100 Days of Open Network: A Utility-Driven Ecosystem

Pioneers, it has now been over 100 days since the launch of Open Network! The Open Network launch was the culmination of over six years of building Pi Network’s infrastructure and ecosystem, and making sure that its utility was ready for use at launch.

Open Network’s external connectivity unlocked Pi’s thriving ecosystem, innovative applications, and extensive peer-to-peer network for integration with the broader blockchain world. This also allowed businesses to integrate with Pi after passing the KYB business verification process.

Open Network was key to Pi’s mission: to create an inclusive, utility-driven, and widely adopted cryptocurrency that is accessible to anyone. Pioneers around the world—crypto enthusiasts, mainstream ordinary people, and everyone in between—are the driving force behind Pi because Pi is set to solve the problem of mass adoption and real world utility.

In the first 100 days of Open Network, Pi’s ecosystem and utilities have continued to benefit Pioneers and expand. Let’s take a look back at the network’s progress and growth, including key updates on utility.

Pi Network Ventures: Investing $100M in Innovative Startups
Pi Network Ventures, a development initiative of $100 million held in Pi and USD, was launched by the Pi Foundation to strategically invest in startups and businesses, including those that advance the utility, adoption, and real-world impact of Pi.

Its three main objectives are to boost Pi utility, enable more of the world’s production onto Pi Network, and bring Pi to the real world.

By investing in startups and businesses, Pi seeks to empower developers, many of which build, integrate, and innovate with Pi, and bring real-world utility. Pi Network Ventures investments seek out innovators that are focused on globally accessible, community-driven, and economically meaningful projects.

Gaming is a key vertical that Pi Network Ventures will focus on for its investments. Gaming sits at the intersection of several key strengths—social interactions, the attention economy, and virtual goods—and Pi Network Ventures is uniquely positioned to leverage Pi Network to help game developers achieve their goals, which in turn, benefits the Pi ecosystem.

To that end, Pi Network launched FruityPi, a fun fruit-matching game that also demonstrates Pi’s existing gaming utility in action. By integrating with various Pi products and utilities—such as the Pi Ad Network, Pi Wallet, and Pi payments—FruityPi has been used by Pi Network as an early signal of how gaming, with inherently built-in social dynamics and virtual economies, can drive both app-level engagement and broader ecosystem utility at the same time.

PiFest and Expansion of Local Commerce with Pi
Pi Day 2025 was the start of the first PiFest after Open Network, a week-long event that ran from March 14 – March 21, 2025. With Open Network’s external connectivity enabled, PiFest supported Pi-integrated commerce, providing even greater opportunities for merchant use and adoption, and Pioneer engagement, including through seamless transactions on the Pi Mainnet blockchain and through related Pi products. PiFest saw engagement with:

More than 125,000 total registered sellers—including 58,000 active sellers;
Use of the community-built Map of Pi app by over 1.8 million Pioneers; and
Over 45,000 reviews submitted by Pioneers.
The success of PiFest illustrates that Pioneers and businesses are engaged with Pi Network and eager to transact in Pi. This serves to reinforce that Pi Network’s long-term vision of building an inclusive, peer-to-peer ecosystem powered by Pi has been achieved and will continue to expand.

.pi Domains Auction: A New Platform-Level Utility
Pi Day 2025 also introduced .pi Domains Auction, a platform-level utility that harnesses the collective resources of the Pi community—attention, authenticity, and a large community that is ready to transact—and Open Network’s external connectivity to further expand Pi’s role in real-world commerce and digital interactions.

.pi Domains allow individuals, apps, and businesses to bid for and own unique digital identifiers within the Pi ecosystem. .pi Domains already possess clear, immediate, and measurable real-world use cases, as well as practical applications now, which set .pi Domains apart from other virtual property/ownership in less-developed ecosystems.

To date, .pi Domains Auction has received:
Over 123,000 active bids
Over 57,000 unique bidders
Over 69,000 domains with active bids
Active bids consisting of more than 3 million Pi in total during the auction
Ecosystem Interface Updates
The Ecosystem Interface lists qualified Mainnet apps that Pioneers can use. This continues Pi’s mission of empowering Pioneers and developers by providing access to apps and utilities, while providing developers more opportunities to get exposure for their apps. In the first 100 days of Open Network, Pi Network made several updates to the Ecosystem Interface. These included:

