Pi Network has introduced ecosystem tokens on its Mainnet roadmap, and the Core Team shared new details. Co-founder Chengdiao Fan explained the purpose and structure of these tokens in a recent video. The team confirmed that it will finalize the Mainnet launch after completing technical requirements.
Fan said the community creates these tokens and issues them directly on Pi infrastructure. She confirmed that developers already released the tokens on Testnet for early testing. However, the team is finalizing their deployment on Mainnet.
She stated that token design will define their long-term value and use. Fan said, “Tokens on most other crypto networks function primarily as tools to raise capital.” She added that many projects fail to deliver real utility despite raising funds.
She described this pattern as a structural problem within Web3 markets. Therefore, the Core Team designed these tokens to focus on product usage. Fan said Pi aims to connect token issuance directly to working applications.
She explained that projects will issue tokens to attract users to their products. At the same time, those tokens will serve clear utility functions inside the apps. As a result, users can access and use the tokens through structured launch programs.
Fan said the launch programs will give users full access to the new assets. She explained that projects will integrate tokens into real services and tools. Consequently, users will interact with tokens inside live digital products.
Fan stated that Pi Network wants to separate its model from traditional token launches. She said most networks prioritize capital formation over product development. In contrast, Pi encourages teams to build products before scaling token distribution.
She said, “Pi ecosystem tokens are not about copying existing token models.” She added that the team deliberately avoided standard fundraising structures. Therefore, developers must align tokens with user-driven applications.
Fan explained that startups often spend heavily to build user acquisition systems. However, she said Pi coin offers Web3 tools that reduce operational costs. These tools include token infrastructure and launch frameworks within the ecosystem.
She noted that developers can involve users directly in early-stage growth. At the same time, users can evaluate products through real usage. Fan said this structure allows users to hold projects accountable.
She explained that weak products will lose traction over time. Therefore, only functional services will retain active users within the ecosystem. Fan concluded that the token design will evolve as teams iterate in practice.
