Pi Network has rolled out two major updates to its Pi App Studio, introducing backend infrastructure support and an AI-assisted app planning feature aimed at helping creators build more advanced and engaging applications.
The announcement marks the latest effort to expand the Pi ecosystem by making app development more accessible while improving the functionality of apps built on the platform.
The first update adds backend support with persistent storage for newly created App Studio applications. This allows developers to save and retrieve user-specific data across sessions, enabling apps to remember user progress, preferences, and other information even after users leave and return.
According to Pi Network, the feature will help developers create richer, more continuous user experiences without requiring users to start over each time they reopen an application.
Meanwhile, the AI-assisted App Planning Phase will allow creators to use AI to refine their ideas, define app features, and develop a more complete project concept.
Pi said the new planning process is designed to guide creators from an initial idea to a structured application plan, making development easier for both experienced builders and newcomers with limited technical knowledge.
The enhancements build on Pi Network’s broader strategy to grow utility within its ecosystem.
Earlier this year, Pi App Studio added support for Pi payment integration, AI-powered app creation, and tools that allow developers to deploy applications built with external AI coding platforms.
Despite the product improvements, Pi’s token has remained under pressure, as investors continue to watch whether ecosystem expansion can translate into stronger adoption and long-term demand for the cryptocurrency.
Pi Network Has Fewer Than 10,000 Million-PI Wallets
Pi Network’s latest ecosystem upgrades come as new data shows that only a small number of users hold large amounts of PI.
According to blockchain data from PiScan, fewer than 10,000 wallets own at least 1 million PI. The data shows that 9,961 accounts hold between 1 million and 10 million PI, while 766 wallets hold between 100,000 and 1 million PI. Only 21 wallets have more than 10 million PI, making them the network’s largest holders.
The report also found that most Pi users own much smaller amounts. More than 80% of Pioneers, or over 14.5 million users, hold less than 10 PI.
The figures come a day after Pi Network upgraded Pi App Studio with backend support and AI-assisted app planning.
The new features allow developers to build apps that can save user data and use AI to help plan app ideas before development begins.
As Pi Network continues adding new tools for developers, the latest wallet data shows that large PI holdings remain limited, while most of the community holds relatively small balances.
