Pioneers Power $Pi Network App Studio With Over 7,900 dApps
In a recent blog post, $Pi Network announced that since the $Pi App Studio debut, Pioneers have developed more than 7,600 Chatbot apps and over 14,100 Custom apps. A total of approximately 34,800 people have worked on app creation, including projects that have not been published.
$Pi Network aims to make technology accessible to everyone and help users create new decentralized apps. Their ecosystem is growing quickly, featuring wellness apps like Healthy Life and fun projects such as FlapPi Bird and BLACKHOLE.
The $Pi App Studio started with the Pi2Day 2025 Ecosystem Challenge. This challenge has eight steps to help Pioneers utilize new tools, such as Ecosystem Directory Staking and enhanced Node features. Over 2.6 million people joined, and more than 761,000 completed all steps, earning special badges for their achievements.
At the same time, $Pi Network’s Ecosystem Directory Staking attracted 37.7 million $Pi tokens. This boosted more than 1,450 apps and involved 16,700 unique stakers. These numbers show that there is a growing need for utility and real-world value in the $Pi Network ecosystem, as community members actively test and promote the tools they help create.
Early Community Reaction Mixed for App Studio
The release of $Pi App Studio received criticism despite initial excitement. As CoinGape reported, some Pioneers were disappointed with the beta version because it had limited features. They wanted the option to edit customized apps beyond just chatbots. Woody Lightyear, an influential member of the community, shared these concerns on social media. He urged the $Pi Core Team to speed up updates and provide more advanced development tools.
However, Lightyear himself celebrated when his Healthy Life chatbot app was featured in the official $Pi App blog, underscoring the genuine opportunities $Pi Network provides for creators.
“OMG! The $Pi chatbot app I created, Healthy Life, using $Pi App Studio, was featured in the latest $Pi App blog article update. I'm screaming!!!!!!!!!”
Notably, $Pi App Studio is using AI tools and a no-code approach to help bring the $Pi Network's goal of mass participation to life. Thousands of dApps covering a wide range of topics, including productivity, education, health, and entertainment, have been created in a matter of weeks.
As $Pi Network improves its platform based on community feedback, we can see that the ecosystem is changing quickly. There are already more than 7,900 dApps live, and a global community of Pioneers is eager to innovate.
