January 20 News, the Pi Network ecosystem welcomes a new practical application. The new service platform Fixora has officially launched on Pi App Studio. As a local service marketplace built directly on the Pi platform, Fixora supports users to complete payments using Pi Coin, further expanding the real-world use cases and implementation capabilities of Pi Coin.
Public information shows that Fixora was developed by an early supporter who has been involved with Pi Network since 2019. Its core goal is to promote the transformation of Pi Coin from an “mining asset” to a “daily usable payment tool.” This launch is seen as an important step towards making the Pi ecosystem more practical and application-oriented, aligning with Pi Network’s current emphasis on real applications and genuine demand.
From a functional perspective, Fixora is essentially a local service matching platform based on the Pi ecosystem. Users can find various daily services such as housekeeping, home repairs, tutoring, and plumbing repairs within the app, and complete settlements directly using Pi Coin without relying on cash or bank cards. This design enhances the payment attribute of Pi Coin in real-world scenarios, moving beyond just wallet balances.
In terms of security and trust mechanisms, Fixora introduces a community verification system. Service providers need to build credibility gradually through community reviews and genuine feedback, reducing transaction risks and increasing user trust. Additionally, the platform incorporates a Pi Coin staking mechanism, allowing developers to stake Pi Coin to increase the application’s exposure within Pi App Studio and incentivize long-term participation in ecosystem development.
It is worth noting that Fixora currently operates in the Pi App Studio testing environment, using test-Pi for interactions. This stage is an important part of Pi Network’s closed network, aimed at screening and refining applications with genuine demand before the full public mainnet launch. If Fixora performs well in rankings and usage data, it may receive further support at the mainnet level in the future.
For Pi Network, the launch of Fixora not only enriches the ecosystem’s application types but also strengthens the long-term narrative of “Pi’s practical value.” As similar applications gradually increase, Pi Coin’s use cases are shifting from mining and holding to actual consumption and service payments, providing a clearer practical foundation for its long-term development.

Pi Network PIRC baseline protection mechanism sparks controversy, implying a “quasi-stablecoin” logic
Pi Network member Daniel F raised a logical contradiction in the PIRC token design, noting that if it has a 23.8% floor protection, it would need to behave like a stablecoin, which conflicts with its high volatility on CEX. This floor is based on Pi’s price calculations; if Pi itself fluctuates significantly, it will be unable to effectively protect holders. Daniel emphasized the importance of transparency, but the project team did not respond to it, leading the community to continue speculating about the reasons for its silence.
