Pi Network, a well-known cryptocurrency project, is shifting its focus towards games to rebuild trust and attract users. The initiative comes as the network faces scrutiny after a significant drop in its token value. 🎮 📈 📉
Pi Network has launched FruityPi, a game available on their Pi Browser that allows users to merge fruits into more valuable ones. This demonstrates how developers can utilize Pi tools like the Pi Wallet and Pi Ad Network for app development.
The project’s new strategy also includes five new apps added to the Pi Mainnet Ecosystem Interface: a snake-themed arcade game, two shopping platforms, an app that provides token updates, and a tool for exploring crypto data. These developments aim to demonstrate the utility of the Pi token in real-world applications. 🌐
To support developers on this endeavor, Pi Network Ventures has been launched with $100 million in funding, offering grants in Pi tokens. This fund is designed to foster continued growth and development within the Pi ecosystem.
Concerns have arisen regarding the project’s transparency after a substantial drop in the Pi token price. Users voiced anxieties about lack of clear communication and potential manipulation by those running the network. 🎙️
However, the team hopes these new initiatives will boost user engagement and rebuild trust. This strategy aligns with broader industry trends like Polygon’s use of gaming and fun apps to enhance community involvement. 🤝
