Shift to pinet.com for Official Apps

The primary URL update involves migrating essential user utilities to subdomains under pinet.com.

  • The Pi Wallet Update: The official web-based interface for the Pi Wallet is now wallet.pinet.com. The old wallet.pi domain automatically redirects here.
  • Web2 Browser Accessibility: Historically, Pi decentralized applications (dApps) could only be opened inside the standalone Pi Browser. The pinet.com directory allows external Web2 browsers (like Chrome, Safari, or Brave) to preview and interact with Pi Web3 utilities.

Developer Subdomain Structures

For creators launching applications in the Pi Ecosystem, the Core Team structured the URL deployment process to prioritize security and organization:

  • Verified Ecosystem Routing: To launch an app, developers must register a unique PiNet Subdomain Guide inside the Developer Portal.
  • Anti-Squatting Randomization: URLs are configured with mandatory 4-to-5-digit random numbers appended to the address string. This mechanism blocks domain squatters from hijacking popular app names.

Critical Security Considerations

Because users must input their sensitive 24-word passphrases to access features like the Official Pi Wallet, verifying URL integrity is paramount:

  • Check the Address Bar: Always check that the active link is explicitly wallet.pinet.com and not a look-alike phishing domain.
  • Official Web Links: The Core Team maintains Pi Network Safety Channels to continuously verify valid external domains and protect user assets from fraudulent clones.
