The Pi Mining Mechanism
The Pi mining mechanism is designed to expand its decentralization, utilities, stability, and longevity, in addition to growth, inclusion and security.
Pi’s mining rewards are distributed based on an issuance formula that follows a declining exponential decay model defined in the Pi Whitepaper. Pioneers can increase the amount of mining rewards they receive based on their individual contributions to the network, like Security Circles, using utility-based Pi apps, running Nodes, etc. For each month, the amount of Pi to be distributed as mobile balance is capped and determined by the model, regardless of how many people or how many types of mining rewards there are during the month. The capping is achieved by the design of a system-wide base mining rate, and each type of mining rewards to each individual are just a multiplier of this base mining rate. As the monthly supplies always diminish, the base mining rate generally decreases over time.
Conclusion
The network is dedicated to completing Mainnet migration for all real, verified and honest Pioneers as soon as possible while ensuring accuracy, security and integrity of the network. Pi’s tokenomics are designed to align long-term network growth with real contributions from the community, ensuring that the issuance model remains fair, progress-driven, and grounded in actual participation.
