Meanwhile, the PI token continues to move sideways with little to no volatility.
Despite this, the project’s native token hasn’t made any major moves over the past month, even as the broader crypto market has shown rebound signals after January 2.
The new update of Pi Network
The team’s blog post, published announced on Friday that they have released a new developer library to reduce the Pi payment integration process to less than ten minutes. The library bundles the Pi SDK with backend APIs into a single, streamlined setup, the team said, which aims to “significantly” reduce the amount of time it takes to add payments to apps.
The post explains that simplifying payment integration will allow developers to spend more time creating and improving products for users, which aligns with the project’s long-term strategy to “strengthen and expand Pi’s utility-driven ecosystem, where apps are practical, usable, and ready for real-world adoption.”
Initially, the update will support commonly used stacks, making the library immediately usable for many existing apps. Developers can use JavaScript or React on the frontend, while backend support includes Next.js and Ruby on Rails.
After an eventful 2025, the team assured the community that it would continue building into 2026 and encouraged developers to do the same to expand tools for users across the Pi ecosystem.
PI price stagnation
The cryptocurrency market posted impressive gains in the first week of the new year, with many altcoins skyrocketing by double digits. However, Pi Network’s native token failed to follow suit. It was also in the green for a few days, but its movement was limited below $0.22. It is now trading just below $0.21, meaning there is no actual movement on a daily, weekly or even monthly scale.
