On February 20, 2025, Pi Network officially launched its Open Network, marking a pivotal moment in its six-year development. This shift transitions the mobile mining blockchain from a closed system to open interaction with external networks.
From Enclosed to Open: The Evolution of Pi Network
Launched on Pi Day 2019, Pi Network aimed to democratize cryptocurrency via mobile app mining. The project attracted tens of millions of global users due to its accessibility and simplicity. Key phases included initial beta, testnet, and an Enclosed Mainnet, where users could undergo verification and prepare for network expansion.
What is the Open Network?
The Open Network allows users to operate beyond Pi's ecosystem, enabling real-world transactions and external system interactions. The platform supports decentralized infrastructure and business integration through KYB verification. Users can trade tokens on exchanges like OKX.
Ecosystem Takes Flight
Over 100 apps are now available on Pi Browser, showcasing ecosystem readiness. Highlights include social platforms and commerce solutions. This new stage promises further expansion, connecting a wider audience and businesses to the digital economy powered by Pi blockchain.
The launch of the Open Network marks a new chapter for Pi Network. With active community and developer support, the network will continue to evolve, offering new ways to engage in the Web3 world.
