February 11 News, according to Bloomberg, the cryptocurrency Super PAC Fairshake's affiliate organization, Defend American Jobs, plans to spend approximately $5 million to support pro-cryptocurrency candidate Barri Moore's campaign for U.S. Senate.

Pi Network officially launches the Pi Advertising Network, providing a new monetization method for applications within the ecosystem. This feature allows advertisers to use Pi tokens to run ads, while app developers built on the Pi browser can earn Pi income directly through ad displays. This mechanism is seen as the first platform-level tool in the Pi ecosystem to truly realize a value cycle, marking a key step from "user growth" to "app monetization." The core logic of the Pi Advertising Network is straightforward: advertisers must first acquire Pi to run ads, and the tokens are then distributed to developers, creating an internal circulation economy based on application traffic. In the past, many Pi apps had users but lacked a sustainable revenue source. Now, this problem is expected to be alleviated. For the still-developing Pi ecosystem, this provides clear incentives for developers and increases the likelihood of long-term retention.

Pi Network has announced three major updates, including simplified Pi payment integration, ad-supported free app creation, and a call for community feedback on creator activities. Pioneers can integrate Test-Pi payments without coding, and users can deploy applications by watching ads. The first 1000 feedback providers will receive Pi points rewards.
