JUST IN: Pi Network Set to Launch Open Mainnet in 2 Phases, Kicking Off in June

Origins of Pi Network

Pi Network was founded by a group of Stanford alumni, including Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdiao Fan. The project was launched on March 14, 2019 (Pi Day) with the goal of making cryptocurrency mining more inclusive. Unlike Bitcoin, which requires high-powered computers, Pi Network allows users to mine Pi using a lightweight and energy-efficient mobile app.

Unique Features of Pi Network

One of the unique aspects of Pi Network is its community-centric approach. Users can mine Pi by building their own social networks, where they invite friends and family to join. This not only speeds up the mining process but also strengthens the Pi community and ecosystem.

Why the Open Mainnet Launch Matters

The launch of the Open Mainnet is a crucial step in Pi Network's journey. The transition from Testnet to Mainnet signifies that Pi Network is ready for real-world use with enhanced security and efficiency.
