The moment a project gains significant global visibility, it starts attracting fraudulent attempts to undermine its name. That’s the reality for the Pi Network. As the project moves through its Open Mainnet phase and the Pi currency becomes tradable, the attempts to hijack its credibility have become more sophisticated. Individuals are falsely associating Pi Network’s core team—especially those with academic or public profiles—with unrelated projects and ventures. This isn't just a miscommunication; it's a direct threat to community security.
This Public Statement From The Pi Network's Founder Draws A Clear Boundary:
The searchable term “Pi Network” isn't just a brand; it’s a security perimeter. When that perimeter is breached by false claims, the entire network—and the hard-earned currency of Pioneers—is at risk of confusion and misdirection.
Why Trust Must Be Defended Like Protocol Code
The True Cost of False Affiliation
When a Pi Network team is misrepresented, the integrity built over years of development and protocol design is dangerously siphoned into projects that have zero connection to the legitimate mission.
This concern goes far beyond ego; it is purely about verifiable clarity. The Pi Network’s legitimacy relies on a transparent, uncompromised chain of contribution. When someone falsely claims affiliation, they aren't just being dishonest—they are attempting to bypass the core verification systems that make Pi trustworthy in the first place.
The Unwavering Commitment to System Integrity
The Real Work Behind the Open Mainnet
Pi Network is not a passive application; it’s a living, verifiable protocol that demands constant iteration, testing, and community validation. The core team isn't focused on external hype; they are actively refining KYC systems, scaling infrastructure, and managing the post-launch integrity of the Open Mainnet. This level of technical and operational commitment is not a minor task—it is a full-stack, 24/7 undertaking.
If someone claims a Pi Core Team member is “advising” their separate project, the only logical response is to demand verifiable proof. Because the official channels are meticulously maintained to provide a single source of truth:
- YouTube: Pi Network Official Youtube
- Facebook: Pi Network Official Facebook
- X (fka Twitter): Pi Network Official X
- Telegram: Pi Network Official Telegram
- Instagram: Pi Network Official IG
- Nicolas Kokkalis' Official X
- Chengdiao Fan's Official X
If the claim is not present on these official sources, it is not real and should be considered a security risk.
The Power of Defensive Clarity
Protecting The Signal From Global Noise
In the new, open digital asset landscape, silence can be misconstrued as endorsement. This is why the Pi Network contributors take the proactive step of publicly distancing themselves from false claims. It is not about generating buzz—it’s about protecting the signal from malicious noise.
The most powerful demonstration of commitment is the refusal to dilute focus. The lead contributor’s choice to commit fully to the project, with only a limited annual external commitment, confirms that the mission to build a scalable, verified human network is the sole priority.
For the millions of Pioneers who have mined Pi, this clarity is vital. It confirms that the people behind the protocol are not distracted by peripheral ventures. They are committed to building something that can scale and, most importantly, last in the new, open financial environment.
Final Security Check
Trust is a Protocol, Not a Feeling
Pi Network does not ask for blind faith. It relies on verifiable systems—KYC, consensus algorithms, and a functional Mainnet. That is not a mere promise; it is a secure track record.
When external entities try to piggyback on that proven credibility, they are being dishonest and attempting to circumvent the very security protocols that establish Pi’s trustworthiness.
The Forward Challenge for every Pioneer is this: Since Pi is tradable and now fully open, every user has an essential role as a validation node. That means actively flagging falsehoods and protecting the network’s integrity. It is no longer just about mining Pi. It is about defending the verifiable architecture that guarantees its value.
The next time a name is dropped, always check the source. If it is not on the official Pi Network channels, it is a fraud attempting to bypass the security you helped build.
False claims against Pi Network are rising post-Open Mainnet. Learn why verifiable clarity protects the protocol and your Pi currency from fraud.
