Universe of Pi

At Token2049 Singapore 2025, Dr. Chengdiao Fan took the stage and delivered a keynote that felt more like a homecoming than a presentation. It wasn’t just another crypto update, it was a moment that marked the end of a long, steady climb and the beginning of something bigger. After six years of building, refining, and educating, Pi Network officially opened its doors to the Web3 world with 60 million engaged users. Let’s walk through how we got here. Back in 2019, Pi launched its mobile app on March 14. It was simple, accessible, and within months, a million people had joined. That early wave proved something important, crypto didn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. By 2021, the community had grown to 25 million. Pi entered its Enclosed Network phase, a time for testing, refining, and preparing for global expansion. It wasn’t flashy, but it was necessary. The team focused on building a foundation that could actually support real-world use. In 2023, Pi rolled out its...

Millions of people already use Pi Network. They mine daily, explore apps, hold $Pi, and watch the ecosystem grow. But here’s the twist: Pi’s roadmap isn’t just built for the next few months or years, it’s designed to last. Not just for the next billion pioneers, but for the next million years of digital evolution. Sounds dramatic? Maybe. But when you look at how Pi is layering its system, it starts to make sense. Not Just Features, It’s a Living System Most crypto projects launch features like they’re tossing confetti. A wallet here, a token there, maybe a marketplace if they’re ambitious. But Pi isn’t doing that. Pi is building something that feels more like a digital civilization. Think of it like building a city that’s meant to stand the test of time. You don’t just throw up buildings. You lay down roads, water systems, power grids, and zoning laws. That’s what Pi is doing, layer by layer. Layer 1: Identity That Lasts First, Pi tackled identity. The Pi KYC system verifie...

Let’s talk about something most crypto projects skip: the actual foundation that makes innovation possible. Pi isn’t just throwing features into the wind and hoping they stick. It’s building the roads, bridges, and traffic systems that make sure those features lead somewhere useful. And that’s what separates hype from real growth. What Does “Infrastructure” Really Mean? In crypto, we often hear about new tools, wallets, exchanges, tokens. But without infrastructure, those tools are like apps without an operating system. They might look good, but they don’t work together, and they don’t scale. Pi is doing something different. It’s not just launching features, it’s building the framework that supports them. Think of it like Amazon launching its own token. If Amazon just said “Here’s a coin,” it wouldn’t mean much. But if they tied that coin to verified buyers, seller tools, storefronts, ad systems, and delivery logistics? Now you’ve got something powerful. Pi is doing that, b...
