April 12, 2025 – Pi Network is turning heads again with the launch of its brand-new Pi Ad Network, a game-changing platform that allows developers to monetize their apps using crypto-powered in-app ads. In this bold move, developers can now earn Pi—not just attention—by integrating ads directly into their apps via the Pi Browser.
It’s a major step toward building a self-sustaining, decentralized economy, all within the Pi ecosystem.

A Win-Win for pi network Developers and the Pi Economy
Initially tested with five community apps, the Pi Ad Network is now rolling out to all eligible apps listed on the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface. Developers whose apps meet the required standards can apply through the developer portal in the Pi Browser. The process includes selecting their app, navigating to the “Dev Ad Network” section, completing a checklist, and submitting their application.
What sets this apart? All ad transactions are conducted in Pi, meaning advertisers pay in Pi and developers earn in Pi. This closed-loop system boosts utility, increases demand, and keeps value circulating within the Pi economy.
Incentivizing Innovation and Engagement
As user numbers grow, so do the costs of maintaining engaging and useful apps. The new ad network eases that burden, empowering developers to invest in better features and functionality—all while reaching Pi’s rapidly expanding user base of “Pioneers.”
With the Pi Ad Network SDK, integration is simple and secure. Developers can now add ads without relying on third-party platforms, giving them more control and direct access to crypto-based revenue.
Price Surge—and a Warning
Pi Coin is currently making headlines as one of the top gainers, rising over 24% to $0.7540. It’s seen a 40% gain in the last week alone, climbing to 31st by market cap at $4.5 billion.
But caution is warranted. A major token unlock of 10 million Pi is scheduled for April 18, which could introduce volatility and trigger a sell-off.
Still, with real-world utility like in-app ad monetization becoming a reality, Pi Network is clearly moving beyond speculation and toward becoming a functioning crypto economy.
