An analyst Is Proposing Pi Network Visa Cord Enablement:

Pi Network Visa Card – Ecosystem Proposal

1. Core Concept

A Visa-branded debit card connected to a user’s Pi Wallet that allows seamless real-time conversion of 𝛑 into fiat at the point of sale — only when a purchase is made. This keeps 𝛑 within the ecosystem until needed and eliminates the need to sell on exchanges.

2. Key Features

A. Direct Pi Wallet Integration

•Card links to user’s mainnet Pi wallet.

•Real-time balance check before any transaction.

•No need to preload fiat—Pi is converted only when spending.

B. Instant Conversion Gateway

•A Pi-to-fiat conversion layer, maintained by ecosystem liquidity pools or regulated crypto banking partners.

•Conversion uses ecosystem value or market price, depending on merchant type (more on this below).

C. Dual Merchant Pathways

1.Pi-Ecosystem Merchants (like Pi-powered stores or apps):

•No conversion needed.

•Full 𝛑 transfer directly.

•Lower fees, rewards possible.

2.External Fiat Merchants:

•Real-time conversion via integrated Pi gateway.

•Fee applied for off-ecosystem transactions.

D. Lockup-Aware Spending

•Only unlocked Pi is spendable.

•Option to auto-unlock future vesting Pi for larger transactions, depending on user consent.

3. Security & Compliance

•KYB/KYC integration via Pi’s native system (already used for node and wallet verification).

•2FA for large purchases.

•Card freezes via the Pi App.

4. Incentives for Adoption

•Cashback in 𝛑 for Pi ecosystem purchases.

•Discounts for merchants accepting Pi directly.

•Rewards program tied to Pi utilities or apps.

5. Tech & Issuing Partners

•Partner with crypto-friendly banks or fintechs (e.g., Wirex, Coinbase Card infrastructure, or a Pi-native banking service).

•Secure regulatory licenses in regions where Pi usage is growing (Africa, Asia, LATAM, etc.).

6. Ecosystem Benefits

•Reduces selling pressure on exchanges.

•Drives real-world demand for Pi.
