Pi Network (PI)

NEW: $Pi Network has updated its Launchpad based on feedback from 478,000+ Pioneers who participated in the first Testnet token launch. A new Testnet token, SLICE, is now live to further test the improved Launchpad ahead of future ecosystem launches. https://t.co/CyAW08iKow

My view still has not changed. #Pi and #Worldcoin are creating a new category. At the same time, they may be rivals, but they may also become companion projects that change how people think about proof of humanity. Whenever I see people ignoring projects like this, I actually feel relieved. It makes me think, “We are still not too late.” In the future, proof of humanity will likely become necessary for almost every Zoom meeting and KYCed social media platform. #Pi #PiNetwork #WLD #파이 #파이코인 #월드

In Pi, not everyone can issue a token. In Pi, not just any exchange can list Pi. In Pi, not anyone can launch a Pi app on Mainnet. Some people may complain that this is too centralized. But maybe this is one of the reasons why Pi has survived until now. Among the many free-mining coins that appeared over the years, how many still have real value today? Only Pi has truly survived. Of course, as time goes on, Pi may slowly give more freedom and autonomy to the ecosystem. But for now, Pi will probably continue to build its ecosystem mainly around approved apps and controlled processes. #Pi #pinetwork #Picoin #파이 #파이코인

We need to understand Pi’s strategy from a bigger perspective. To be honest, Pi does not need hundreds of thousands of nodes just to run its blockchain ledger. Like Stellar, an SCP-based blockchain can run safely and efficiently with only dozens or hundreds of validator-level nodes. But Pi is different. Because of its massive community, hundreds of thousands of Pioneers have been voluntarily running Pi Nodes on the Testnet. And I believe the Core Team does not want to use this huge computing resource only for basic blockchain validation. They are trying to expand it toward AI-related collaboration. We already saw Pi Nodes being used for experiments with OpenMind and other AI-related testing. Also, the Core Team has shared their vision with AI companies at events like Consensus 2026. And there is another important point. For many AI startups, using a huge community and large computing resources usually requires a lot of cash in the early stage. But on Pi, startups may be able to use the power of the Pi community and Pi Nodes by issuing tokens instead of spending a large amount of cash upfront. Of course, this will likely happen through Pi Launchpad. A startup can present its vision on Pi, issue its own token, attract the attention of many Pioneers, and use that attention to build early momentum and funding. Of course, I think it is a good thing that the Pi Core Team is designing this system with a somewhat centralized algorithm, so rug pulls can be prevented as much as possible. Anyway, the most important thing is the first successful case. If the first Launchpad token receives huge attention and many Pioneers want to participate, then not only that project, but also other startups watching from outside may become interested in the Pi ecosystem. That is why the Core Team is making the Launchpad participation process easier, more intuitive, and more familiar for users. They already tested it with the IRRA test token, and they found many things that needed improvement. So this is not just “delaying.” To me, this shows that the Core Team has a real vision and is preparing carefully. They are not trying to launch something roughly. They are trying to create one real successful case. We need to understand why Pi has far more nodes than it technically needs. We need to understand why the Core Team is still giving Pi mining bonuses to people who run these nodes. We need to understand why they keep testing these nodes with startups and AI-related projects. We need to understand what kind of benefits could attract companies into the Pi ecosystem. And most importantly, we need to understand that Pi itself is being designed to become part of this system. Also, in this current bear market, this may actually be the right timing to improve the system slowly and make it stronger, instead of rushing. If we understand all of this from a bigger perspective, the recent updates do not look boring anymore. Instead, we can see that the Core Team’s actions and updates are all connected to a bigger long-term strategy. @PiCoreTeam @nkokkalis #pinetwork #pinodes #picoin #파이코인 #파이 #파이노드

This monthly chart shows the altcoin market. In many ways, it also shows where we are right now. I hope people do not get too easily shaken by what others say around them. During a not bad market or early open network period, some Pi influencers shout things like, “Pi is working with a bank!” or “1 Pi will be fixed at 314,159 because it is written in the code!” or “Pi will be used by some country or major company!” But in a bear market like this, those same people suddenly start saying, “Pi upgraded its protocol, but nothing changed!” or “Token testing is still going on, and the DEX is still not released!” Then they become busy blaming something or someone. When you truly understand this market, their behavior patterns, their lack of patience, and the fact that they often do not have deep knowledge about what they are talking about, do we really need to be shaken by their words? I personally think the real Pi influencers are the ones who continue to test and share Pi apps even now. And later, when the bull market comes and Pi’s price also reacts, they will probably still be doing the same thing calmly — testing Pi apps, sharing real experiences, and helping the community use the ecosystem. Those are the real Pi influencers, in my opinion. Even during a bull market, they will warn people not to fall for fake news and exaggerated stories. They will also remind the community that bull markets are short, and that we should always be ready for a possible downturn. I will save this post and read it again from time to time in the future. #Pi #PiNetwork #Picoin #파이 #파이코인

The reason we support Pi and don’t sell it is because we believe Pi’s price will rise in the future. Even if you criticize Pi, isn’t that what you also believe deep down? We just don’t know exactly when that moment will come. #pi #pinetwork #파이 #파이코인
