It could become your new \u201c<strong>digital identity<\/strong>\u201d in <strong>Web3 (Web3)<\/strong>, which will form the foundation of the coming digital society.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will explain the following topics in a way that allows even those without specialized prior knowledge to understand deeply and accurately:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why are \u201cWeb3 domains\u201d currently attracting global attention?<\/li>\n<li>What is the true value of the \u201c.pi domain\u201d announced by Pi Network?<\/li>\n<li>How will owning it change our digital lives?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Are Web3 Domains Gaining Attention Now?<\/h2>\n<p>To understand the innovation of the Pi domain, let&#8217;s first look at the larger trend of \u201c<strong>Web3 domains<\/strong>\u201d that underpins it. By understanding why this is important for the modern internet, the true value of the Pi domain becomes clear.<\/p>\n<p>The domains we commonly use, such as \u201cexample.com\u201d or \u201cexample.jp,\u201d are managed by a system called DNS (Domain Name System). While highly convenient, this is a \u201ccentralized\u201d system managed by specific companies or organizations.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, Web3 domains are characterized by their ability to allow individuals to directly manage domain ownership using <strong>blockchain technology (a decentralized, tamper-proof digital ledger monitored by everyone)<\/strong>. A prime example of this is \u201c<strong>ENS (Ethereum Name Service)<\/strong>\u201d on the Ethereum blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>With the advent of ENS, users can now use human-readable names like \u201cyourname.eth\u201d instead of long, complex wallet addresses starting with \u201c0x\u2026\u201d. This not only added convenience but also created a new digital asset market where domains themselves become personal assets (NFTs) that anyone can freely buy and sell.<\/p>\n<h2>The Core of Pi Network&#8217;s &#8220;Pi Domains&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s delve into the main topic: Pi Network&#8217;s \u201cPi Domains.\u201d How does this work, and what changes will it bring to us, the Pi users?<\/p>\n<p>Officially announced on \u201cPi Day,\u201d March 14, 2025, the purpose of this new feature is very simple yet powerful: just as ENS achieved on Ethereum, it aims to <strong>replace Pi Network&#8217;s long and complex wallet addresses with human-memorable and user-friendly names like \u201cyourname.pi.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is expected to dramatically smooth and secure various activities within the Pi Network ecosystem (economic sphere), such as sending and receiving Pi coins, and using the many services that will emerge in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>How the .pi Domain Works and the Benefits We Gain<\/h2>\n<p>How exactly do .pi domains function, and what advantages do we gain by owning them? Here, we will explain their mechanism and specific benefits across three key points.<\/p>\n<h3>Mechanism: &#8220;Your Property&#8221; Guaranteed by Blockchain<\/h3>\n<p>The .pi domain functions as a type of <strong>NFT (Non-Fungible Token)<\/strong> managed on the Pi blockchain. This ensures that once acquired, ownership of the domain is strongly protected by the blockchain, making it \u201cyour asset\u201d that cannot be taken away by anyone. The acquisition method employs an auction (bidding) system using Pi coins, where the highest bidder secures the domain.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefit 1: Convenience \u2013 Error-Free, Easy Transactions<\/h3>\n<p>The biggest advantage is the <strong>overwhelming improvement in convenience<\/strong>. Previously, one of the most careful tasks in cryptocurrency transfers was accurately copying and pasting long, complex wallet addresses. However, with a .pi domain, you can simply type \u201cfriend.pi\u201d when sending Pi to a friend, dramatically reducing the risk of erroneous transfers.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefit 2: Identity \u2013 Your &#8220;Signboard&#8221; in the Pi World<\/h3>\n<p>The .pi domain will serve as a <strong>unified \u201cdigital identity\u201d<\/strong> to identify you in various dApps (decentralized applications) and online stores that will be developed within the Pi ecosystem. This can act as your \u201csignboard\u201d or \u201cbusiness card\u201d in the Pi world, similar to a brand name for a business or a personal nickname.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefit 3: Asset Value \u2013 An Investment in the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Just as domains like \u201camazon.eth\u201d and short, memorable words were traded at high prices on ENS, <strong>highly sought-after or easily remembered short .pi domains hold the potential to become valuable assets in the future<\/strong>. Acquiring a desirable domain early can be seen as an investment betting on the growth of the Pi Network.<\/p>\n<h2>Community Reaction and Future Outlook<\/h2>\n<p>The advent of new technology always brings vitality and discussion to the community. As seen by the buzz in the Indonesian community regarding a prominent account named \u201cWira PI\u201d reportedly acquiring a domain after the .pi domain announcement (according to source information), users worldwide are showing very high interest in .pi domains.<\/p>\n<p>Such community reactions are evidence that many users perceive \u201cvalue\u201d and \u201cpotential\u201d in the .pi domain that goes beyond mere convenience. In fact, according to official announcements, hundreds of thousands of bids have already been placed, indicating the community&#8217;s enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, as the Pi ecosystem transitions to the open mainnet and expands further, it is expected that this domain will be used in an even wider variety of applications than we can imagine, including payments, dApp logins, and website publishing.<\/p>\n<h2>Summary: Will Pi Domain Be an Accessible Gateway to Web3?<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s review the key points of this article:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The .pi domain is a significant step towards resolving Web3 complexity and making blockchain technology more accessible.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>It is not just an alias for an address; it is your \u201cdigital identity\u201d within the Pi ecosystem itself.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Owning it offers three major benefits: \u201cincreased convenience,\u201d \u201cestablishment of identity,\u201d and \u201cpotential for asset value.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, the ultimate success of the Pi Network project is not yet guaranteed. However, the .pi domain initiative, spearheaded by this massive project with tens of millions of users worldwide, holds significant potential to become <strong>the most accessible gateway for many people to genuinely experience the Web3 world for the first time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For those interested in the trends of this new digital asset, it is recommended to regularly check the latest information from Pi Network&#8217;s official app and website, while being cautious of fraudulent information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cPi Network,\u201d which has garnered global attention for allowing smartphone mining, has announced a new feature  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":254496,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[494,50,69,504,944,943,3,124],"class_list":["post-254497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pinetwork","tag-pi-domain","tag-blockchain","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-digital-identity","tag-ens","tag-nft","tag-pi-network","tag-web3"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254497","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254497"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":254498,"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254497\/revisions\/254498"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
