Pi Day, coinciding with the mathematical symbol π, became a symbol of Pi Network's development and achievements. Launched on March 14, 2019, Pi Day marks a milestone in the project's development, reflecting its progression towards the Open Mainnet.
The Beginning: Pi Day 2019
March 14, 2019, marks the birth of Pi Network. Founders, Stanford graduates Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdiao Fan, envisioned a project to make cryptocurrency mining accessible via mobile devices, bypassing energy-intensive requirements. A three-phase roadmap was introduced, featuring a mobile mining app, testnet phase, and final Mainnet integration. Pioneers could mine Pi coins by interacting with the app daily. Since then, it has garnered the attention of millions of users.
Timeline of Pi Day Milestones
Pi Day 2020 marked network growth with over a million users and another halving of mining rewards. By 2021, the network introduced a testnet and SCP protocol. In 2022, an enclosed Mainnet was introduced with ongoing migrations. 2023 saw the rise of dApps, and 2024's updates set the stage for Open Mainnet debut.
Pi Day 2025: What to Expect
Pi Day 2025 might focus on Open Mainnet achievements, performance improvements, and long-term development strategies. Community events and initiatives that promote real-world use of Pi are anticipated, capturing the celebratory spirit of Pi Day.
March 14 symbolizes a day of reflection for Pi Network, marking a memorable event in its development journey. From its inception in 2019 to the present day, Pi Network has evolved through Open Mainnet, forming a multi-million user community and integrating with real-world economic platforms.
