On December 1, 2025, news: Dr. Ni's Web3 network pi goes mainstream.

The biggest move in the Web3 space by the end of 2025: Dr. Ni's Web3 network invests in the CiDi gaming platform, and the two parties join forces to promote the practical implementation of the digital token Coin. This is not an ordinary capital marriage, but a crucial step for the digital token to move from "concept" to "everyday use". Hundreds of thousands of netizens have commented on the related topic: "After waiting for so long, it can finally be truly used."
Games have become the "stepping stone" for digital tokens.
Why the gaming industry in particular? A netizen bluntly pointed out: "You might be able to make my mom understand blockchain, but you can't necessarily get her to use digital tokens; but if you let her buy game items with tokens, she might learn even faster than you." This statement hits the core - gaming is a natural digital economy scenario.
Over 3 billion players worldwide constitute a borderless market, where the high-frequency trading of skins and items perfectly matches the micro-payment advantages of digital tokens. More importantly, the game's reward mechanism can naturally guide usage: earn Coin by completing tasks, share the game to gain rewards. This "play-to-earn" model is more effective than any form of education.
Dr. Ni's team had long been laying the groundwork. The previous Fruity application was just a small-scale test, and this collaboration with CiDi is like upgrading the testing ground to an industry-level platform. Some players estimate: "In the future, playing CiDi's games might earn enough Coin in a day to buy a cup of milk tea, now that's a truly useful Web3."
An investment that changed the way Web3 works.
The direct investment from Dr. Ni's Ventures Foundation carries three important signals. First is the upgrade in gameplay; in the past, the Web3 ecosystem was mostly small-scale activities by geeks, but now the entry of mature companies like CiDi indicates that the industry is really about to "break out."
CiDi is not just here to make games; it will also build an H5 game center integrated with Coin, and even provide toolkits for other developers. This means that Dr. Ni's Web3 ecosystem is transitioning from "building it alone" to "building it together." An industry blogger commented: "This move learns from the strategies of Web2 giants, using investment to bind the ecosystem, which is 10 times faster than forging ahead alone."
The most critical aspect is the breakthrough of the trust system. The traditional crypto community is a mixed bag, while Dr. Ni's users are all real-name verified, which gives enterprises the confidence to cooperate. The head of CiDi candidly stated in an interview: "With millions of real users as a foundation, we dare to invest resources in custom development."
No price speculation, Web3 finally returns to "practicality"
This cooperation clearly distinguishes between digital tokens and traditional cryptocurrencies. In the past, many crypto projects relied on hype to drive up prices, without even a proper application scenario. Netizens complained, "After buying, you can only watch the price rise and fall in your wallet, which is no different from buying a painting to hang on the wall."
Dr. Ni took a different path: the value of Coin does not rely on speculation, but on usage. Using it to purchase game items is value, receiving advertising revenue with it is value, and transferring money to friends is also value. A user shared their usage record: "I used Coin to send money to a friend abroad, it arrived in a few minutes, and the fees were half of what the bank charges."
This logic of "first gathering users, then developing applications" is also quite disruptive. Generally, blockchain projects prioritize technology first and then seek users. However, Dr. Ni first accumulated millions of real users before landing the scenarios. It's like first building the road and then inviting businesses to open shops, which is naturally much more reliable than just shouting "build a marketplace."
Don't miss this point in the first quarter of 2026.
According to the plans disclosed by both parties, the first blockchain game integrating Coin will begin testing in the first quarter of 2026. This timing is quite significant - by the end of 2025, Dr. Ni's Web3 will complete the transition to the open mainnet, perfectly aligning with practical implementation.
This means that starting next spring, Coin will officially enter the consumer market. Gaming is just the starting point, and it will subsequently cover scenarios such as takeout payments, logistics settlements, and digital asset transactions. Some netizens have fantasized: "In the future, when going out to buy coffee, paying with Coin might be more convenient than scanning a code."
This is an important turning point for the industry. In the past, Web3 was often labeled as "speculative," but the collaboration between Dr. Ni and CiDi proves that the real digital economy lies in "usable and practical" applications. When coins can circulate in games and be used for payments in daily life, Web3 will have truly moved beyond mere concepts and taken root.
Now looking at the netizens' words "After waiting so long, I can finally use it for real," makes me understand the anticipation behind it even more. The wave of Web3 has been surging for so many years, and this time, it is finally going to wash up on the shores of reality.