Mainnet Ecosystem Application Expanded: Developers who meet the Mainnet app deployment requirements can now apply to add their apps to the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface directly through the Developer Portal without having to wait to be whitelisted.
Improved Ecosystem Interface Design: The Ecosystem Interface design has been updated to improve intuitive navigation of community apps for Pioneers through a cleaner design and improved user experience.
Pi Ad Network Application Expansion to Pi Apps: Pi App developers are now able to apply to join Pi Ad Network. Those that are selected will join the first group of Pi Apps from the pilot program – who are now generating and receiving ad revenue through this program.
New Apps Join the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface: New Pi apps have been added to the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface since Open Network, signaling continued community, user and developer support of Pi Network, and the continued growth of apps across the Pi Ecosystem in the first 100 days since Open Network.
Network Metrics
Here are a few current key metrics that showcase the network’s growth and size:

Over 3 million additional Pioneers were migrated to Mainnet since Open Network, bringing the total to over 13 million Mainnet users.
Over 7.4 billion Pi has been migrated: 5.2 billion Pi locked and 2.20 billion Pi unlocked.
Over 400,000 Nodes are active across the Pi blockchain (Testnet1, Testnet2, and Mainnet).
Pioneers can check out the Pi Blockexplorer to see up-to-date metrics, and read more about Pi’s tokenomics and supply here.

Account security, Mainnet migration, and Mainnet Wallet activation
Since Open Network, Pi continued to support Pioneers through updates to account security and Mainnet migration, and expanded Mainnet accessibility via Mainnet Wallet activation.

Full Phone Number Change for KYC-Verified Pioneers: Pioneers who have passed KYC can now update their full phone number after completing a liveness verification test.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Pi Migration Wallet to Help Ensure Pioneer Account Security: Pioneers are required to complete 2FA to secure and confirm their migration Pi Wallets. For those Pioneers impacted by this requirement, it is required to be completed before their Pi can be successfully migrated to the Mainnet blockchain.
Shifting to Email-Based 2FA: this security measure allows for more accessible, secure and cost-effective verification via trusted emails. Email- based 2FA does not have the limitations of SMS-based verification (i.e. geographic limitations due to telecommunication restrictions, carrier policies, individuals’ service subscriptions, costs, etc.).
Expanding Accessibility to Pi Mainnet Ecosystem Through New Wallet Activation Opportunities: The Mainnet wallet activation feature enables identity-verified Pioneers, including those who are fully KYC’d, as well as most of those who are tentatively KYC’d, and users who have not yet joined Pi Network, to activate their wallet on the Pi Mainnet blockchain. This unblocks their participation in, and broadens the inclusion of, the Pi Mainnet ecosystem.
New Account Recovery Option Now Available: A new flow has been introduced for password resets. This is available for Pioneers that have set up a trusted email for their account. If they have, they can request a password reset, and they will receive a password reset link at the trusted email address, in addition to existing methods of recovery already available to Pioneers.
KYC Updates: Pi Network also resolved various issues that may have blocked some Pioneers from progressing through KYC. These included identification and remediation of small bugs with the process, updates to permit Yoti users to fully complete the process, and addressing issues related to missing data.
Conclusion
Pi’s ecosystem at Open Network is defined by initiatives for apps and utilities, real and practical use cases, and engagement from the Pi community. During the first 100 days of Open Network, Pioneers have demonstrated a widely adopted, utility-based Pi cryptocurrency is here to stay and grow. Pioneers, developers, and businesses should continue engaging and creating on Pi, pushing the network to continue its achievements that benefit the entire ecosystem.

The Design Philosophy of Pi Network: Why It Is Evolving Into a System Where 'Individuals or Nations Cannot Survive Without Adopting It

Pi Network: Redefining the Standard of Digital Survival
No Reward Without Participation – The Rise of Contribution-Based Economies
Rejection Means Isolation: The Birth of a Civilizational Infrastructure
Beyond National Sovereignty: How Pi Is Restructuring the Global Monetary Ecosystem
[ This article includes predictive analysis and may differ from actual outcomes. ]

1. **The Limits and Collapse of the Traditional Economic System**
The conventional, nation-state-centered financial system depends on a pyramidal power structure comprising central banks, commercial banks, and government regulation. This structure exerts control over individual and national economic activities through monetary issuance power, financial infrastructure, and global trade rules. Since the 2008 financial crisis, the deep instability and inequality of this system have become increasingly evident. The global monetary inflation and supply chain collapse post-COVID-19 have driven the system beyond recovery.

Pi Network emerged at this inflection point not merely as a technical innovation but as a **fundamental alternative and civilizational reset tool**, aiming to address the systemic flaws of legacy finance through a decentralized incentive system and a trust-based network.

2. **Pi's Philosophical Structure: Designed for Survival**
Pi is more than a digital currency. It is a **platform that redefines the right to survive in a digital economy**. Its design philosophy centers around the following survival-driven features:

⦿ **Contribution-Based Mining = Economic Prerequisite for Survival**
Pi cannot be earned through speculation or passive investment. All rewards are tied to verifiable contribution and trust, enforcing a structure where “no participation = no reward.” Participants are recognized as economic agents, while non-participants are fundamentally excluded from value acquisition.

