Pi Network News: Mainnet Migration Surpasses 85%

In June 2025, Pi Network reignited the community with a series of technical upgrades and ecological sprinting. With the Mainnet migration speed exceeding 85%, the single-hour processing capacity reached 7,000 transactions, and the “9 Green Nodes” goal entered the ultimate countdown. The global 14 million pioneers, especially users in the Chinese region, are facing a crucial window period for realizing the benefits of the Mainnet—assets that have not completed the migration after 30 days may be delayed for one year in release.

Mainnet technology upgrade: Dual plan acceleration 9 green assessment

On June 7th, Pi Network launched a milestone update:

• “Assessment Progress Navigator” launched: specially designed for the “8 Green 9 Yellow” pioneers, providing real-time visual migration progress, ending the ambiguity and anxiety of progress.
• “Parallel Assessment + AI Intelligent Upgrade” Dual Plan: Simultaneously promoting the assessment of item nine on the checklist and the migration of XiaoShan, achieving an 85% increase in efficiency. The process that originally took several weeks can now be shortened to a few days, especially benefiting users in three categories: 6 Green 7 Purple / 7 Green 8 Purple / 8 Green 9 Yellow.
• Cross-chain protocol upgrade: TPS突破15,000, transaction confirmation speed reaches 2.3 seconds, paving the way for large-scale commercial use.

This upgrade marks the official farewell of Pi Network to the era of “clicking buttons to accelerate” and shifts towards the real ecological construction based on daily action contributions.

Security Alert: Official Urgent Phishing Risk Warning

As migration accelerates, security threats are upgrading simultaneously:

• The surge of high-fake phishing pages: scammers are luring users to input their mnemonic phrases on unofficial interfaces, leading to multiple incidents of Mainnet asset theft (losses are irreversible).
• Official Emergency Notice: On June 6, the Pi Core team emphasized through Channel X: the only safe entry is the “Little Flash Browser” navigation bar, and all external links carry risks. Users must recognize the official page marked with a purple logo.
• KYC and Security Circle Strengthening: Block fake accounts through social trust layers (security circles) and AI verification, laying the foundation for compliant payment scenarios.

Ecosystem and Market

Despite 4 million users exiting, Pi Network shows resilient growth:

• User base conversion against the trend: In June, the basic growth rate increased by 0.88%, and the steadfast users entered the “golden accumulation period”. Over 14 million pioneers in the Chinese region completed the Mainnet mapping, and assets can be activated two weeks later.
• dApp ecosystem explosion: Over 100 applications have connected to the Mainnet, covering scenarios such as e-commerce (1Pi Mall), freelancing (Workforce Pool), and payment navigation (Map of Pi). Newly launched platforms like the meme coin issuance tool Piepump.fun and the game Fruity Pie further expand usability.
• Merchants adopting grassroots: Regional small merchants such as Indonesian food vendors and Vietnamese telecom service providers are the first to accept Pi payments. Although a global market has not yet formed, it validates the “community trust-driven” payment model.

Price volatility: Token unlock causes selling pressure

The market performance of Pi Coin has been fluctuating recently:

• Unlocking Tide Impact Price: On May 11, 8 million PI were unlocked, causing the price to plummet by 25%. On May 15, another 13 million are expected to be unlocked, increasing market selling pressure. As of June, the PI price hovers around $0.74 (down 75% from the historical high of $2.98).
• Exchange Compliance Game: It has already been listed on mainstream exchanges such as Gate, but there are still many mainstream exchanges that have not listed PI coin. The core conflict lies in the Pi team’s requirement for exchanges to implement strict KYB processes, which conflicts with the rapid listing strategies of some platforms.
• Long-term deflationary design: Out of a total supply of 100 billion tokens, 80% is allocated to the community. Currently, 53.1 billion tokens have been produced during the pre-mining phase, leaving only 11.8 billion tokens left to mine, gradually highlighting its scarcity.

Future Outlook: The Transformation Journey from Community Experiment to Payment Network

The vision of Pi Network is undergoing critical validation:

• New options for sovereign countries: Against the backdrop of fiat currency devaluation, some developing countries are exploring the use of Pi as a reserve asset or CBDC bridge to hedge against inflation risks.
• Payment Track Breakthrough Battle: If it can connect DeFi protocols (such as lending, DEX) with mainstream cross-chain bridges by 2025, Pi is expected to upgrade from a “cryptocurrency barter system” to a real payment network.
• 2030 Value Anchor Point: Analysts predict that if the number of ecological applications exceeds 1,000 and users reach 100 million, the price of PI may stabilize in the range of $20 - $30.

Conclusion

In 2025, Pi Network finally shed its “experimental project” label. The three driving forces of the open Mainnet launch, the implementation of a compliance framework, and the explosion of the dApp ecosystem are transforming the social consensus of 60 million users into real economic value. Although price volatility and security challenges persist, its original intention of “democratizing mobile mining” and gradual compliance strategy have laid the foundation for Web3 Mass adoption provides a rare template. As a Vietnamese pioneer commented at PiFest 2025: “We do not get lost in the noise of a bull market, but rebuild trust with every scan-to-pay transaction.”
