Pi Network has entered a strategic partnership with CiDi Games to enhance the real-world utility of its native Pi token and solidify its position in the Web3 gaming ecosystem. According to the project's blog announcement, the collaboration will integrate Pi into multiple games developed by CiDi, targeting Pi's global community of millions of users, known as Pioneers, while supporting developers within the network.
CiDi Games will leverage Pi as the core digital asset for in-game transactions, including payments, rewards, and purchases, scaling the blockchain's gaming infrastructure. The partnership is described as a "two-way feedback loop," where developers gain access to Pi's large user base, and new gaming utilities foster innovation and daily engagement. Pi Network Ventures has also made a direct investment in CiDi Games, underscoring long-term financial backing and confidence in the platform's future.
Pi Network has historically focused on gaming initiatives, such as hackathons, incubation programs, and the Pi Ad Network, which provides revenue opportunities for creators. In May, the project collaborated with The Article 19 Group to launch Fruity Pi, an augmented reality game that uses Pi payments and serves as a template for sustainable app development. CiDi Games plans to build on this foundation with an H5 Game Platform, a lightweight HTML5-based hub for fast, casual games, with an early test version expected in Q1 2026. The platform will include an open development framework for third-party studios to integrate Pi easily.
Amid the partnership news, Pi token recorded a 2% gain over 24 hours and an 11% monthly increase, trading at around $0.25, with market capitalization exceeding $2 billion. Social media rumors of a network update on November 28 may have contributed to positive price momentum, though brief corrections occurred.
