After years of delays, the wait is finally over – Pi Network’s open mainnet is officially launching. The core team has confirmed that the Tap to Earn Pi Coin Network will go live on February 20, 2025, at 8 AM UTC. This long-anticipated milestone marks a major step forward for Pi, finally allowing it to connect with the broader blockchain ecosystem.
The announcement has sent a wave of excitement through the Pi community, with the coin’s price skyrocketing from $49 to $92 in just hours.
Let’s dive into the details.
Since its launch in 2019, Pi Network has built a strong global community of users, known as Pioneers, who mine Pi tokens on their mobile devices. However, despite its rapid adoption, the transition to an open mainnet faced several delays, pushing the launch from 2024 to 2025.
Now, the network has finally met the key conditions needed for the launch:
With these milestones achieved, the Pi Network open mainnet will officially launch on February 20, 2025, at 8 AM UTC.
The launch of the open network will be a major shift for Pi, allowing it to connect with external blockchain systems for the first time. This will unlock new opportunities for both individual users and businesses, making Pi more functional in real-world transactions.
With an Open Network, Pi’s blockchain will no longer be restricted, enabling transactions beyond its ecosystem. Pioneers will be able to interact with other compliant networks, making Pi more functional in the digital economy.
After launch, the firewall will be removed, allowing nodes to join the Mainnet blockchain. The Core Team will prioritize reliable contributors when transitioning nodes from Testnet to Mainnet.
To ensure a safe environment, Pioneers will be required to do KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, while businesses must complete KYB (Know Your Business) verification. A list of KYB-verified businesses will be available on the Pi website.
Pioneers who haven’t completed KYC or migrated to Mainnet still have the chance to do so, even after the Open Network launch. They are encouraged to use Pi apps through the Pi Browser to help grow the ecosystem and increase Pi’s real-world use.
The Open Network launch is confirmed and will not be delayed by external factors or changing market conditions.
Since the announcement, Pi Coin’s price has surged by 80%, reaching $92 within hours. Meanwhile, experts predict that the official launch of Pi Network could push Pi Coin’s price beyond $100.
After years of anticipation, Pi Network is finally stepping into the real world. Now, all eyes are on what comes next.