⦿ **Digital Identity Economy = New Credential of Civilization**
Pi’s infrastructure is anchored in KYC/KYB-based digital identity verification. It allows anonymity, but not irresponsibility. This ensures **trust, accountability, and transparency in economic transactions**, replacing traditional hierarchical vetting mechanisms.

⦿ **Community-Driven Commerce = Infrastructure Beyond the State**
Through platforms such as Pi Browser and utility apps, Pi builds **commerce and economic interaction tools that are independent of states and large corporations**. This offers new survival pathways to individuals and countries excluded or isolated from traditional systems—while rendering those who reject it increasingly unable to trade or engage economically.

3. **Why Pi's Global Structure Cannot Be Ignored**
Pi’s most strategic strength lies in its **“irreversibility of network effects.”** Once the open mainnet is launched globally and real economic activities commence across hundreds of millions of users, Pi transitions from being an *option* to a *necessity*.

Any nation that rejects or blocks the Pi ecosystem will face the following risks:

* Citizens becoming isolated from international economic participation
* Loss of access to digital assets, remote work, global remittances
* Accelerated capital and talent outflows leading to weakened sovereignty

This applies not only to developing countries but also to **current fiat reserve currency nations**. Pi’s **Global Consensus Value (GCV)** introduces a community-anchored valuation standard that could gradually displace traditional monetary zones.

4. **The Cost of Rejection: Digital Isolation and Inability to Survive**
Individuals who do not integrate into the Pi ecosystem will increasingly lose their place as economic actors in the digital age. They will:

* Be excluded from contribution-based incentives
* Be unable to participate in community commerce
* Fall behind in access to future digital identity and financial tools

The same applies to states. Governments that fail to align with the Pi open mainnet structure will suffer:

* Loss of potential digital asset taxation
* Inability to attract Pi-based capital flows
* Economic marginalization in global value chains
* Brain drain, especially among the digital-native generations

Rejecting the philosophy of Pi will, over time, become **not a conscious choice but a structural collapse**—like cutting off the supply of digital oxygen in a hyperconnected world.

5. **Future Survival Depends on Internalizing Pi’s Philosophy**
In the future global order, both individuals and nations will be judged not merely by economic output but by **how deeply they internalize Pi’s core values: contribution, trust, transparency, and community-driven governance**.

Pi is not just technology—it is a civilization.

And this civilization is not *optional*—it is **evolving into a system where survival without adoption is no longer feasible**.

Summary
Pi Network is not merely a cryptocurrency.
It is a system that **redefines the minimum requirements for economic survival** in the digital era.
Built on contribution and trust, its design leaves no room for passive rejection —
**because rejecting it will soon mean choosing extinction.**

Scott Champions Historic Senate Passage of GENIUS Act
Washington, D.C. – Today, the United States Senate passed the bipartisan Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act – legislation Chairman Tim Scott (R-S.C.) co-sponsored and championed as it advanced through the Senate. The GENIUS Act – which is led by Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and also cosponsored by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), and Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) – establishes a first of its kind regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, protecting consumers and strengthening national security. Under Chairman Scott’s leadership, the bill passed the Senate Banking Committee in March, with every Republican and five Democrats supporting it.

“Today is a bold step forward – not just for financial innovation, but for American leadership, consumer protection, and economic opportunity. With the GENIUS Act, we’re bringing clarity to a sector that’s been clouded by uncertainty and proving that bipartisan, principled leadership can still deliver real results for the American people. This did not happen by accident. It happened because we led – across the aisle and with purpose. I’m especially grateful to Senator Hagerty for his leadership, as well as the hard work of many of my colleagues to get this across the finish line,” said Chairman Scott.

BACKGROUND:
Upon becoming Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Senator Scott pledged to advance a regulatory framework that will provide clarity for the digital assets industry and promote consumer choice, education, and protection. Building on that promise, Chairman Scott created the first-ever Subcommittee on Digital Assets, led by Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.).

In its first legislative markup of the 119th Congress, and after considering nearly 40 amendments to the bill, the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance the GENIUS Act, with every Republican and five Democrats supporting it.

Ahead of the Senate’s vote on the bill, key stakeholders voiced support for the legislation. After the Senate voted to begin consideration of the bill, Chairman Scott issued a statement and spoke on the Senate floor highlighting the importance of passing the bill, noting that the GENIUS Act is the result of months of good-faith, bipartisan negotiations and has benefited from extensive consultation with industry participants, legal and academic experts, and government stakeholders.

