Pi Network is moving towards launching its Open Network mainnet, targeting implementation in Q1 2025 despite previous delays and community skepticism.
The Origins of Pi Network
Pi Network emerged in 2019 with a vision set by Stanford-educated founders to make cryptocurrency mining accessible to everyone via mobile phones. This democratization of crypto mining captivated the imagination of millions, creating one of the largest communities in the cryptocurrency space.
Q1 2025 Launch Target
According to Pi Network's latest official communications, the Open Network mainnet is scheduled for Q1 2025. Recent project communications have reaffirmed this target despite other ongoing ecosystem developments.
A History of Delays and Extensions
The Pi Network community's skepticism about launch dates stems from multiple delays and extensions in the project's development. The 'Grace Period' has been extended three times, undermining some community members' confidence in meeting announced deadlines. Uncertainty in the team's previous communications about launch timing also adds to the concerns.
Pi Network targets Q1 2025 for their Open Network mainnet launch, but the history of delays and extensions raises doubts among some community members about the feasibility of achieving this long-awaited milestone.
