1. “Yes, But Where’s the Roadmap?”$ETH

Many users expressed enthusiasm about a global Mainnet launch—but wanted clarity first. The biggest ask? A detailed, public roadmap.

"Enough with the mystery," wrote CryptoCadet7. "We need transparency. No more vague promises."

Another user, MinaPiNode, said they’ve been running a node for over a year but feel like they're operating “in the dark.” For many, the excitement is being dulled by the lack of structured updates from the core team.

2. Node Operators Feel Undervalued

Node operators—once considered the backbone of the project—say they’re starting to feel ignored.

"Thousands of us are maintaining uptime, securing the network, but we still have no clear role post-Mainnet," said Jahlil_0xPi.

There’s growing concern that once the Mainnet goes global, early contributors might get left behind in favor of scalability and profit.$BTC

3. Fear of Centralized Control Is Growing

Decentralization was one of Pi’s core promises. But some users are questioning whether it's being upheld.

“The foundation still controls everything,” said CryptoChai88. “What kind of decentralized network launches with one entity holding all the keys?”

Others pointed out that the decision-making process feels top-down, and if that continues after Mainnet, it could kill long-term trust.

4. The Hype is Still Very Real

Despite the skepticism, the buzz around a full Mainnet launch hasn’t faded.

"This is what we’ve been waiting for,” said user RachelMinesPi. “Global Mainnet = real utility."

Another, Loopminer23, echoed the sentiment: “It’s finally happening. Pi$BNB

will prove the doubters wrong.” Emojis, fireworks, and countdowns filled the replies.

5. Real-World Utility Remains the Litmus Test

One recurring comment was simple: “Will Pi be usable in real life?”

Some cited pilot marketplaces and merchant trials as promising signs. Others were more cautious.#BinanceAlphaAlert

“We need actual use cases, not just hype or trading,” said ThinkOrPi. “If Pi launches Mainnet and still can’t buy coffee, then what’s the point?”

Real adoption, many argue, will be the final measure of success—not just Mainnet status or exchange listings.#MyCOSTrade
