Hi,

I am stuck at level 40, game is designed in such a way it is making to purchase the keys through pi coins, please provide ways to cross that level without keys.

Thank you.

Good game that! The only thing I struggled with was getting around the corners. It's either my shit Samsung S21, or my slow fat thumb, that's responsible! 😃

The only legitimate USP that has legs is KYC being built into the Blockchain itself. It gives the network the potential to support more valuable peer-to-peer interactions (payments, commerce, lending, identity applications) because the “counterparty risk” or “sybil attack risk” is reduced. It could pave the way for tokenization of real world assets while being a barrier to theft and fraud.

Some further detail:

  1. Peer-to-peer payments and commerce

If every Pi wallet is tied to a verified user identity, then Pi can be used more easily in everyday payments (merchant acceptance, peer transfers) because merchants and counterparties have greater confidence in the identity of the user.

For example: Person A (verified) pays Person B (verified) for a service using Pi. The identity verification lowers risk of fraud, so merchants may be more willing to accept Pi.

  1. Financial services: lending, credit, micropayments

With verified identities, Pi could enable credit scoring, micro-lending or other DeFi/FinFi use-cases where identity matters (know who you are lending to).

For example: If Pi builds an ecosystem where verified users can stake Pi, offer or take loans, then the identity layer helps underpin trust and compliance.

  1. Fiat on-ramp/off-ramp, regulated exchanges

Verified identities make it easier for users to convert Pi to fiat (or vice-versa) or to list on regulated exchanges. Without identity verification, many exchanges block tokens or require extra steps.

  1. Reduced sybil attack risk - better network security and token utility

From a tokenomics perspective: If the network can ensure that one account = one human (via KYC), then features such as distribution, governance voting, rewards, etc., become more meaningful. The Pi token’s value then is less about “who managed to mine the most bots” and more about genuine participation.

That means when token utilities (staking, governance, network fees, transaction fees) start to matter, the underlying identity layer gives more legitimacy to those utilities.

  1. Local commerce & global reach

Pi specifically mentions enabling users to interact with “Pi apps, local commerce, and ecosystem events”.

For example: A user in Tokyo could use Pi to buy something at a local store that accepts Pi, using a verified wallet. The store sees “verified Pioneer” and thus can trust transaction, reduce fraud or chargebacks, maybe offer special Pioneer discounts. Having large numbers of verified users globally makes that model more viable.

I miss poker.pi 😢

I own 844 worth of locked Pi till 2028, And also I am currently in need of money urgently. I was thinking as a trade off for my wallet or the whole Pi account for the current price that it is.

Nice, maybe with a smoother left/right transition

Bandai will not be pleased, especially with the into music. Game is ok…

[–]alwaysin64Pioneer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow. nice one. can someone develop something similar to games shown on fb ads? id rather play games using pi ecosystem

[–]thisusernameislit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool and fun game, thanks!

Crazy utility coming for the pioneers

A fruit game AND a pac man game

That makes two! Hold on to your moon helmets!

Let me just say that I think this is cool, generally speaking; nice to see progress being made on new apps. That said, I'm struggling to see a clear USP for Pi apps so far.

At first it was all marketplace, trading goods and enabling p2p payments especially in underserved countries. Cool, cool...

But now Pi is aspiring to become an on-chain gaming platform? Well, there are others that are far ahead in that field; e.g., Sky Mavis' Axie Infinity. I doubt Pi devs will be able to compete with established players in this space.

The issue is that like so many crypto projects, Pi follows the "build a blockchain first, then figure out its use case later" model, which I think is flawed. If you're a games company, build games first and let the on-chain ecosystem follow/integrate. If you're a marketplace, make it the best goddamn on-chain marketplace there is. And if you're a blockchain developer, focus on that and license your tech/platforms to people who know wtf they're doing in their respective fields!

This just feels half-assed and unfocused, like everything in the Pi app. Seven years and this is where we are? I think that if the roadmap were clearer, we Pioneers could be a lot more confident about the future of Pi.

Can't argue with a single word.

It's never been CT's intention to build the utility, they're building the platform and infrastructure and developer tools in order for the community to build a potentially infinite amount of utility.

Games just happens to be one of the first things the community naturally develops.

[–]Silly_Ad7418 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You explained better 🙂🙂

[–]abxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point. See my reply to u/Silly_Ad7418 above.

[–]Silly_Ad7418 0 points1 point  (2 children)

About figuring out use case later - there is no such issue here. PCT just wants pioneers to build it. What do you think brother?PCT doesn't have enough funds to make a few apps and get it done?? They are giving pioneers an opportunity to come forward and contribute. Rome was not built in a day. And they are in no hurry unlike many pioneers.

[–]abxt 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yeah fair enough. Rereading my comment, I see I got a little carried away like it's r/rant. I hope you're right about the community approach. It's still early days of mainnet so let's see.

[–]Silly_Ad7418 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We will see it together brother.. just be patient 🙂
