Pi Wallet Adds Onramper While PiCash Expands Ecosystem Utility

The Pi Network has taken another step toward expanding its ecosystem with a key infrastructure upgrade. On August 7, the Pi Core Team announced the integration of Onramper into the Pi Wallet. Onramper is a third-party, Know Your Business (KYB)-verified on-ramp aggregator. It allows users to convert fiat into crypto using regional services in a compliant and user-friendly manner.

This integration streamlines access to the Mainnet for Pioneers, the platform’s global community. Users can now select from KYB-compliant on-ramp providers, Onramp.money, Transfi, and Banxa, within the Pi Wallet. Each service comes with region-specific availability and rules. However, all maintain regulatory standards, ensuring safer participation in the Pi ecosystem.

The move follows Pi Network’s focus on reducing friction in crypto adoption, particularly in emerging markets. It also aligns with its long-term vision of enabling seamless Mainnet engagement for millions of users worldwide.

PiCash Builds Real-World Use Cases

While Pi Wallet improves entry into the ecosystem, PiCash is working on making Pi usable in everyday life. PiCash, a mobile platform within the Pi ecosystem, supports features such as QR payments, online shopping, phone top-ups, and apartment management. It also connects users to services like PiLife and the PiCash Marketplace, aiming to enhance daily convenience through Web3 integration.

The platform is pushing to bridge the gap between digital assets and real-world utility. With payment infrastructure reaching offline stores and delivery services, PiCash is setting a use-case standard among Layer 1 blockchain communities. PiCash also introduced a hardware wallet built into a smart card. Resembling a standard bank card, it includes a secure chip that stores private keys. Users can interact with it using NFC or a chip card reader, bringing security and portability into one device.

Pi Network Outlook

With fiat on-ramps improving and daily services now Pi-enabled, the network is becoming more usable and inclusive. This dual development strategy, ease of entry and practical utility could help Pi Network transition into the mainstream Web3 conversation.
