Pi Network has scheduled the Mainnet opening for February 20, 2025. This event will enable connection to external blockchains, broadening the current use of the Pi token.
Pi Network's Path to Open Network
Pi Network's journey has included several key phases: the Enclosed Network since December 2021, where the Mainnet was restricted from external networks, the Grace Period starting July 1, 2024, and the Open Network phase that will begin on February 20, 2025.
Expectations from Open Network
Expected changes include connectivity with external blockchains, node expansion, business and compliance integration, and the expansion of the application ecosystem.
Challenges and Community Skepticism
Some community members remain skeptical due to past delays, although Pi Network claims that all conditions have been met and there will be no further delays.
Pi Network is preparing for significant expansion of connectivity with other blockchains, which could lead to broader adoption and increase in the influence of their cryptocurrency.
