Pi Network's Long-Awaited Open Network Arrives
Pi Network hit a massive milestone on February 20, 2025. The firewall came down. Trading began. The Open Network was born! 🚀
This moment changed everything. Finally, after years of waiting, Pi connected to the outside world.
Pi's story isn't new. It kicked off back in March 2019. A simple mobile app. Mining crypto without burning electricity. No fancy hardware needed.
The path wasn't straight. Beta testing ran from 2019 to 2021. Users poured in. The concept proved itself—kind of. Then came the Testnet years (2021-2023). Blockchain infrastructure grew. Apps emerged. Not everything worked perfectly.
December 2021 brought the Enclosed Mainnet. Transactions happened, but only inside the Pi garden. The walls stayed up. Until now.
Some impressive numbers made this launch possible. Over 10 million Pioneers moved to mainnet. KYC verification hit 19 million. And at launch? More than 100 applications ready to go.
Launch day was wild. Pi opened around $1.47. Shot up to $2.10. That's a 45% jump! Then reality set in. Price settled near $1.01. Early miners cashed out. Can't blame them. Trading volume exploded—like, 1,700% increase. Crazy stuff. 📊
For the faithful miners, years of patience finally paid off. Their tokens had real value. Not theoretical. Real. But there's a catch. No KYC? No party. New folks can still join though. Complete verification. Use the apps. Buy tokens. Help the network.
Seven months later, Pi keeps growing. Pi2Day on June 28 (cute math reference) brought exciting announcements. The focus seems clear: make Pi useful in the real world.
New apps are coming. 💻 Merchants are signing up. Business systems are connecting. Partnerships forming.
PiFest 2024 showed promise. Over 27,000 sellers. Across 160 countries! That's a solid foundation.
The numbers tell a story: maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, with about 9.7 billion currently out there. Pi might be one of the most accessible crypto systems around.
February's launch wasn't an endpoint. It's not entirely clear where this goes next. The journey just shifted gears. The real impact? We'll see that unfold over the coming years. 🌕
