A fun and viral classification system is circulating online, categorizing Pi Coin holders into playful sea creatures based on how much Pi Coin they’ve mined. From Shrimp to Humpback, this new system has sparked excitement among Pioneers—and it might just change how you see your Pi Network holdings.
In a lighthearted post on X (formerly Twitter), Pi Network’s co-founder Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis shared a unique classification system for Pi holders.
Inspired by sea creatures, the ranking assigns each user a category based on their Pi Coin balance. The aim? To boost community engagement as Pi Network gears up for major developments in its decentralized ecosystem.
This whimsical ranking has quickly become a talking point within the Pi Network community and is even being adopted as a badge of pride among users.
Analysts estimate that around 70% of Pi Network users hold less than 1 Pi Coin, placing them in the Shrimp category. This high concentration of smaller holders highlights how early many users still are in their Pi mining journey.
Meanwhile, the top 100 wallets control over 96% of the Pi Coin supply, although that includes burn addresses and liquidity pools. So while Whales and Humpbacks hold most of the Pi Network’s circulating supply, they make up only a tiny fraction of the user base.
As Pi Network prepares for mainnet migration and potential exchange listings, understanding holder distribution becomes crucial. If most users are still Shrimp, this suggests mass adoption is still in progress—and that larger holders could impact Pi Network price significantly during initial trading.
This fun classification might not be official, but it’s clearly uniting Pioneers and adding a viral spark to the Pi community.
Whether you’re a proud Shrimp or an elusive Humpback, this ranking system is more than just a joke—it’s a community-driven effort to build excitement and identity within the Pi ecosystem. With Pi Coin possibly approaching its next big milestone, every sea creature in the ocean of Pioneers is watching closely.
You can check your Pi Coin balance within the Pi Network app. Once you have passed KYC and your Pi Transferable Balance is migrated to the Mainnet blockchain, your balance will be visible in your Pi Wallet. This balance determines your sea creature rank based on the shared classification system.
While the sea creature ranking is primarily for community engagement and pride, being a “Whale” or “Humpback” signifies a large Pi holding. This could potentially translate to more significant influence within the Pi ecosystem, increased visibility, and a greater share if/when Pi gains substantial market value or undergoes exchange listings.
To move up from “Shrimp” to a higher rank in Pi Network, you need to accumulate more Pi Coins. This is primarily done through active mobile mining (checking in daily), inviting new users to your referral team, building a strong security circle, engaging with Pi apps, and running a Pi Node, all of which boost your mining rate.
If you transfer or lose some of your Pi Coins, your total balance will decrease. Consequently, your sea creature rank will adjust downwards to reflect your new, lower Pi Coin holding. The ranking system is directly based on your current Pi Coin balance, so any change in your balance will affect your assigned category.
