Pi Network has over 60 million Engaged Pioneers. For developers, that creates an important opportunity: How do useful apps get discovered by these millions of people on Pi? Ecosystem Directory Staking was built to help answer that. It is a decentralized way for Pioneers and businesses to actively support and promote the ranking of Pi apps and utilities in the Ecosystem Interface. Staking through this feature increases an app’s exposure to the Pi community, helping boost visibility within the ecosystem. This feature provides a self-service avenue for developers and creators to use Pi to tap into the attention resource of Pi Network to acquire users. As AI makes app creation easier and easier, the challenge shifts from building products to getting them in front of people. Ecosystem Directory Staking improves ecosystem discovery, making it easier for developers and creators to connect with users, and easier for users to discover new apps.
