Pi Network is exploring how stablecoins can support additional utility across the Pi ecosystem while maintaining a distinct, complementary role to Pi. Read the new blog in the Pi mining app to learn about: - Pi’s approach to stablecoins - How stablecoins may help expand participation within the ecosystem - Why their implementation requires careful design And how the OUSD partnership can fit into Pi’s broader stablecoin strategy.

Pi Network is partnering with @openstandard, the company powering Open USD (OUSD), a partner-governed stablecoin designed as open infrastructure! Open Standard brings together more than 200+ partners across payments, finance, technology, and crypto, including Visa, Google, and Stripe. OUSD is designed with an incentive model focused on supporting ecosystem growth, and Pi will explore rewards programs for Pioneers and broader utility across the Pi ecosystem. Look forward to more details about this partnership.

SoloHost updates have been released alongside Pi Desktop version 0.6.3! This improves app discovery, reliability, and developer tools. Pioneers can more easily discover actively used SoloHost apps. Reliability improvements and developer resources, such as AI agents compatibility, also support the building and troubleshooting of apps. These updates further support SoloHost’s role in extending the utility of Pi Desktop and Nodes beyond blockchain infrastructure, giving Pioneers more ways to use their computers for self-hosted apps and developers more tools to build and bring apps into SoloHost. Learn more in the Pi app!

SoloHost gives Pioneers more ways to use their computers for local AI and easier access to other self-hosted applications, further extending the utility of Pi Desktop and Nodes beyond blockchain infrastructure. OpenClaw and the Atlassian MCP Server show how SoloHost can support different types of self-hosted software for different user needs, from local AI agents to more specialized developer utilities. Through SoloHost, people can benefit from AI while keeping more of their data and computation on their own devices and reducing reliance on third-party remote infrastructure.

OpenClaw and the Atlassian MCP Server are now featured in SoloHost on Pi Desktop, expanding the range of self-hosted tools users can run locally. OpenClaw offers a more contained local AI setup with streamlined installation, while the Atlassian MCP Server supports AI-integrated Jira workflows for professionals through a locally run connection. Go to the Pi mining app to learn more about both apps and how SoloHost expands the utility of Pi Desktop and Nodes beyond blockchain infrastructure by bringing new AI and developer tools into the Pi ecosystem.
