Conclusion:

✅ Pi Network has its own blockchain and does not run on the Stellar network.
✅ Pi only adopts the SCP consensus technology, not using the Stellar blockchain.
✅ All Pi transactions are recorded on Pi's own blockchain, not on the Stellar network.

So, Pi is not part of Stellar, but only adopts its consensus mechanism to improve the efficiency and scalability of their network.
