Pi Network has launched a redesigned Ecosystem Directory Staking feature, available to its reported 60 million users. The platform hopes this will increase the visibility of applications within its ecosystem and attract more developers and creators.

Staking can increase app exposure

Users can now stake PI tokens to secure higher placement in the application catalog for selected apps. Pi Network states that this mechanism aims to improve application discovery efficiency and make projects within the ecosystem more visible to users.

Without changing the core economic model

The platform states that this update will not change the network's core economic structure. Staking PI will be returned after the user's selected staking period ends; this arrangement is more akin to an ecosystem promotion tool than a restructuring of the token economy.

The next step is to expand ecological participation.

Pi Network also plans to further expand its ecosystem engagement. With more developers and content creators joining, the application distribution function of the ecosystem directory is expected to be further enhanced.
