Pi Network Unveils A Fresh Look For Its Mining App

A Cleaner Interface for Pioneers

Pi Network (@PiCoreTeam) has rolled out the first phase of a redesign for its mining app, giving the platform its most visible interface refresh in some time. The update targets the side menu and profile page, making important Pioneer information and ecosystem features easier to find, understand, and navigate.

The redesigned side menu and profile page make important features such as the Mainnet Checklist, mining information, and Pi Apps easier to access. The app also now supports Dark Mode, one of the most requested features from the community.

This is the start of a broader, iterative refresh of the Pi mining app and home screen, reflecting feedback from Pioneers who felt it was time for a new look and improved experience. The project says future interface improvements will be rolled out gradually, with community feedback shaping the next steps.

Part of a Broader Development Push

The app refresh arrives alongside a significant protocol upgrade. Pi is scheduled to upgrade to Protocol v25 on Wednesday, July 22, with the upgrade primarily focused on improving network stability and reliability while adding new capabilities for more efficient, privacy-preserving smart contracts.

Protocol v25 introduces BN254 cryptography and Poseidon hashing, two technical building blocks that enable developers to build modern zero-knowledge applications, allowing a user to verify that a claim is valid while preserving their privacy.

The Pi mining app is one of the most important interfaces in the Pi ecosystem, supporting a community of over 60 million engaged Pioneers. The mining app redesign adds a user experience dimension to what has largely been an infrastructure-focused development cycle, as the team works to evolve the platform into a broader Web3 application ecosystem.
