No More Central Control: Pi Network Takes Bold
Decentralization Leap Before Consensus 2025
May 14, 2025 — Pi Network has officially shut down its central node, marking a big step toward decentralization. The move comes right before the Consensus 2025 event in Toronto, where the team plans to reveal its source code.
This development addresses long-standing concerns about Pi’s centralized control and aims to boost transparency and community trust. The core team’s shift aligns with Pi’s mission to become a fully decentralized Layer-1 blockchain using its Improved Proof of Stake (IPoS) system.
With over 100 million users, Pi Network’s next goal is to silence skeptics and prove its legitimacy. More announcements are expected on May 15 and 16, including a keynote by co-founder Dr. Nicolas.
Key Takeaway:
Pi Network is making bold moves toward decentralization, with the central node shutdown and upcoming source code release set to define its future.
