Introduction
The Pi Network has witnessed significant growth, amassing millions of pioneers worldwide. Despite this, one of the most critical challenges that Pi faces today is its lack of liquidity in the broader cryptocurrency market. Pi’s value is currently constrained by the limitations imposed by centralized exchanges (CEXs) that list Pi tokens without allowing true liquidity access, and the absence of decentralized liquidity solutions that could empower the community while providing real market-driven price discovery.
This proposal outlines a strategy for the Pi Core Team to create a hybrid liquidity solution — combining decentralized liquidity pools (LPs) with CEX listings — to unlock the full potential of the Pi Network. The goal is to enable pioneers to use their Pi tokens actively within a functioning, decentralized market, while also allowing for price discovery and growth in a controlled manner.
Current Situation: Pi on CEXs with No Real Liquidity
Currently, Pi is listed on various CEXs such as MEXC, where the price is artificially set at around $0.6. This price does not reflect true market conditions for the following reasons:
Pi listed on CEXs is typically in the form of synthetic Pi tokens that are not backed by the real Pi network.
Pi can neither be deposited nor withdrawn to/from the main Pi blockchain.No active liquidity exists, leading to speculative trading rather than true price discovery based on supply and demand.
As a result, Pi's price on CEXs is driven by speculation rather than actual market forces, and pioneers are unable to access or utilize their tokens effectively. This stagnation creates a barrier for both Pi's growth as a usable currency and its potential to enter into the larger DeFi ecosystem.
Proposed Solution: A Hybrid Liquidity Model
To address this challenge, we propose the development of a hybrid liquidity solution that includes both decentralized liquidity pools (LPs) and centralized exchange listings. This solution will provide real market value for Pi, unlock DeFi potential, and ensure pioneers can actively participate in Pi’s ecosystem.
Key Components of the Proposal
Decentralized Liquidity Pools (LPs)Pi tokens would be made available on popular decentralized exchanges (DEXs) such as Uniswap or PancakeSwap.Community members can provide liquidity to these pools by pairing Pi with stablecoins like USDT or USDC.Liquidity providers (LPs) would earn transaction fees and rewards, encouraging long-term engagement and token lock-up.This model ensures true price discovery, with Pi's value being determined by real market dynamics, rather than speculative trading.CEX Listings for Exposure and Price DiscoveryPi would continue to be listed on reputable centralized exchanges (CEXs) such as MEXC, Binance, or KuCoin, but only with controlled liquidity.CEX listings would offer Pi the visibility needed to increase awareness and attract institutional investors and retail traders.Limited trading pairs would be offered to maintain price stability and avoid excessive volatility.Incentive and Reward MechanismsIncentives for early adopters and liquidity providers, such as yield farming or staking rewards, will be offered to promote liquidity.Community-driven rewards for Pi holders who lock up their tokens in long-term liquidity pools.A dynamic staking model could be introduced, where rewards increase with the length of the token lock-up period, encouraging pioneers to keep their tokens in liquidity pools for extended periods.Price Control MechanismsOracle systems would be implemented to provide real-time, accurate price feeds for Pi, preventing artificial inflation or deflation of its value.A price floor mechanism could be introduced to help stabilize Pi’s value and protect it from drastic price dumps.
Benefits of the Hybrid Liquidity Model
True Market Value for PiBy enabling decentralized liquidity pools, Pi’s price will be determined by actual supply and demand within the market, reflecting a more realistic and fair value.This will help establish Pi as a legitimate asset in the global cryptocurrency market.Community EmpowermentThis model provides Pi’s massive community with the tools and incentives to actively participate in the Pi ecosystem, rather than being passive holders.Community members can earn rewards by participating in liquidity provision, creating a sustainable ecosystem driven by pioneers.DeFi and Real-World UtilityPi will be able to integrate into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, allowing for staking, lending, borrowing, and more.Pi’s utility will grow beyond just speculative trading, enabling it to be used for real-world transactions, gaming, NFTs, and more.Price Stability and Long-Term GrowthBy combining CEX listings with decentralized liquidity, Pi will have a dual layer of liquidity, ensuring price stability while allowing for organic growth in the long run.Pioneers will be more likely to hold Pi tokens if they are earning rewards through LPs, thus reducing price volatility and encouraging more consistent growth.Building a Sustainable Pi EconomyA hybrid liquidity model aligns with Pi’s vision of building a decentralized economy powered by Pioneers and Pi’s blockchain.The model fosters an environment where Pi becomes usable, not just speculative, and drives long-term adoption through utility and incentives.
Implementation Plan
Phase 1: Pilot Liquidity Pools
Select trusted DEX platforms (e.g., Uniswap or PancakeSwap) for Pi token integration.Launch a small liquidity pool with Pi and popular stablecoins (e.g., USDT).Introduce a reward structure for early liquidity providers and adopters.
Phase 2: CEX Listings with Controlled Liquidity
List Pi on trusted centralized exchanges with limited liquidity.Implement price control mechanisms and ensure accurate oracle systems are in place.Allow for gradual market-based price discovery through controlled liquidity.
Phase 3: Incentives and Community Engagement
Develop a staking and yield farming program for Pi holders.Introduce community governance for decision-making on future listings and changes to liquidity strategies.Continue engagement with the Pi community through AMA sessions and feedback loops.
Phase 4: Scaling and DeFi Integration
Expand Pi’s integration into DeFi platforms for use in staking, lending, and borrowing.Establish partnerships with businesses and merchants to accept Pi as a payment method.
Conclusion
The Pi Network has an enormous community of dedicated pioneers who believe in its vision. By adopting a hybrid liquidity model, the Pi Core Team can unlock the true potential of Pi tokens, allowing for real price discovery, community-driven rewards, and long-term adoption in the global cryptocurrency ecosystem.
This approach provides a balanced, sustainable solution for Pi’s growth, addressing the limitations of current centralized exchanges while ensuring that Pi remains decentralized and community-controlled.
We believe this proposal will help pave the way for Pi to become a true utility token, with real-world use cases, integration into the DeFi ecosystem, and a thriving economy built by its community.