Pi Network: A New Civilizational Ethic Beyond Ideology
( Not a technological evolution, but a civilizational shift )
An Age Where Only Contribution and Trust Remain” – The Fall of Left vs. Right, The Rise of Pi
The Birth of the Reputation Economy” – The End of Ideology, The Beginning of Responsibility
Beyond Nation-States, A Community-Based Civilization” – The New Order of the Pi Ecosystem
From Political Division to Consensus Economy” – The Emergence of a Post-Ideological Civilization
[This article includes predictive analysis and may differ from actual outcomes. ]

In the 21st century, humanity has been trapped in recurring conflicts between left and right, capitalism and socialism, democracy and authoritarianism. These ideological frameworks, instead of solving global inequality and mistrust, have often solidified divisions and intensified systemic breakdowns.

Now, the Grand Open Mainnet of the Pi Network signals more than the maturation of a blockchain project — it marks a fundamental shift in the ethical and institutional frameworks of civilization itself.

1. The Collapse of Ideology Through Contribution-Based Systems
In the Pi ecosystem, power is neither elected nor justified by ideology.
Only contribution, participation, trust, and responsibility determine one’s value.
What progressives have long advocated — *equitable distribution** — is now automated through smart contracts.
What conservatives emphasized — *market freedom and efficiency** — emerges organically from a decentralized validator economy.
In this way, both ideological poles find their core values *embodied and harmonized through protocol logic**, rendering ideological battles obsolete.
> Ideology was merely a tool.
> Pi implements the goals of that tool — fairness, collaboration, and sustainability — through technology, making the tool itself unnecessary.

2. A New Standard of Civilization: From Nation-States to Trust Networks
Traditional civilization is structured around the state — power concentrated, enforced by laws, borders, and force.
Pi instead constructs a new kind of governance based on digital reputation and consensus-driven communities.
Instead of central governments, *global verification networks (KYC/KYB, Validators)** establish trust.
Instead of national monetary policies, *the Global Consensus Value (GCV)** becomes the standard for value.
Instead of hierarchical institutions, *contribution-based public infrastructure builders** wield real influence.
This signals a shift from the rule of law to the rule of trust, and from imperial hierarchies to a community-powered civilization.

3. A New Economic Ethic: From Ownership to Contribution, From Accumulation to Circulation
The Pi philosophy does not focus on how much one owns, but on how useful one's contributions are — and how widely they circulate.
Where traditional economics prizes private ownership, asset hoarding, speculative gains, and class-based income, Pi promotes contribution, utility-driven spending, real-time rewards, and even universal-like income structures.
This isn't just an economic model — it is a prototype for a post-national, decentralized digital economy.
Pi’s mechanisms dismantle centralized control of money and create a reputation-driven, trust-anchored community economy.

4. The Reconstruction of Politics: Participatory Governance & Decentralized Ethics
In the Pi ecosystem, politics is not a battle for dominance, but a feedback system for collaborative design and community growth.
Like the ancient Greek agora, but global and digital, this new political space is entirely post-institutional.
Instead of national legislation, we see *community-driven proposals (PIPs: Pi Improvement Proposals)** emerge.
Instead of party politics, *public-value DAOs** drive meaningful decisions and infrastructure.
Ideological disagreement is not a threat, but *a functional input into consensus-building**.

5. Forecast: Ideology Fades, Philosophy Remains
The global expansion of Pi signifies a shift from identity-based politics to value-driven digital citizenship.
> ✅ There is no longer "left" or "right".
> ✅ What exists now is “the responsible contributor” versus “the passive free-rider”, and “builders of public goods” versus “mere extractors.”

The philosophy of Pi can be summarized in four core principles:
1. Trust through Transparency – Trust is created through visible, immutable contracts.
2. Wealth through Utility – Value is born through the usefulness and exchange of services.
3. Equity through Contribution – Fairness is algorithmically rooted in what you give.
4. Sustainability through Community – Lasting systems are community-maintained, not state-enforced.

Conclusion: Pi as the Language of a Post-Ideological Civilization
Pi Network transcends blockchain.
It introduces a new moral programming language, a prototype for digital economics, a trust architecture, and most critically,
a pathway beyond ideological binaries toward a civilization rooted in shared responsibility.
Pi does not challenge ideology.
It renders it irrelevant.
By encoding philosophical values into code,
It restores community as the center of human progress.

The GENIUS Act Meets Pi Network: A Legal Gateway to the GCV-Pegged Digital Economy 🌐💰

Date: June 17, 2025
Today marks a historic leap forward for global digital finance. As the GENIUS Act clears its final Senate hurdle and heads toward the U.S. President’s desk, regulated stablecoin frameworks are becoming law. But beyond Washington’s walls and financial institutions, a decentralized movement is quietly aligning with this global shift—Pi Network.

