Pi Network has officially rolled out major upgrades to its Pi Launchpad alongside the release of its second Testnet token, SLICE.The updates are designed to fix high drop-off rates and confusion encountered during the testing of the platform's first experimental token, IRRA, which launched earlier in 2026.
The new "Commitment-First" framework directly targets the platform's user experience based on real Pioneer feedback.Key Upgrades to the Pi LaunchpadCommitment-First Flow: Staking Test-Pi and committing to a token allocation are now unified into a single action rather than two separate, confusing steps.
One-Screen Confirmation: Users can view and authorize both transactions simultaneously on a single interface screen.Fair-Access Hold Mechanism: This protocol automatically scales the mandatory holding requirements proportionally with the user's commitment size.
It is designed to prevent "whale dominance" and guarantee smaller Pioneers a fairer token allocation.Liquidity-Focused Structure:
#pi Unlike typical Web3 funding models, proceeds are directed toward building stable liquidity foundations rather than project treasuries to lower the risk of rug pulls.
The New SLICE Testnet TokenUtility-Linked:
The SLICE token is connected directly to a real, functional gaming application called Slice of Pi, which utilizes Pi payments and the Pi Ad Network.Real Utility Data:
By integrating SLICE with a working app, the Pi Core Team is collecting genuine engagement and usage metrics to optimize how the Mainnet Launchpad will operate.
Strictly for Testing:
SLICE is a Testnet-only token. It has zero monetary value and will never migrate to the Mainnet.Participation Deadline: Pioneers can interact with and test the SLICE token framework inside the Pi Browser until Pi2Day (June 28, 2026).
