Pi Network
About Pi Network
Pi Network is a blockchain project that aims to make cryptocurrency mining accessible to the general public through mobile devices. Unlike traditional mining, which requires significant computing power, Pi Network’s system allows users to mine Pi (PI) on their smartphones without consuming excessive energy. Founded by Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdiao Fan, the network aspires to create an ecosystem where Pi functions as a medium of exchange for various transactions.
Pi Network is a blockchain project designed to enable users to participate in a digital currency network through their mobile devices. Instead of traditional mining, which relies on computational power, Pi Network allows users to earn Pi (PI) by engaging with the network through a trust-based consensus mechanism.
The network is inspired by the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) and operates without proof-of-work (PoW). Users, known as Pioneers, form security circles to verify transactions and contribute to network security.
Pi Network is also being developed as a platform for decentralised applications (dApps), aiming to create a digital economy where users can exchange goods and services using Pi. The project is currently in a closed mainnet phase, with plans to transition to an open network expected in 2025.
- Mobile-Based Participation – Users engage with the network to earn Pi through a low-energy consensus model.
- Trust-Based Validation – Security circles replace proof-of-work, with users verifying each other to maintain network integrity.
- dApp Ecosystem – Pi is intended to serve as the currency for decentralised applications within its ecosystem.
- Gradual Decentralisation – The network is currently in a closed mainnet phase, with plans to transition to full decentralisation in 2025.
