Meanwhile, the PI token continues to move sideways with little-to-no volatility.
A little over a week into the new year, the Core Team behind the Pi Network has published its first new update, which will allow developers to integrate Pi payments into their apps in less than ten minutes.
Despite this, the project’s native token failed to make any major moves in the past month, although the broader crypto market showed signs of recovery after January 2.
New update for Pi Network
A blog post from the team, published on Friday, revealed that they released a new developer library to reduce the process of putting together a Pi charger to less than ten minutes. The library stacks the Pi SDK with backend APIs into a single, streamlined setup, the team said, which aims to “drastically” reduce the amount of time needed to add payments to apps.
The post explained that simplifying payment integration will allow developers to spend more time creating and improving user products, which is in line with the project’s long-term strategy to “strengthen and expand the Pi-powered ecosystem where applications are functional, usable, and ready to be discovered in the real world.”
Initially, the update will support commonly used stacks, making the library immediately usable in many existing applications. Developers will be able to use JavaScript or React on the frontend, while backend support includes Next.js and Ruby on Rails.
After an eventful 2025, the team assured its community that it will continue building in 2026 and encouraged developers to do the same to extend services to users throughout the Pi ecosystem.
PI Price Stagnation
The cryptocurrency market is charting positive gains in the first week of the new year, with many altcoins rising by double digits. However, the native Pi Network token could not follow. It turned green again for a few days, but its move was below $0.22. It is now trading just below $0.21, which means there is no real movement on a daily, weekly, or monthly scale.