Backed by millions of pioneers worldwide, Pi Network is building a real-world Web3 economy, and at the heart of that economy is the concept of Global Consensus Value (GCV): a people-powered stable valuation system for Pi coin.

With the GENIUS Act now formalized, we are witnessing a regulatory green light that may empower Pi Network to scale its utility-based, community-driven economy onto the global stage.

🔍 Understanding the GENIUS Act
The GENIUS (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins) Act lays out the first comprehensive federal regulation of stablecoins. It requires:
1:1 fiat or liquid asset backing for issued stablecoins.
State or federal licenses, depending on the issuer’s size.
Annual audits and consumer protections to avoid past failures like TerraUSD.
It is designed to protect users while encouraging innovation in digital payments, legitimizing dollar-pegged tokens for use in commerce, banking, and remittance.

🔁 Pi Network: Not a Traditional Stablecoin, but a New Economic Model
Pi Network has not branded itself as a fiat-backed stablecoin. Instead, it is a closed-loop economy with:
A fixed supply of mined Pi,
A Global Consensus Value (GCV) established by community barter and utility,
Decentralized apps (.pi domain, Pi Commerce, Pi Ads, Pi Workforce, etc.) operating on that internal value.
However, GCV behaves similarly to a stablecoin in practical use:
It maintains purchasing power through community-set value standards (e.g., 1 Pi = $314.159).
It avoids volatility through a peer-driven consensus model.
It supports real-world transactions without formal exchange listings.

💥 How the GENIUS Act Could Supercharge the Pi Network
1. Legal Recognition of Utility Tokens with Stable Behavior
Although Pi is not backed by fiat reserves, its stable transactional behavior via GCV mirrors the purpose of a stablecoin. The GENIUS Act:
Clarifies which tokens are payments vs. securities, giving Pi a chance to define its role legally.
Opens doors for regulatory engagement, should Pi wish to partner or evolve into a hybrid model (e.g., PiGCV as a regulated payment token).

Impact: Pi Network gains legitimacy in building a legal economy based on GCV—one potentially accepted in wider merchant, fintech, or even government integrations.

2. Merchant & Platform Adoption of GCV-Based Pi Payments
With companies like Amazon, Walmart, and Expedia exploring stablecoins, the Pi economy could:
Present GCV-based pricing systems for products and services.
Offer Pi Pay integrations using a stable GCV rate without requiring centralized exchange listing.
Use smart contract platforms for escrow and verifiable payments—well within GENIUS Act boundaries.

Impact: Pi coin becomes viable for broader adoption in Web3 e-commerce, with the Act providing the legal infrastructure for value-stable token commerce.

3. Potential Pi-GCV Stablecoin Variant (PiUSD?)
The Pi Core Team or future Pi DAO could issue a GCV-pegged stablecoin (e.g., PiUSD), fully compliant with GENIUS regulations:
Pegged to the $314.159 GCV using smart contracts and reserves.
Fully auditable and KYC-enforced, aligned with Pi’s user-verified ecosystem.
Usable on regulated exchanges or fiat on-ramps.
Impact: Pi transitions from an internal utility token to a regulated global payment instrument, without sacrificing its decentralized roots.

4. Institutional & Developer Confidence
With the GENIUS Act’s clarity:
Developers and businesses will feel safer building on Pi Network.
Institutions may explore Pi-based stablecoin payments or GCV dApps.
Cross-chain integrations with GENIUS-compliant stablecoins could link Pi with USDC, USDT, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

Impact: The Pi ecosystem becomes a viable player in compliant Web3 economies, moving from experimental to foundational.

🔮 Final Thought: A Gateway to the Utility Era
The GENIUS Act may be a U.S. law, but its global message is clear: stability + regulation = mainstream adoption.
For Pi Network, this is a turning point.
If the Pi Core Team aligns GCV with transparent, audit-ready systems—or collaborates with GENIUS-compliant stablecoin infrastructure—it could:
Bring Pi to global commerce,
Realize the GCV as a global digital standard, and
Lead the transition from speculative crypto to functional digital economy.
The revolution begins not with speculation, but with utility, stability, and human-first innovation. And with today's vote, the world may finally be ready for what Pi has built.

“A Revolutionary Step for Digital Money: GENIUS Act Clears Final Senate Vote, Heads to Trump’s Desk” 🏛️

Date: Tuesday, June 17, 2025
In a landmark moment for digital finance, the U.S. Senate today passed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act in a historic vote, advancing sound regulation for stablecoins and igniting a new era in the crypto-payments landscape. With bipartisan support and the backing of the Trump Administration, the legislation now moves swiftly to the House and, expectedly, to President Trump’s desk for signature—ushering in what many call a revolution for humanity’s financial future.

