After six years of development and millions of users mining Pi cryptocurrency, the long-awaited Open Mainnet launch is set for February 20, 2025.
Key Achievements Before Open Mainnet
Pi Network has reached critical milestones:
- 19 million Pioneers completed KYC verification.
- 10.14 million users migrated Pi to Mainnet.
- 100+ Mainnet-ready apps developed, fostering ecosystem growth.
Pi Network Overview
Launched in 2019 by Stanford graduates, Pi Network enables mobile-based mining of Pi tokens. Despite rapid adoption, delays pushed the Open Mainnet launch from 2024 to 2025 to ensure stability.
Transition from Enclosed to Open Mainnet
Pi Network entered an enclosed Mainnet phase in December 2021, focusing on:
- KYC verification and token migration.
- Developer testing for real-world applications.
- Infrastructure optimization for security and scalability.
During this phase, Pi transactions were limited to the ecosystem, preparing for full external connectivity post-launch.
Open Mainnet Expectations
The Open Network will:
- Enable external transactions, boosting Pi’s liquidity and utility.
- Transition Nodes to Mainnet, ensuring network stability.
- Require KYC/KYB verification for businesses integrating Pi.
