$PI is coming to an end! Dr. Ni is re-pricing! It is definitely not the current low price 🤧 Recently, there has been increasing discussion in the community about the DEX that will be launched at the end of the fourth quarter, specifically from November to December (. What feels different this time is that the technical design architecture genuinely starts to place value anchors on practical applications—this means that future value will no longer rely on elusive speculation, but will be supported by countless real DAPPs running together.

*The solid footsteps of technology implementation
In the recent update of the development documentation, it can be seen that the core team is advancing a series of infrastructure optimizations. Improving key management processes, optimizing non-custodial shallow pack functions, and expanding third-party service interfaces—these seemingly minor technical improvements are, in fact, paving the way for a truly open ecosystem. It's like building with LEGO bricks; only when each interface fits perfectly can the entire system expand stably.
What is particularly noteworthy is that these technological upgrades consistently embody the simple design philosophy of lowering the threshold. From simplifying the smart DeFi testing process to optimizing the gas speed mechanism, each step makes it easier for ordinary developers to understand. This kind of "subtle improvement" is often more powerful than exaggerated slogans.
*Key breakthroughs in standardized cross-border transactions
While the community is still discussing market fluctuations, a milestone event quietly took place: Web3 successfully complied with the ISO 20022 standard and completed the technical integration with the SWIFT system. As developers, we understand what this means – blockchain technology is moving from edge innovation to the mainstream.
ISO 20022 is like the TCP/IP protocol of the internet era, establishing a common language across systems. Its integration with SWIFT is akin to opening the doors of traditional industries for de-centralized applications. This seemingly light action, while not as noticeable as market fluctuations, is the cornerstone of long-term development.
*Community-driven real growth
The news of surpassing 100 million installs on the Google Store may be more convincing than any technology. This number reflects real data, especially in the current situation where it is not being looked upon favorably.
For example, the development trajectory of the early internet—the truly vibrant ecosystems often first establish a solid user base and then gradually improve the technology.
*Building practical value in practice
The results of the upcoming 2025 Hackathon, which will be revealed soon, may be the most anticipated event in recent times. These hackathon competitions are not just about coding skills; they serve as a touchstone for testing the practicality of the ecosystem. From the submitted previews, they cover multiple fields including social, gaming, and lifestyle services.
Interestingly, this competition particularly emphasized the "practicality" scoring criteria. The criteria clearly require that real usage needs must be addressed, not just the theoretical aspects of the technology. In other words, it cannot be something that can only be observed but not used.
*Slow is the development philosophy of fast
In this fast-paced industry, we have witnessed the rare persistence of continuous technological research and development over the years.
From a developer's perspective, this "slow development" model has instead created a healthier technological environment. Gradually advancing the implementation, continuously optimizing node performance, and sequentially opening API interfaces—every technical decision made by Dr. Ni seems very cautious.
*Looking to the Future
What is true value? After experiencing multiple rounds of market fluctuations, I increasingly believe that the answer is not in the K charts, but in every real functioning DAPP, in every line of code submitted by developers.
We should pay less attention to market fluctuations and focus more on the quality of the ecosystem—because true value is always built upon solving real application scenarios in the ecosystem!
