So, is Pi going open source next month?

Fact Check: Pi Going Open Source in September 2025?

Lack of Official Confirmation

As of now, no update from the Pi Core Team on minepi.com or their verified social media accounts confirms the central node shutdown or full open-source transition. The lack of an official blog post, or press release, suggests the move is either in progress or speculative.

Core Protocol Access

Meanwhile, both the X post and web articles emphasize that while PIOS enables open-source app development, the blockchain’s core protocol remains inaccessible to the public

Is Pi Already Open Source?

Not yet. The Pi team says they are working to release their code to the public, but as of today, the code is not open source. Many in the community, as well as Pi news blogs and moderators like Shah Rah π, expect the code to be available in September.

However, as of August 4, 2025, the full source code hasn’t yet been published for everyone to see.
