Pi Network has become one of the most discussed crypto platforms in the DeFi industry, transitioning to the Open Network phase and offering new opportunities for usage.
PI Token Supply and Allocations
According to the original 2019 whitepaper, Pi Network's total emission is 100 billion tokens. The allocation is as follows: Community (80 billion PI), including mining rewards, referral bonuses, and network incentives, and Core Team (20 billion PI), funding infrastructure and strategic initiatives.
Deflationary Mechanism
The cornerstone of Pi's tokenomics is its deflationary mechanism, designed to maintain supply and demand balance. The base mining rate decreases as the network scales, triggered by community milestones such as 1 million, 5 million, and 10 million users.
PI Tokenomics and Utility
With the launch of the Open Network, Pi Network has transitioned to a functional asset on exchanges. The platform supports events and initiatives that encourage real usage of PI, such as Pifest and the auction of domain names using PI tokens.
Despite its achievements, Pi's tokenomics faces questions about transparency and future changes. Success depends on adoption and trust, as well as whether dApps and infrastructure can support usage growth.