🔍 What’s the GENIUS Act?
Sponsored in February by Senators Hagerty, Scott, Lummis, Gillibrand, and others, the GENIUS Act aims to establish the first comprehensive federal regulatory regime for stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to stable assets like the U.S. dollar . It sets firm standards including:

Full backing of stablecoin issuance with U.S. dollars or equivalent liquid assets .

Tiered oversight: smaller issuers under $10 billion may remain under state licensing, while those above are federally regulated .

Audits: annual independent audits mandated for issuers with over $50 billion in assets .

Consumer protections: explicit definitions to avoid classifying stablecoins as securities and ensuring prudent reserve requirements .

These provisions aim to prevent future crises like terraUSD or SVB-related depegging events by guaranteeing transparency and accountability .

✅ The Senate Vote & Bipartisan Momentum
After clearing a crucial cloture hurdle just days ago with a 68–30 procedural vote, the Senate moved decisively on final passage today. Sources note that bipartisan cooperation—and strategic amendments addressing lobbying and ethical concerns—helped overcome earlier objections . Senators including Ruben Gallego and others from both parties pushed the bill forward, setting the stage for a definitive Senate endorsement .

🇺🇸 White House Support & Trump’s Role
From the outset, the Trump Administration has championed the GENIUS Act as part of a broader effort to reposition the U.S. as a leader in digital asset innovation . With strong ties to the legislation and vocal encouragement from Trump himself, the momentum is clear: the bill is expected to be signed into law before Congress’s August recess—marking a pivotal turning point in digital finance .

🌐 Implications for Markets & Society
Industry confidence soars: The digital-asset community welcomed the breakthrough, with Circle’s simultaneous NYSE debut reflecting newfound investor optimism .

A crypto‑payments revolution: Giants like Amazon, Walmart, and Expedia are exploring proprietary stablecoins, encouraged by the legal clarity that GENIUS provides .

Guarding stability: With requirements for transparency, compliance with anti-money laundering laws, and audit mandates, the Act mitigates financial stability risks and undeclared liabilities .

🕰️ Next Steps: Into Law
With Senate passage confirmed today, the GENIUS Act moves to the House for final clearance. Given the momentum behind the nearly identical STABLE Act in the House, passage is anticipated mid-summer. President Trump has committed to signing it before the August 2025 Congressional recess .

If enacted, implementing regulations—expected within 180 days—could swiftly bring regulated stablecoins into everyday use, from remittances to merchant transactions.

🧭 A Turning Point for Humanity?
By enshrining stablecoin standards into law, the GENIUS Act may spark a transformation in global finance. It promises to integrate the efficiency of digital payment systems into mainstream commerce—bringing fast, secure, and low-cost currency to billions worldwide. As President Trump prepares to sign the bill, many call this a democratic revolution: a law making digital money stable, lawful, and available to all.

Pi’s Value Has Not Changed — What Changed Was the Entry Fee Into Utility

Liquidity is a tactic — the true value remains hidden.
Why Pi on KYB exchanges is nothing more and nothing less than a means of payment!
The domain is just the beginning — GCV is the ultimate destination.
The bid price may shift, but Pi’s philosophy stands firm.
[ This article contains predictive analysis and may differ from actual outcomes. ]

After the Domain Auction Ends, Pi Will Likely Transition to a Unified GCV-Based System

1. Exchange-Listed Pi Price Is Not Its Real Value
When Pi was listed on KYB (Know Your Business) certified exchanges,
many interpreted it as a sign that Pi’s market value had been established.
But that interpretation fundamentally misreads the situation.
From the beginning, Pi was never meant to be a speculative asset.
It was designed as a community-based currency for contribution and utility use,
not for trading or profit-taking.
Therefore, the price seen on exchanges does not reflect Pi’s true value (GCV) —
it reflects a temporary payment unit to access certain utilities, such as the domain auction.

2. Exchange Price Reflects ‘Domain Bid Unit (Minimum Bid: 10 Pi)’ - (Typical annual domain registration cost: $10 to $35 = 10 Pi )
In early 2025, Pi's exchange price started at around $1.0 to $2.5 per Pi.( 3.41$ : Initial surge post-Open Network launch )

As bidding activity stabilized and domain participation patterns evolved,
this price gradually decreased to the current level of $0.5 to $0.8 per Pi.
This price shift is not a decline in Pi’s value.
Rather, it reflects the Pi Core Team’s initial pricing strategy for domain keyword registration,
which began with a minimum bid of 10 Pi — equivalent to roughly $10 to $25 at the time.

