Pi Network’s Ad Network is now open to all ecosystem dApps

This means that developers whose apps are listed on the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface can now apply to integrate ads and begin earning revenue directly in PI coin.

Pi Network’s (PI) Ad Network is now open to all ecosystem dApps, giving devs a new revenue stream through in-app advertising. This integration is part of a broader initiative by Pi Network to foster a vibrant and self-sustaining ecosystem of dApps and services.

As the network expands, it faces the challenge of increasing the demand for its token, PI. To do so, the team is unveiling several avenues for developers and dApps to generate income and value directly within the Pi blockchain.

Earlier this week, the network announced that its Ad Network is open to all ecosystem-listed Pi apps. This means that developers whose apps are listed on the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface can now apply to integrate ads and begin earning revenue.

This integration will enable advertisers to create and fund advertising campaigns directly on Pi Network, facilitating transactions using the PI token. By enabling Pi-based advertising transactions, it creates a circular economy: advertisers spend PI to reach users, and developers earn PI in return for user engagement.

The Pi Ad Network was initially piloted with five community apps earlier this year.

This development follows another even bigger update. Just days before this announcement, Pi Network integrated with decentralized oracle provider Chainlink (LINK).

This integration will bring Pi Network closer to enabling apps that rely on accurate, real-time data, such as DeFi apps, prediction markets, and blockchain games. As more apps are developed, the demand for Pi increases, as users will need Pi to interact with these applications. For instance, if DeFi apps are built on Pi Network, activities like lending, staking, trading, and liquidity protocols will require users to deposit or use PI, which will reduce the circulating supply, creating scarcity and driving up the token’s value.

Then, the Ad Network will further amplify this growth. As more apps are built, developers can earn not just through their services, but also by hosting ads. Advertisers must buy PI to pay for those ads, which increases demand for the token and drives more utility across the ecosystem.

The daily chart is already showing some early signs of a potential trend reversal after a prolonged downtrend. Most notably, PI price is attempting to stabilize and push above key moving averages.

This crossover of price above the SMA suggests that short-term sentiment is beginning to shift.
