Universe of Pi

Some predictions sound bold at first glance, especially when they challenge what many consider realistic. But when we look at how Pi has moved—from quiet beginnings to noticeable price shifts—the idea of it reaching $1,000 becomes less about pure speculation and more about observing market patterns, timing, and collective behavior. The Price Journey That’s Gaining Attention Picture checking your phone and seeing Pi at $3. It feels expected, maybe even overdue. For those who’ve been following its progress, a rise to $10 or $20 seems like a natural next step. It’s not dramatic—it’s steady momentum. ADVERTISEMENT Then the price climbs to $50, then $100. That’s when more people start paying attention. Not necessarily because they anticipated it, but because they’re noticing how others are responding. The initial hesitation fades, and interest grows. A Closer Look at Market Behavior The Quiet Phase When prices move gradually, people tend to observe. They wait, compare, and assess. But o...

When people hear the word “blockchain,” they often think of cryptocurrency or finance. But there’s much more to it. At Stanford University, Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis saw that potential early on. He created and taught CS359B:  Decentralized Applications on Blockchain, a course that helped students understand how blockchain could be used to build systems that are secure, fair, and useful beyond money. CS359B wasn’t just about theory. It focused on decentralization as a design principle. That means giving users more control, reducing reliance on central authorities, and building systems that work through shared trust. The course also explored how people interact with these systems, how design affects usability and how technology can be shaped by real human needs. At the time, other universities were starting to look into blockchain, but CS359B stood out. It was one of the first courses in the world to treat decentralization as a practical challenge, not just a techn...

Right now, Pi Network’s coin ($Pi) is priced at $0.24, while Dogecoin ($DOGE) sits slightly higher at $0.26. At first glance, the difference seems small. But when you look deeper, it reveals something important about how crypto value is shaped, not just by price, but by supply, market cap, and ecosystem maturity. Let’s start with supply. Dogecoin is fully circulated, meaning all its tokens are already out in the market. Pi, on the other hand, has only released about 8% of its total supply. That means most of Pi’s tokens are still locked, waiting for future release. This limited circulation affects how much demand can build, and how much liquidity is available for trading. Next is market cap. Dogecoin’s market cap is around $39 billion. Pi’s is just $2 billion. Market cap reflects the total value of all tokens in circulation, and it’s a key signal for investors. A higher market cap often means more trust, more visibility, and more momentum. Right now, Dogecoin has that edge....

Pi Browser is a key part of the Pi Network ecosystem. It’s the app that lets users access decentralized apps (called Pi Apps), manage their Pi wallets, and interact with the growing digital economy built around the Pi cryptocurrency. For a long time, Pi Browser was owned and operated by a company called SocialChain. But recently, ownership was transferred to a new entity: Pi Community Company. This change might sound technical, but it actually reflects something much bigger. It’s about decentralization, and how digital tools can be shaped by the people who use them, not just by a company at the top. What Is Decentralization? Decentralization means that decision-making and control are spread out, rather than held by one central authority. Instead of one company making all the choices, smaller groups or even individuals get a say. This idea has been used in many areas, like government, business, and technology, to help systems become more fair, flexible, and responsive to peo...

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...

Let’s talk straight about what’s coming with the V23 protocol update and why it matters for anyone holding or considering $Pi. Once V23 hits Mainnet, $Pi it becomes programmable. That means developers can build smart contracts, launch tokens, and create tools that let people swap assets instantly. Liquidity will be real, not theoretical. Prices will reflect actual market activity, not community wishlists. Your Pi Wallet will evolve too. It’ll store multiple assets, show live prices, and connect with bridges and aggregators. That’s a big shift, it means $Pi will behave like any other crypto with real exchange logic behind it. Now here’s the part that needs clearing up. There’s a group still pushing the idea of GCV, Global Consensus Value, as if it’s a guaranteed future. They tell newcomers that the $Pi listed on exchanges isn’t “REAL,” and that just a few Pi could make you a millionaire. That kind of messaging creates confusion, not confidence. New investors see mixed signal...

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 look at something strange that’s been hiding in plain sight. Bitcoin’s whitepaper was published on October 31, 2008. That date is considered the official birth of the crypto industry. But here’s the twist: Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis, created his Twitter account in the same month, October 2008. That’s not just trivia. It’s a timing overlap that feels too perfect to ignore. Two Digital Births, One Moment Bitcoin was introduced to the world.   Nicolas quietly stepped into the digital space. Same month. Same year. And years later, Nicolas would go on to build Pi Network, a project that doesn’t just reference Bitcoin, but claims to upgrade it. “ You can compare Pi to an upgraded version of Bitcoin.” Nicolas Kokkalis That’s not a casual statement. That’s a direct challenge to the original blueprint. So the question is: who gets to upgrade Bitcoin? Who Has the Right to Upgrade Bitcoin? Bitcoin wasn’t just a coin, it was a movement. It i...

In 2011, the world of technology witnessed a quiet shift. While Satoshi Nakamoto—the mysterious creator of Bitcoin—stepped away from public view, another mind at Stanford University was laying the groundwork for something equally transformative. That mind was Nicolas Kokkalis, and his focus back then wasn’t on digital currency. It was on designing the nervous system of intelligent software—systems that could think, plan, and assist like human beings. His work didn’t make headlines, but it planted the seeds for how AI now interacts with us in daily life. What Was Kokkalis Building? Kokkalis wasn’t building robots or chatbots. He was designing software that could understand human tasks, organize them intelligently, and even learn from crowds of people online. His goal was to make digital assistants that behave more like real human helpers. Let’s explore two of his key projects from 2011: Project 1: Reminiscing a Person’s Life from His Lifelong To-Do List Published at CHI 2011  ...

When people hear the word “mining” in crypto, they often think of powerful computers solving complex puzzles to earn coins—like Bitcoin’s proof-of-work system. But mining has changed. It’s no longer just about machines and electricity. Today, it can also mean helping a network grow and stay secure through everyday participation. Let’s break it down: - Gold mining means digging for physical resources. - Bitcoin mining means solving digital puzzles with expensive hardware. - Pi Network mining means building trust and contributing to the system—just by being a real person. What Is Mobile Mining? Pi Network introduced a new kind of mining that works on your phone. It doesn’t drain your battery or require fancy equipment. Instead, it’s built around social trust. You mine Pi by verifying your identity, connecting with others, and helping secure the network—all from your mobile device. This system is designed to be inclusive. It’s especially helpful for people in regions where acc...
