]]> Pi Network is a cryptocurrency still in the development stage. It is a Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency, meaning users can mine Pi coins by completing simple tasks on their smartphones. Pi Network was listed on the HTX exchange, formerly known as Huobi, on this day last year. However, it is not currently listed on any other exchanges.
There are some concerns about Pi being a scam, mainly due to it not being a fully functional cryptocurrency yet. The uncertainty about how the team will generate revenue in the future also persists. However, they have published a technical report outlining their plans for the project and being transparent about their operations.
In a post from Pi Network’s official accounts, they shared the Pi roadmap, containing important information about the future of Pi products.
You can find a detailed review of the road map here.

How Does Pi Network Work?

It uses a consensus algorithm called Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP). SCP allows users who contribute to the network to be rewarded.

 

Pi Network

Stellar claims that Consensus Protocol (SCP) is faster, more secure and more scalable than other consensus algorithms such as Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS).

Community Formation

The Pi Network community consists of four roles:

  1. Pioneers: Users conducting mining activities are referred to as “Pioneers.” However, Pi Network does not currently have a functional blockchain. Users attempt to prove they are not robots by clicking on a specific button in the application every 24 hours. However, unlike traditional cryptocurrency mining, actual mining activities have not taken place on the Pi Network yet. Pi Network developers are working to launch their own blockchain, but the exact date for the open mainnet launch is still unknown.
  2. Contributors: Users who engage in mining for three consecutive days ascend to the Contributor status. Contributors represent a Security Circle, which consists of three to five Pioneers coming together. The Security Circle is a group of users on the Pi network who trust each other. Users can join multiple Security Circles, and Contributors earn more mining rewards compared to Pioneers.
  3. Ambassadors: Users become Ambassadors when they invite new users through their referral codes. Ambassadors receive a 25% mining bonus for each user they invite. The more people invited, the higher the Ambassador’s earning rate. However, a user can only join the earning team of one Ambassador and cannot be added to multiple Security Circles.
  4. Nodes: Pioneers can become validators (Nodes) on the network by running the Pi software on a desktop or personal computer. Validators are rewarded with additional benefits in the mining process. Currently, there are more than 10,000 testnet nodes, and developers state that when the Pi Network mainnet is launched, nodes will ensure the security of the Pi blockchain.

Pi Network Future

Pi coin’s future price remains uncertain. The Pi Network aims to allow everyone to engage in crypto mining and make blockchain technology more accessible, similar to many other crypto platforms, but it is not without controversy.
While the strong incentive structure significantly supports recruitment, miners receive compensation in a local cryptocurrency that lacks real value.
Investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing with such speculative cryptocurrency ventures.

Pi Network Founder

It was first introduced by Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis in December 2018 and officially launched on March 14, 2019 (Pi Day). He is a Stanford doctoral student and the instructor of Stanford’s first decentralized applications class, CS359B, in 2018.
