What happened
CoinGape reported that Pi Network launched new developer capabilities on September 4, including local storage for whitelisted Pi Browser applications that let apps retain preferences and session data on a user's device. The network also released a staking data API for whitelisted applications showing each user's effective stake through Ecosystem Directory Staking. CoinGape said Protocol 27 is aimed at September 15 with liquidity upgrades intended to support utility.
