Pi Network Updates Testnet DEX With Improved UI and Liquidity Pool Features

• Pi Network testnet DEX upgrade refines interface, shifts trading pairs around Pi for steadier liquidity.
• Liquidity-based token rankings and domain verification add clearer signals without promising absolute safety.

Pi Network has rolled out major updates to the features of its testnet decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) liquidity pools. These upgrades aim to improve usability, transparency, and the liquidity structure for users known as Pioneers.

The update delivers a redesigned interface for the DEX and AMM, improving clarity in navigation and making DeFi tools easier to use. The measures are in response to user feedback gathered through the Pi Testnet.

A central element of the update is the transition to Pi-denominated trading pairs, which concentrates liquidity around Pi as the base asset. This structure aims to limit liquidity fragmentation across pools and improve trade results by reducing slippage and enabling more consistent price discovery.

Domain Verification and Liquidity Rankings

To improve transparency, the Pi network has also introduced domain verification. Token issuers can connect their tokens with official domains. Before, users had to rely only on blockchain addresses, which often carried no real-world reference.

With domain links in place, Pioneers can now check whether a token that claims to represent a project or business is actually backed by its web identity. This feature gives users an additional indicator when evaluating token origins, though verification does not guarantee token safety.

In addition, the token ranking within DEX has changed. Instead of market cap, which can be influenced by artificial supply and prices, tokens are now ranked based on liquidity. The higher the amount of Test-Pi committed to a token’s pool, the higher its rank. Since adding liquidity demands real commitment, this system is harder to manipulate.

Pi Network Targets 2026 DEX Rollout

The Pi Core Team anticipates a full launch of the DEX by 2026. With the launch of the network, a token creation feature will also be introduced. Its purpose is to make the process of creating new tokens easier for developers and users.

At the same time, the team is investing in various projects to increase real-world use. Two companies already backed include CiDi Games, which will build games using Pi, and OpenMind, which is working with Pi Network on integrating AI technologies. A $100 million ecosystem fund supports these partnerships.

The network’s native token is seeing a modest rise. Pi is currently trading at $0.211, showing a 2.64% gain in the last 24 hours. Still, this is far below its peak near $3. The token’s market cap, once estimated at $20 billion, has dropped to $1.77 billion.
