Since its inception, Pi Network has garnered significant attention and anticipation for its promise of creating a decentralized network accessible to all. However, recent developments suggest that the project may be facing hurdles on its roadmap, particularly concerning the launch of its open mainnet.

Initially, Pi Network launched its enclosed mainnet in December 2021, marking a significant milestone in its development journey. This phase restricted network access to early adopters and isolated users from external communication—a necessary step in laying the groundwork for the network’s expansion.

According to the project’s roadmap, Pi aimed to transition from the enclosed mainnet to an open mainnet between March and June 2022. However, as of February 2024, Pi has yet to achieve this milestone, leading to growing concerns among users and investors alike.

Reports indicate that the delay in the open mainnet launch is primarily attributed to ongoing issues with Know Your Customer (KYC) verification processes. Many users have reported experiencing difficulties with their KYC applications, with some expressing frustration over prolonged delays and lack of communication from the Pi team.

The inability to resolve these KYC verification issues has not only impeded progress toward the open mainnet launch but has also eroded user confidence in the project’s ability to deliver on its promises. With no clear timeline provided for addressing these concerns, uncertainty looms over Pi Network’s future trajectory.

In response to mounting user complaints and queries regarding the status of KYC applications, the Pi team has remained relatively silent, failing to provide adequate updates or reassurance to its community. This lack of transparency has only exacerbated frustrations among users, further underscoring the importance of effective communication in project development.
