3. Ranking by Liquidity, Not Hype

Pi is ditching the easily manipulated"Market Cap" ranking for a liquidity-based ranking system.

Why?Because a developer could lock 99% of a token’s supply, pump the price of the remaining 1%, and inflate its market cap to look huge—without real community investment.

Ranking byhow much Test-Pi is actually locked in a pool measures real commitment. It rewards projects that attract genuine capital, not just clever tokenomics. It’s a more honest leaderboard.

4. A Sleeker, Friction-Free Interface

The UI/UX has been polished to reduce friction.The goal is to let you focus on learning and experimenting with DeFi mechanics—swap, provide liquidity, analyze pairs—without fighting a confusing interface. They’ve even released a new video walkthrough to guide you.

Beyond the DEX: A Holiday Push for Real-World Use

And because utility shouldn’t stop at trading, Pi is launching a Community Holiday Commerce Event. This initiative is spotlighting Mainnet apps and local merchants who accept Pi, encouraging real-world spending and supporting small businesses within the ecosystem. It’s a timely reminder that crypto’s end goal is to be used, not just held.

My Takeaway: A Blueprint for Thoughtful Growth

What stands out to me isn’t any single feature, but the philosophy. This update says: "We’re building for people, not just speculators." By focusing on education, transparent signals, and consolidated liquidity, Pi is trying to build DeFi foundations that are stable and inclusive.

It’s a compelling experiment in the Testnet lab, and it offers a great low-risk opportunity for anyone to dip their toes into DeFi dynamics.
