PI Network推出了1億美元的風險投資基金，以啟動現實世界實用程序的生態系統

PI Network於5月14日正式推出了一項耗資1億美元的風險基金，旨在為其生態系統啟動現實世界實用程序時，主導了頭條新聞。

May 14 saw the unveiling of Pi Network Ventures, a $100 million venture fund focused on startups integrating with the Pi ecosystem. This initiative, announced by Pi Foundation, marks a significant pivot as the organization expands its footprint beyond the cryptocurrency domain.

5月14日，PI Network Ventures揭幕了，這是一項耗資1億美元的風險投資基金，專注於與PI生態系統集成的初創公司。 PI Foundation宣布的這項倡議標誌著該組織將其足跡擴展到加密貨幣領域之外，這是一個重要的樞紐。

The fund, structured in a manner similar to Silicon Valley investment firms, will prioritize blockchain startups along with those in sectors like fintech, generative AI, e-commerce, and social platforms.

該基金以類似於矽谷投資公司類似的方式構建，將優先考慮區塊鏈初創公司以及金融科技，生成AI，電子商務和社交平台等領域的初創公司。

However, despite the wide interest in cryptocurrency venture funds, investors reacted negatively to the announcement of Pi Network Ventures. This can be considered a classic "buy the rumor, sell the news" event as the Pi token dropped sharply after the reveal, which focused on startups and use cases that will form part of the Pi Network ecosystem.

但是，儘管對加密貨幣投資基金產生了廣泛的興趣，但投資者對PI Network Ventures的宣布產生了負面的反應。這可以被視為經典的“購買謠言，出售新聞”事件，因為PI代幣在展示之後急劇下降，該事件的重點是將構成PI網絡生態系統的一部分的初創企業和用例。

The initiative isn’t just about investment capital; it’s about integrating Pi into everyday use cases. According to the Foundation, the fund is designed to deliver strategic value and a long-term impact while favoring businesses that can extend Pi’s reach beyond its core crypto community.

該倡議不僅與投資資本有關；這是關於將PI集成到日常用例中。根據該基金會的說法，該基金旨在提供戰略價值和長期影響，同時有利於可以將PI覆蓋範圍擴展到其核心加密社區的企業。

“This initiative enables more of the world’s production onto Pi Network. It’s meant to get more real-world production processes, whether in the form of apps, transactions or companies, onto Pi by investing early on in startups and companies that create such processes,” a Pi Network spokesperson told crypto.news.

PI網絡發言人告訴Crypto.news，“這項計劃可以使世界上更多的生產進入PI網絡。無論是以應用程序，交易還是公司的形式獲得更多現實世界中的生產過程，無論是以應用程序，交易還是公司的形式，都可以在創建此類流程的初創企業和創建此類流程的公司中進行投資，” PI網絡發言人告訴Crypto.news。

“This moment marks a pivotal step forward for Pi—especially now that Open Network has launched and external connectivity is enabled—opening the door to more impactful utility creation and real-world integration.”

“這一刻標誌著PI向前邁出的關鍵一步，尤其是現在開放網絡已經啟動並啟用了外部連接 - 為更具影響力的公用事業創建和現實世界集成打開了大門。”

By investing in startups and businesses, many of which build, integrate, and innovate with Pi, and bring real-world utility to the network, Pi Network Ventures is laying the groundwork for a decentralized ecosystem that is globally accessible, community-driven, and economically meaningful.

通過投資於初創企業和企業，其中許多企業與PI建立，整合和創新，並將現實世界實用程序帶入網絡，PI Network Ventures為在全球範圍內易於訪問，社區驅動和經濟有意義的分散生態系統奠定了基礎。

To better understand what Pi Network Ventures means for developers, users, and the broader community, crypto.news interviewed a Pi Network spokesperson to explore how the fund will be structured, what kinds of projects are likely to be backed, and how the community will play a role in shaping the next chapter of Pi Network’s evolution.

為了更好地了解PI Network Ventures對開發人員，用戶和更廣泛的社區的意義，News採訪了PI網絡發言人，以探討該基金將如何結構化，可能會支持哪些項目，以及該社區將如何在塑造PI Network Evolution的下一章進化中發揮作用。
