Jakarta, Pintu News – The price of 1 Pi Network (PI) in Indonesia today, March 3, 2026, is moving steadily amid an important phase of network development. The price movement occurs as the project enters the Protocol Upgrade and Transition to v23 stage which is claimed to increase stability and readiness for advanced features.
On the other hand, the market is also looking forward to the launch of the DEX Pi Network on March 12, 2026 which has the potential to add utility and liquidity to the ecosystem. This combination of technical updates and launch agenda is the main factor influencing crypto investors’ sentiment towards PI.

The 24-hour chart shows the price of Pi (PI) fluctuating with a slight upward trend. After dropping to around US$0.166-US$0.167 in the mid-session area, the price turned up and broke US$0.170 before lightly correcting to around US$0.169. Overall, PI recorded a gain of about 0.85% on the day, reflecting a short-term rebound momentum.
In terms of market data, capitalization stands at around US$1.6 billion with a 24-hour trading volume of around US$11.68 million. The price increase was accompanied by an improvement in community sentiment which was dominated by bullish views. However, the movement is still within a narrow range, so the US$0.170 area is the nearest resistance and the US$0.166-US$0.167 zone serves as short-term support.

Pi Network’s core developers are continuing the mandatory upgrade to software version 19.9 as part of the transition to Protocol v23 targeted for 2026. The update is said to improve network stability while strengthening scalability across active infrastructure. Adjustments to consensus standards are made so that the system is better equipped to accommodate smart contract features at a later stage. The migration also ensures node compatibility with the latest security standards in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Network participation continued to increase as the account migration and KYC verification process continued. The number of active nodes has surpassed 421,000 units, while verified users have surpassed 17.7 million accounts. The developers mentioned that on-chain activity is also increasing as backend updates progress. Validators are scheduled to start receiving incentives on March 31 to encourage wider network participation.
Pi Network is scheduled to launch its official DEX on March 12, 2026, which will enable direct peer-to-peer trading between assets on the network. This feature will introduce an automated mechanism-based liquidity pool to support price stability and early liquidity. The development team emphasized that the security system was updated before the official launch. Test runs of the module are being conducted in phases to ensure stable performance as demand increases.
The app ecosystem has also undergone technical integration to be compatible with the latest routing system. More than 300 apps are now operating on the network, while merchant adoption is claimed to have surpassed 148,000 stores. A PiRC1 proposal was also submitted to ensure each project releases functional applications before issuing tokens, in order to maintain the quality of the crypto ecosystem. In addition, the project team submitted the MiCA whitepaper to European regulators as part of regulatory compliance efforts.