Now that top keyword domains have been claimed, the remaining pool is less competitive,
and the effective access cost has decreased to around $5 to $8,( 0.5$ ~ 0.8$ per Pi )
even though the minimum bid remains at 10 Pi.
So, the exchange price doesn’t represent Pi’s inherent value —
it simply reflects the adjusted entry cost for a utility-based service.

3. The Domain Auction Is Not Just a Product — It’s the Bridge Between Web2 and Web3
The .pi domain auction system is more than a commercial feature —
it’s a strategic bridge between the Web2 internet and the Pi Web3 ecosystem.
Reserved domains become brands, platform URLs, and digital identities in Web3.
Early registration is a form of digital sovereignty and commercial leadership.

To allow broader participation, the Core Team temporarily enabled limited liquidity
by listing Pi on KYB exchanges as a controlled utility access token.
However, this two-tier pricing model per utility is unsustainable at scale,
and the entire ecosystem will eventually require a unified valuation system.

4. Why a GCV-Based Unified System Is Inevitable
Right now, the Pi ecosystem is in a transitional phase before the Grand Open Mainnet.
But several core reasons make a shift to Global Consensus Value (GCV: $314,159 per Pi) inevitable:
Maintaining separate pricing structures per utility is not scalable

The global community needs a unified reference value
A single monetary unit is essential to operate a coherent, trust-based economy

Once the domain auction ends, no utility can independently determine a reliable price
Thus, the end of the domain auction will likely mark the turning point
where the Pi ecosystem transitions fully to a GCV-based unified economy.

Conclusion:
Pi Has Concealed Its True Value and Only Revealed the Entry Cost
“Pi conceals its intrinsic value, and only those who understand it are allowed to open the door.”

The price of Pi on KYB exchanges is not its value

it’s simply the minimum cost of entry into a specific utility (like the domain auction).
This cost — based on 10 Pi minimum bids — will only apply in limited contexts,
and once the broader utility network expands,
all services will need to adopt a single, stable standard: GCV.

🔐 And when that day comes, Pi will be defined as follows:
“A digital currency that can only be earned through contribution,
and never truly owned through greed.”
That is the philosophy envisioned by Pi’s founders.
And it is the future awaiting the network after the domain auction ends —
the dawn of a unified, contribution-based, GCV-powered economy.

.pi Domain Auction Signals Pi Network’s Transition Toward Utility-Centered Web3 Economy

Name Ownership vs. Real Utility — Why Domain Squatting Is a Dead End in Pi Network
From Domains to Digital Economy: The Web3 Blueprint Behind Pi Network’s Infrastructure
.pi Domains Are Not Digital Real Estate — They're Gateways to Real-World Utility
Owning Is Not Enough — Activating Value Through Utility in Pi’s Open Economy
[ This article includes predictive analysis and may differ from actual outcomes. ]

In June 2025, the Pi Core Team released an update titled **“.pi Domains Auction Update and Utility Strategy.”** While the surface-level content revolves around technical improvements—like live statistics and platform refinements—the underlying message reveals a strategic pivot: **shifting focus from speculative domain ownership toward active utility within the Pi ecosystem.**

This article analyzes how this subtle shift marks a decisive movement toward **real-world economic infrastructure**, anchored on functional Web3 identities.

1. The True Nature of .pi: Not Just a Name, But a Functional Gateway
One of the most important lines in the announcement reads:
**“.pi Domains were designed as functional Web3 identifiers—anchors for Pi-powered apps, services, and storefronts.”**
This means that `.pi` domains are not simply digital brand placeholders—they’re **interactive portals** intended for use in Pi-powered apps, merchant sites, decentralized blogs, tools, and services. Their true value emerges **only when they are activated** in live, meaningful use cases.
Thus, `.pi` domains should be seen not as property but as infrastructure—**a user-friendly entry point into Pi’s native Web3 ecosystem.**

2. The Problem with Domain Squatting
The Core Team openly addresses an emerging challenge:
**“A significant number of high-activity bids are focused on domain squatting—whereby bidders seek to obtain domain names associated with major brands, generic terms, or popular phrases.”**

Here’s why this behavior is problematic:
* ❌ **Blocks Real Developers and Community Builders**
– Valuable domain names are taken by speculators, making it harder for genuine builders to secure relevant digital identities.

* ❌ **Stifles Utility Development**
– Domains remain unused, hindering the growth of Pi-powered apps and services.

* ❌ **Contradicts Pi’s Core Philosophy of Fairness and Utility**
– Squatting prioritizes early, aggressive bidders over mission-aligned contributors.
By emphasizing that utility—not ownership—is the goal, the Core Team effectively **delegitimizes speculative behavior** and hints at possible future governance changes.

