Gate News, Pi Network has launched a brand-new RPC server on its testnet, providing developers with standardized tools to directly interact with the network. This technical update allows developers to test and simulate before smart contracts are officially deployed, improving the security and efficiency of application development, and it also marks Pi Network’s shift from the mining stage toward practical features and an active ecosystem.
The new RPC server can be accessed via standard endpoints, supporting developers in using common tools to send requests and retrieve network responses. With this capability, developers can check network status in real time, test transaction flows, and run smart contract simulations before go-live. This not only reduces development risk but also improves the quality of applications built on Pi Network.
This update suggests that Pi Network is gradually moving toward full smart contract support. Developers now have a testing environment to fix issues and optimize their projects before release, thereby accelerating the development of payments, decentralized applications, and digital services. This step brings the network closer to real-world use while boosting developers’ confidence.
For the ecosystem, the rollout of the RPC server may attract more developers to Pi Network, driving the emergence of new applications such as wallets, marketplaces, and financial tools. As development activity increases, Pi Network is expected to progressively build a functionally complete digital economy system, enabling users not only to earn tokens but also to use them in everyday applications.
Community feedback has been overall positive, but some users still remain concerned about migration delays and KYC verification. Despite ongoing challenges, the launch of the RPC server lays the groundwork for future features and applications, signaling that Pi Network is steadily moving toward a fully usable blockchain platform.

Pi Network price hits a new 7-week low as a wave of 60 million token unlocks comes in
Pi Network's native token PI fell to $0.165 in April, hitting a 7-week low and leaving market sentiment weak. The unlock peak will release more than 60 million PI, adding downward pressure. Despite the core team recently publishing technical updates, it failed to improve market confidence and instead drew community criticism due to KYC access issues and the ongoing slide in price. Increased future supply could further drive prices lower.

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.
