#PiNetwork Is Pi Network Going Fully Open Source in September 2025? Here's What We Know
The Pi Network community is buzzing with speculation as September 2025 approaches. With hopes high around the long-awaited mainnet launch and fresh ecosystem updates, many are asking: Is Pi Network finally going open source next month?
Where Did the Claim Start?
The rumor gained traction after several Pi community moderators, notably Shah Rah π, hinted at a possible open-source release. On X (formerly Twitter), Shah Rah π shared that “Pi Network open source may be realized around September!”—accompanied by a simple FAQ image outlining what this could mean for developers and users alike.
Fact Check: Is Pi Really Going Open Source?
No Official Confirmation (Yet):
As of August 4, 2025, there has been no formal announcement from the Pi Core Team via their official website (minepi.com) or verified social media channels. There's no blog post or press release confirming a full open-source transition or the shutdown of the central node.
What About PIOS?
While PIOS (Pi Open Source) already allows open-source app development within the ecosystem, it does not provide access to the blockchain’s core protocol. The most sensitive parts of the network remain under wraps—for now.
Is Pi Network Already Open Source?
Not fully. Although the Pi Core Team has expressed intentions to open source the project, the complete codebase is still unavailable to the public. Many within the community, including trusted moderators and Pi news blogs, remain optimistic that the transition could happen in September. But for now, it’s still speculation.
I believe in the Pi Network Ecosystem as the PCT is working tirelessly to make our pioneer dreams come true.
the Project is not a mere project. it's a lifetime foundation for years to come.
Bottom Line
Until there’s a direct statement from the Pi Core Team, claims about Pi Network going fully open source in September 2025 should be treated as unconfirmed. The excitement is real—but so is the need for caution.
