Evolution of the Pi Network mainnet

• Beta phase (2019): launch of the mobile app and test network on smartphone.

• Testnet (2020): deployment of the distributed network to test the blockchain.

• Enclosed mainnet (Dec. 2021 – Feb. 2025): active blockchain, but isolated and undergoing KYC verification.

• Open mainnet (February 20, 2025): full opening, transfers to external wallets, listings on exchanges, deployable dApps.

• Post-launch progress: more than 3 million "Pioneers" have migrated, 400,000 active nodes, but concerns about centralization, token distribution, and governance.

🔍 Key points: open mainnet launched in February 2025; enhanced utility with transfers and dApps; rapid adoption but challenges in decentralization.
