Pi Network Targets $0.10 Price as Developer Capabilities and Documentation Launch

Pi Network has released new developer capabilities and improved documentation, aiming to make it easier for developers to build on its platform. The network introduced local storage support for whitelisted Pi Browser applications on September 4, allowing apps to retain preferences and session information directly on a Pioneer's device. However, storage remains limited, and information does not automatically follow users across devices.

The network also released a staking data API for whitelisted applications, which shows each user's effective stake through Ecosystem Directory Staking. Developers can now add native file and video sharing through the Pi.shareFile function, and Pi has consolidated scattered technical resources within one documentation hub. The hub covers registration, sandbox testing, authentication, payments, platform references, Mainnet preparation, and application launches.

Protocol 27, which entered Testnet 1 on August 21, is expected to launch on the Mainnet by September 15. The upgrade prepares smart contract authentication, RPC server infrastructure, and automated market maker liquidity pools. Pi describes it as the final planned infrastructure upgrade within the current roadmap.