3. Strategic Forecast: The Role of .pi Domains in Pi’s Grand Open Mainnet
Prediction 1: **Conditional Ownership Based on Utility**
* Domains may be subject to revocation or usage requirements.
* Inactive domains could be reclaimed or penalized unless tied to functioning apps or services.

Prediction 2: **App Creation Tools and Utility Incentives**
* The phrase “solutions…like making app creation more accessible” suggests upcoming **low-code/no-code tools** for building Pi-native applications tied to `.pi` domains.
* This move would empower non-developers to actively participate in the Web3 economy.

Prediction 3: **Reputation and Trust Layer for Domains**
* Active `.pi` domains may receive **reputation scores, trust badges (e.g., Pi Purity Badge), or service ratings** to help users identify credible stores and services in the network.
* Domains could become economic passports in the Pi ecosystem.

4. Bridging Toward the Open Mainnet Economy
Another key passage from the announcement reads:
**“Now that Mainnet wallet accessibility has been significantly expanded, more Pioneers can see and participate in the .pi Domains Auction.”**
This signals that `.pi` domains are becoming integrated with the Mainnet economy. In the Grand Open Mainnet phase, we can expect the following structure to emerge:
[.pi Domain] → [Connected App or Store] → [GCV-Pegged Transactions] → [Pi Circulation on Mainnet]

In this model, `.pi` becomes the **transactional gateway**, enabling a fully internal digital economy without reliance on external markets or speculative liquidity.

Conclusion: .pi Domains Are the Infrastructure of the Next Digital Economy

The .pi domain auction is not merely about acquiring digital names—it is the early phase of building a **utility-driven, decentralized Web3 economy** where identity and service converge.

Key takeaways:
* Domain squatting will likely be discouraged through future utility-based enforcement mechanisms.
* Real value will flow toward those who **use** their domains to contribute to the ecosystem.
* The Grand Open Mainnet will leverage `.pi` domains as economic gateways, solidifying Pi Network’s utility-based philosophy.

Conclusion
As the sun rises over digital skylines, one thing is clear: the future isn’t coming—it’s already here. Pi Network is more than a project; it's a promise. A promise of freedom, inclusion, and abundance.

This June 28, history will remember not just what launched—but who believed.

💜 Welcome to the new era.

🚀 Decentralization Starts With Us: A Global Node Initiative for Pi Network 🌍

As Pi Network boldly moves into the Open Mainnet era, one thing is becoming crystal clear: our mission to build the most inclusive, decentralized digital currency in the world must be matched with infrastructure that spans the globe — not just one region.
Right now, it’s been noted that Vietnam hosts a large share of Pi nodes. While that community has played an incredible role in Pi’s early development, over-concentration in any one country is a risk. Regulatory challenges, political shifts, or localized outages could delay progress for millions.
So here’s the challenge — and the opportunity:

💡 What if Pi Network empowered more Pioneers around the world to run nodes?
Imagine a world where Pioneers in Africa, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and beyond are all actively contributing to Pi’s security, scalability, and resilience — not just by mining on phones, but by running powerful network nodes that move the ecosystem forward.
But we know the reality: not everyone has the tech skills or the right hardware. Some can’t install Docker Daemon. Some lack the resources to keep a machine running 24/7. So what’s the solution?

💥 The Vision: Pay-to-Own Node Hardware, Powered by Pi
Let’s unleash a new wave of decentralization by providing node-ready hardware to verified Pioneers through a global leasing program.
🔹 Low-entry barrier — Pioneers pay in Pi at a discounted mining rate while running the node.
🔹 Ownership incentive — After a certain period, the hardware becomes theirs.
🔹 Fail-safe — If it doesn’t work out, the hardware can be returned, reassigned, or recycled.
🔹 Fully KYC’d — Ensuring only real users contribute to the network’s core.
It’s no different from investing in real estate, energy, or tech infrastructure — except this time, the people own it. It’s not just nodes. It’s a revolution in access.

🌐 Powered by the People. Backed by Pi Ventures.
With $100 million+ already allocated for ecosystem growth via Pi Ventures, this vision is more than possible — it’s inevitable, if the community demands it.
This isn’t about just running software. It’s about giving the world a chance to own a piece of the next financial system — not just as consumers, but as contributors.
The Core Team already proved what’s possible with mobile mining. Now imagine what’s possible when hundreds of thousands of Pioneers across the globe are running secure, reliable nodes — some from hardware Pi Network helped them access.

⚡ The Future Doesn’t Wait. We Build It.

We can’t let regional regulations slow us down.
We can’t rely on one corner of the world to carry the weight of global decentralization.
It’s time for bold solutions. It’s time for infrastructure for everyone.
Let’s build a network so resilient, so global, and so powered by its people that no government, no corporation, no single point of failure can stop it.
