Pi Coin Surges 17% After Chainlink Adds Real-Time Data Support

Chainlink added Pi Network to its Data Streams on April 13. The update appeared on Chainlink’s official X account. It confirmed the addition of 22 assets, including Pi Coin, JasmyCoin, Grass, and THORChain. The announcement aligned with a surge in Pi Coin’s price and broader adoption momentum across supported blockchains.

The integration allows real-time data access for Pi Coin. Chainlink Data Streams use a pull-based system for low-latency feeds. It combines off-chain aggregation with on-chain validation. This helps decentralized apps get updated price data quickly and securely.

The announcement marked Pi Coin’s entry into a group of supported assets that use Chainlink for reliable pricing feeds. This real-time data support could enable better access to liquidity and price feeds for dApps using Pi Coin.

Pi Coin Gains Access to Ethereum and Avalanche

Jatin Gupta, a Pi Network supporter and Web3 community builder, posted on X,

“PiNetwork is now supported by Chainlink Data Streams! This unlocks massive potential for Pi’s 60 million+ users in the DeFi space.”

Gupta explained that the integration lets Pi Coin operate across chains like Ethereum and Avalanche. These chains host many DeFi protocols. Pi Coin can now be used in cross-chain transactions. This adds new utility in lending, trading, and other decentralized use cases.

He also highlighted the benefit of real-time data in DeFi operations. Developers can use updated prices for asset tokenization or for tools that require fast market reactions. Chainlink’s system offers data accuracy and wide coverage.

Pi Ad Network Pilot Completes as Ecosystem Utility Expands

Pi Network completed the pilot phase of the Pi Ad Network this month. The team invited developers to apply for participation. The network allows apps to display ads and receive payments in Pi.

Initially, the team selected five community apps to test the system. They worked closely with developers throughout the pilot. Based on direct feedback, the team made adjustments to improve performance and ad integration.

In an official update, Pi Network described the Ad Network as “the first instantiation of a platform-level utility that leverages Pi Network’s collective resources to bring real, organic use cases to the Pi cryptocurrency.” The announcement confirmed that the pilot participants have started receiving ad revenue in Pi Coin.

However, access to the program remains selective. Only apps listed in the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface can apply. The team clarified that submitting an application does not guarantee approval. Developers must follow all guidelines and complete the full listing process to qualify.

Moreover, by launching this system, Pi Network expanded the utility of its token. Above all, the update followed recent steps to support developer monetization and increase engagement inside the Pi Browser.
