Pi Network (PI), a well-known cryptocurrency project, is pivoting to gaming to bring users back and restore confidence in its platform. After facing criticism and a sharp drop in token value, the team believes interactive games and useful apps can help revitalize its ecosystem. Pi Network To Start New Chapter Begins with Games On May 30, the Pi Core Team announced a new strategy. They want to use games to increase user activity and make the Pi token more useful in the real world. Their first step is the launch of FruityPi, a game now live on the Pi Browser. Players must drop and merge fruits into more significant, rarer ones in the game without overflowing the bin. The game shows how developers can build apps using Pi tools like the Pi Wallet, Pi Ad Network, and the Pi token, the currency used in the Pi ecosystem. It also highlights how developers can attract users by building on the Pi platform. Along with FruityPi, the team revealed that five new apps were added to the Pi Mainnet Ecosystem Interface. These include a snake-themed arcade game, two shopping platforms, an app that shares Pi token updates, and a tool for exploring crypto data. The Pi Network team noted that all these apps passed new function, utility, and legal compliance rules. This move is part of a broader industry trend where blockchain projects like Polygon use games and fun apps to drive user engagement and grow their communities. Pi Team To Support Builders Through Pi Network Ventures To support this new gaming push, the team is offering help to developers. If a project brings real adoption, it can apply for support from Pi Network Ventures, a $100 million fund created in April. This fund gives grants in Pi tokens and is part of a bigger plan to grow Pi’s real-world use. The tokens come from 10% of Pi’s total supply for developing the ecosystem. Community Worries Grow as Pi Token Drops Sharply This new pivot plan comes as Pi Network faces a lot of backlash. In recent months, community members have raised concerns about the Pi Network. Some users argued that the project lacks clear communication about its plans and may use significant events to hype the token and sell their own, accusing the project of running a rug-pull scheme. This loss of confidence in the project has hurt trust, causing the Pi token price to drop sharply over 16% in a week to $0.64, down 99.7% from its all-time high of over $200. However, the team hopes the new games and apps recently added will help bring users back and boost engagement on the Pi ecosystem. This comes as blockchain gaming is gaining traction .
