The excitement intensified after Pi Core Team shut down its central node and hinted at releasing the source code, steps seen as essential for full decentralization.

Tensions Over Token Access
Despite the hype, user frustrations are mounting. Pi Coin’s unofficial price dropped 15% in 24 hours, and users still can’t fully access or transfer their tokens. Many blame the delayed Open Network progress and limited transparency. Chinese users, in particular, have criticized the project’s centralization and broken promises.
Can Pi Deliver on Its Promise?
While Pi Network showcases zero-fee transactions and a mobile-first Web3 model, its credibility now hinges on delivering actual utility. With top names like Michael Saylor, Vitalik Buterin, and Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis attending Consensus, the stage is set. But the question remains: will Pi finally take off or fall flat under pressure? Well, we have to wait and watch. Right now, all eyes are on today’s event. This could be Pi’s breakout, or its biggest test yet.
