Jakarta, Pintu News – The price of 1 Pi Network (PI) in Indonesia today, March 16, 2026, is back in the spotlight amid the latest developments in its ecosystem. PI’s price movement was also influenced by a number of important updates, including the launch of Pi Launchpad, the start of a new era of smart contracts, and the second wave of KYC validator reward migration and distribution. These updates are considered to be catalysts that drive activity and interest in the cryptocurrency.

The chart on CoinMarketCap shows the price movement of Pi Network (PI) in the last 24 hour period which had experienced pressure before finally returning to strength. The PI price initially moved down from a range of around $0.198 and had touched a low in the $0.19 area due to strong selling pressure.
However, after this consolidation phase, the price started to show a gradual recovery. The bullish momentum then pushed the price of PI up sharply to break $0.20, before finally stabilizing around $0.2016. Overall, PI still recorded a gain of around 1.98% in 24 hours, signaling the re-emergence of buying interest in the market.

One of the most anticipated announcements was the arrival of Pi Launchpad on the Testnet network, a token launch platform designed specifically for product-based projects in the Pi ecosystem. Unlike a typical crypto launchpad, Pi Launchpad only allows projects that already have a real application to issue tokens.
The tokens launched are not for fundraising, but rather to attract genuine users and are directly integrated into the product functionality. All proceeds from the token launch will go to the liquidity pool, not to the development team, creating a healthy liquidity foundation from day one.
In addition, all of Pi’s main nodes have been updated to version 20.2 which supports Protocol 20. This update is an important milestone because it provides the technical infrastructure for smart contracts on the Pi blockchain. With smart contracts, developers can build decentralized applications, automate transactions, and deliver features such as NFTs, subscription systems, escrow, and on-chain marketplaces.
The rollout of smart contracts will be gradual and focused on real utilities, with priority on subscription, escrow, and NFT contracts which are currently under external security audits.

After a long wait from the community, the second wave of migrations is now officially open. Pioneers who have completed the first migration can move additional Pi balances to Mainnet, provided they have enabled two-factor authentication on Pi Wallet via the Mainnet Checklist Step 5.
This second migration process also features a referral mining bonus for referral team members who have passed KYC. The community is encouraged to complete the verification process before the migration window closes. Last but not least, Pi Network finally distributed rewards to KYC validators who have contributed to the human verification process. More than 526 million validations were successfully performed by over 1.09 million validators.
The total reward is 16.57 million PIs plus even 10 million PIs from the Pi Foundation, so each validation is valued at 0.0504 PI-21 times the current base mining rate. Payouts will be sent directly to validators’ Mainnet wallets within the next ten days.
