Following the first major updates for 2026 introduced a few weeks ago, the team announced in its latest blog post the introduction of simple Pi payment integration directly within the Pi App Studio.

When deployed to Mainnet, creators can add payment interactions that apply to a single active session. Some examples include unlocking features or purchasing in-app items. Continued purchases during sessions are expected in future updates, the team said.

The first 1,000 qualified participants will receive 5 Pi token credits, which can be used exclusively within the App Studio to create and customize apps.
