As initially announced on Pi2Day, the Pi Wallet now integrates Onramper, a third-party, KYB-verified on-ramp aggregator that simplifies on-ramp services for Pioneers. This integration offers a streamlined way to participate in the Mainnet ecosystem! Onramper can be accessed through the Pi Wallet where Pioneers can choose from available KYB-compliant on-ramp services and utilize the one they prefer, subject to each on-ramps’ regional availability and other restrictions. Note: the only KYB-verified on-ramp partners are Onramp. money, Transfi and Banxa.

Reminder: the .pi Domains Auction deadline is extended to September 30, 2025 in order to provide Pioneers more time to innovate, build functional apps, and bid for .pi Domains for their apps. https://youtube.com/shorts/4JDbLzXHGFE

Remember you can voluntarily choose to lock up your Pi to boost your mining rate! The Lockup will be immediately binding until your duration ends. https://minepi.com/blog/pi-lockup/

Locking up your Pi helps support a healthy ecosystem and incentivize long-term engagement with the network. You can set your pre-migration Lockups (if you haven’t migrated to Mainnet) via the “Mainnet” tab in the Pi app menu. You can set your post-migration Lockups, which enables up to a 200% Lockup, in the Pi Wallet.

Creating apps through Pi App Studio means you are able to own and run a business and product built entirely around your knowledge and ideas, which is made possible through the use of AI and supported by the blockchain ecosystem of Pi.
