Pi Network has moved to strengthen its position in Web3 gaming through a new partnership with CiDi Games.
The agreement aims to expand the real-world use of the Pi coin and increase engagement within the project’s large global community.
The companies plan to integrate Pi into upcoming titles built by CiDi to support both players and developers.
The collaboration also reflects Pi Network’s broader strategy to grow its ecosystem through gaming-focused initiatives.
Pi Network aims to boost Pi coin use cases
According to a blog announcement, Pi Network said the partnership will bring the token into several CiDi-developed games.
The project noted that developers will gain access to Pi’s large community of Pioneers, while players could see Pi used for in-game purchases.
Pi Network explained that the arrangement could strengthen the blockchain’s gaming infrastructure. The team described gaming as a natural fit for its ecosystem growth plan.
The Pi Core development team added that the partnership with CiDi will help expand Pi’s utility and offer clearer guidance for game creators. The team stated that both companies will benefit from a two-way feedback loop that connects users, content, and new gaming features.
Pi Network highlighted that stronger user engagement remains a key target for its roadmap. The project said that new utilities will help reinforce innovation and involvement across the ecosystem.
The team referenced past investments in gaming, including hackathons, incubation programs, and monetization tools.
The Pi Ad Network, which supports advertising inside apps, was described as a revenue system that enables token-based transactions.
Pi Network also pointed to its collaboration with The Article 19 Group on Fruity Pi, an AR game that launched in May.
The game features Pi payments, wallet-level integration, and the Pi Ad Network, which the team considers a template for future applications.
CiDi Games plans to build on this foundation through a library of titles designed for the Pi ecosystem.
The company will introduce an H5 Game Platform, which it described as a fast and accessible HTML5 hub suited for casual players.
Pi Network said the plan aligns with its push to expand lightweight gaming experiences for users.
Pi coin sees mixed trading as gaming news emerges
The partnership arrived as the Pi token recorded another week of uneven market performance.
Pi posted a 2% gain over the past day and extended its monthly rise to more than 11%, trading at $0.253 at the time of reporting.

The token moved between $0.22 and $0.24 during Wednesday’s US afternoon session before nearing $0.26 after the news. A brief correction on Thursday pulled the price slightly lower and pushed weekly figures into a 1.17% decline.
Pi’s market capitalization moved above $2 billion again, placing it ahead of PEPE and Ethena. Community members have claimed the update could arrive on November 28. The chatter appeared to contribute to recent price momentum around the token.
