Pi Network continues expanding its application ecosystem with two notable developments: the successful distribution of its second Launchpad testnet token, SLICE, and the arrival of STEPN PI on Pi Browser. Together, the updates highlight ongoing efforts to strengthen the network’s developer ecosystem while giving users additional opportunities to interact with decentralized applications before mainnet deployment.
The announcements come as Pi Network continues refining its Launchpad platform and encouraging developers to build applications that can eventually become part of the broader Pi ecosystem.
Pi Launchpad Completes Second Testnet Token Distribution
The Pi Core Team announced that Pi Launchpad has completed the distribution of SLICE, making it the second token launched through the platform’s testnet environment.
Following the distribution, users can now explore several new post-launch features within the Launchpad application inside Pi Browser. These include individual token allocation details, launch pricing, effective token pricing, access to the SLICE liquidity pool, and a live price tracking chart that measures SLICE’s value relative to Test-Pi.

The new price tracking functionality is designed to help users better understand how liquidity pools influence token pricing after launch. Rather than simply receiving tokens, participants can now observe price movements and gain practical experience with decentralized liquidity mechanisms within Pi Network’s testing environment.
The Launchpad continues to serve as an experimental platform where developers can launch and test token-based projects before any potential transition to the main ecosystem.
STEPN PI Brings Move-to-Earn Experience to Pi Browser
In a separate announcement, the STEPN PI development team revealed that its Move-to-Earn application is now accessible through Pi Browser.
According to the project, users can access the application directly by entering its web address inside the Pi Browser. The developers also confirmed that the application has already been submitted for inclusion in the official Pi Ecosystem and is currently under review by the Pi Core Team.
If approved, STEPN PI would become another community-built application expanding the range of services available to Pi users. The project aims to introduce a Move-to-Earn model that rewards users for physical activity while operating within the Pi Network environment.

The development team described the browser launch as an early milestone and said it remains focused on building a healthy and active ecosystem for Pi users. While the application is already accessible through Pi Browser, its official ecosystem listing will depend on the outcome of the ongoing review process.
These latest developments demonstrate Pi Network’s continued emphasis on ecosystem growth rather than focusing solely on the native Pi cryptocurrency. The combination of Launchpad token experimentation, liquidity pool education, decentralized application development, and new community projects suggests the network is steadily expanding its infrastructure as more developers build applications for future adoption.
Although both initiatives are currently centered on the testnet and ecosystem development stages, they reflect Pi Network’s broader strategy of creating practical blockchain applications that can support a growing user base as the platform continues to mature.
