On February 20, 2025, Pi Network launched its Open Network, marking a new stage in the project's development. This event represents a significant technical advancement for millions of users mining Pi coins via mobile devices.
From Enclosed to Open
Pi Network was launched on March 14, 2019, with the aim of democratizing cryptocurrency. The project introduced a novel approach to mining—via a mobile app, which attracted tens of millions of people worldwide. Through its development, the network went through several stages, including a closed Mainnet stage, allowing users to complete verification and transfer mined Pi to the Mainnet. This phase also provided developers time to create applications and utilities.
What is the Open Network?
The Open Network allows users to interact with external systems, transitioning Pi from an experiment to a full-fledged cryptocurrency. This network opening increases decentralization and provides businesses opportunities for integration via KYB. New opportunities arise, such as trading on centralized exchanges and integrating emerging applications.
Ecosystem Takes Flight
The Open Network is a product of meticulous preparation and has become a catalyst for ecosystem growth. Over 100 Mainnet-ready applications are now available in the Pi Browser. These demonstrate Pi's versatility, from social platforms to commerce solutions. Events like PiFest 2025 facilitate Pi's integration into everyday life, strengthening its global presence.
Pi Network's Open Network opens new avenues for users, developers, and businesses, continuing to build an inclusive crypto system. Only time will tell if the project will become one of the most widespread cryptocurrencies, but its potential is undeniable.
