Pi Network Expands Gaming Ecosystem with PiOnline DeFi Platform Launch

• Pi Network launched PiOnline, a new farming game with DeFi features and a dual-token economy on Pi Browser. 

• Through community-driven governance, the platform offers land ownership and 12.8% annual staking rewards. 

• Pi coin remains near all-time lows at $0.3439 despite ecosystem expansion and recent partnerships.

Pi Network has launched PiOnline, a decentralized finance gaming platform that marks another milestone in the blockchain project’s ecosystem development. The community-driven initiative combines farming simulation gameplay with integrated DeFi features, targeting Pi Network’s established user base of millions.

PiOnline Introduces Dual-Token Gaming Economy

The PiOnline platform features “Genesis Farm,” a farming simulation game on Pi Browser. Players engage with agricultural mechanics while participating in decentralized finance activities. The platform utilizes a dual-token system comprising PIOL tokens for governance decisions and SEED tokens serving as in-game currency.

Key features include virtual land ownership capabilities and annual staking rewards reaching 12.8%. The platform operates under a decentralized autonomous organization structure, ensuring community members maintain control over major decisions. Early participants receive complimentary land parcels and seed tokens to encourage rapid adoption.

Developers plan to introduce a battle royale mode before September concludes. This addition aims to create competitive gameplay elements beyond the farming simulation experience. According to project documentation, the virtual economy structure connects directly to real-world financial activities.

Gaming Strategy Drives User Engagement

Pi Network’s gaming focus builds on previous successes within the ecosystem. FruityPi launched as the network’s inaugural gaming project in May, demonstrating integration capabilities with Pi Wallet, Pi Ads, and the native cryptocurrency. The Pi Core Team consistently promotes gaming as a primary engagement driver for network participants.

Interactive mechanics, reward systems, and social competition elements increase user activity levels while strengthening practical cryptocurrency applications. Pi Network Ventures provides development funding opportunities for projects on the network infrastructure. The established community base offers immediate access to potential users for new applications.

The network recently reduced mining rates by 1.23% in September, extending the time required to mine individual Pi tokens beyond 15 days without bonuses. This modification increases token scarcity within the ecosystem.

Pi coin maintains trading levels around $0.3439, approaching historical low points despite ecosystem expansion efforts. The token recorded a modest 1.5% increase over the past week. Market performance remains subdued relative to development activities and partnership announcements.

Pi Network secured Gold Sponsor status for Token2049 Singapore, a significant Web3 conference expecting over 25,000 attendees in October. The network also established a listing partnership with Onramp Money, enabling direct Pi purchases through local payment methods across 60+ countries. Supported payment options include GCash, Maya, and Alipay services.
