PI Network推出了1亿美元的风险投资基金，以启动现实世界实用程序的生态系统

PI Network于5月14日正式推出了一项耗资1亿美元的风险基金，旨在为其生态系统启动现实世界实用程序时，主导了头条新闻。

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，这是一项耗资1亿美元的风险投资基金，专注于与PI生态系统集成的初创公司。 PI Foundation宣布的这项倡议标志着该组织将其足迹扩展到加密货币领域之外，这是一个重要的枢纽。

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.

该基金以类似于硅谷投资公司类似的方式构建，将优先考虑区块链初创公司以及金融科技，生成AI，电子商务和社交平台等领域的初创公司。

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，尽管对加密货币投资基金产生了广泛的兴趣，但投资者对PI Network Ventures的宣布产生了负面的反应。这可以被视为经典的“购买谣言，出售新闻”事件，因为PI代币在展示之后急剧下降，该事件的重点是将构成PI网络生态系统的一部分的初创企业和用例。

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.

该倡议不仅与投资资本有关；这是关于将PI集成到日常用例中。根据该基金会的说法，该基金旨在提供战略价值和长期影响，同时有利于可以将PI覆盖范围扩展到其核心加密社区的企业。

“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网络发言人告诉Crypto.news，“这项计划可以使世界上更多的生产进入PI网络。无论是以应用程序，交易还是公司的形式获得更多现实世界中的生产过程，无论是以应用程序，交易还是公司的形式，都可以在创建此类流程的初创企业和创建此类流程的公司中进行投资，” PI网络发言人告诉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.”

“这一刻标志着PI向前迈出的关键一步，尤其是现在开放网络已经启动并启用了外部连接 - 为更具影响力的公用事业创建和现实世界集成打开了大门。”

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.

通过投资于初创企业和企业，其中许多企业与PI建立，整合和创新，并将现实世界实用程序带入网络，PI Network Ventures为在全球范围内易于访问，社区驱动和经济有意义的分散生态系统奠定了基础。

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.

为了更好地了解PI Network Ventures对开发人员，用户和更广泛的社区的意义，News采访了PI网络发言人，以探讨该基金将如何结构化，可能会支持哪些项目，以及该社区将如何在塑造PI Network Evolution的下一章进化中发挥作用。
