved user experience.

Pi Network expressed confidence in its network’s future, highlighting the community’s strength and resilience in building a platform with tangible value and real-world applications. The company believes that continued focus on utility and community collaboration will overcome future challenges.
