Kuala Lumpur, February 12, 2025 – Pi Network, the widely popular cryptocurrency project boasting over 47 million engaged pioneers worldwide, has announced the long-anticipated launch of its Open Mainnet on February 20, 2025, at 8:00 AM UTC. This pivotal transition ends the Enclosed Mainnet phase that began in December 2021 and marks the start of a new era for the Pi community, enabling full external connectivity and integration with other blockchain networks and systems.
What the Open Network Means for Pi Network Pioneers
During the Enclosed Mainnet phase, Pi Network focused on laying a solid foundation. This included verifying users through the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, developing a robust ecosystem of decentralized apps (dApps), and successfully migrating over 10.14 million wallets to the Mainnet. The Open Network launch will now empower pioneers to interact with external blockchain networks and significantly expand the utility of the Pi cryptocurrency.
Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis, the Co-founder and Head of Technology at Pi Network, expressed his excitement over this monumental milestone:
“The Open Network is a culmination of years of hard work and the collective effort of millions of pioneers. It signifies a new phase in the evolution of Pi Network, where our community-driven cryptocurrency will unlock real-world utility, bridge digital gaps, and continue its mission to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone.”
Pi Network Listed on Major Cryptocurrency Exchange
Adding to the excitement, global cryptocurrency exchange OKX has announced plans to list Pi on its trading platform. Starting February 12, 2025, users can deposit Pi tokens, with spot trading going live on the same day as the Open Network launch—February 20, 2025. This move underscores the growing recognition of Pi Network in the blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Jay Hao, CEO of OKX, remarked:
“The inclusion of Pi on our platform reflects our confidence in its growing adoption and utility. We believe Pi Network has the potential to reshape the cryptocurrency landscape, and we’re excited to provide our users access to this innovative project.”
The Vision Behind Pi Network
Pi Network was founded in 2019 by a group of Stanford University graduates with the mission of creating a more inclusive cryptocurrency ecosystem. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies that require energy-intensive mining, Pi uses a unique consensus algorithm that allows users to mine tokens directly from their smartphones, fostering participation without financial or technical barriers.
Dr. Chengdiao Fan, Co-founder and Head of Product at Pi Network, elaborated:
“Pi Network’s journey has been about creating an ecosystem that combines decentralization, accessibility, and utility. With the Open Network, we’re taking a step closer to our vision of building a truly inclusive digital economy where everyone can participate.”
What’s Next for Pi Network?
The Open Network phase is expected to accelerate Pi’s adoption and drive the development of new dApps and real-world use cases. From e-commerce platforms and decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions to digital payments, the possibilities are endless for how Pi can revolutionize the way we transact, invest, and interact in the digital world.
With a verified user base of over 19 million, Pi Network is already one of the most active blockchain projects globally. The Open Mainnet will further cement its position as a game-changer in the cryptocurrency space.
The Countdown Begins
As the February 20 launch date draws closer, the anticipation within the Pi community is at an all-time high. For pioneers and investors alike, this marks the dawn of a new era—one where Pi Network evolves from a promising concept into a fully realized, accessible, and impactful cryptocurrency platform.
