The cryptocurrency project “Pi Network” is the talk of the town. It has gained many users because it allows easy mining on smartphones, and attention is further increasing due to information that a “major announcement” regarding the ecosystem is scheduled for May 14, 2025. In particular, there are many points of interest, such as rumors of listing on Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, the progress of KYC (Know Your Customer), and the advancement of migration to the mainnet. This article provides a thorough prediction and explanation of Pi Network’s basics, latest trends, and what might be revealed in the upcoming announcement, based on objective information and presented in an easy-to-understand manner for those without specialized knowledge. If you’re wondering, “I’ve been hearing a lot about Pi Network lately, but what’s so great about it?” or “What will happen to Pi Network in the future?”, please read on to the end!
What Exactly is Pi Network? A Basic Explanation for Beginners
First, let’s review the basics: “What is Pi Network?” In this section, we will gently explain what kind of project Pi Network is, what it aims to achieve, and why it has attracted so many people, avoiding technical jargon.
Pi Network is a cryptocurrency project launched in 2019 by Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan, who hold PhDs from Stanford University. Its biggest feature is that anyone can easily “mine” their own cryptocurrency called Pi Coin using a smartphone app. Normally, cryptocurrency mining requires high-performance computers and specialized knowledge, but Pi Network aims to make this more accessible.
You might be concerned, “But won’t mining on a smartphone consume a lot of battery?” Pi Network does not use a mechanism like the computational competition adopted by Bitcoin (Proof of Work). Instead, it employs a unique consensus algorithm based on trust relationships among users (similar to the Stellar Consensus Protocol), aiming to secure the network while reducing energy consumption. This ease of use and the expansion of the community through referrals are some of the reasons why it has gained many users (“Pioneers”) worldwide.
Easy Mining on Your Smartphone? How Pi Network Works
The mechanism is simple: install the Pi Network app and tap it once a day to continue mining. This is like proof that you are contributing to the network’s activity. No complicated settings or operations are required, making it easy for those new to cryptocurrency to get started. Some people might feel uneasy because it seems too simple, but this is because Pi Network has the vision of “cryptocurrency accessible to everyone.”
Aiming for “Cryptocurrency for Everyone” – Its Vision and Potential
Pi Network’s big goal is to become a decentralized digital currency that can be used daily by more people, not just a few experts or investors like Bitcoin. The project team aims to build its own economic ecosystem where goods and services can be traded using Pi. If this is realized, the way we shop and send money might change.
Pi Network So Far: From Test Phase to Open Mainnet
Pi Network has gone through several development phases. Initially, it was operated on a testnet (a testing network) where functional improvements and security enhancements were made. There is also information that the “Open Mainnet,” a more serious operational phase, was launched on February 20, 2025. This is a crucial step for Pi Coin to connect with external wallets and exchanges and gain practical value. However, at present, completely free trading is not yet widespread, and the future development of the ecosystem is key.
Attention! May 14, 2025, What Will Be Announced? CoinDesk Event and Nicolas Kokkalis’s Appearance
Now, let’s get to the main topic. Pi Network has announced that it will make an important announcement regarding its ecosystem on the first day of “Consensus 2025” (hosted by CoinDesk), a global conference on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, held in Toronto, Canada, from May 14 to 16, 2025. In this section, we will explore why this announcement is attracting attention and what can be expected from the appearance of Nicolas Kokkalis, one of the founders.
The fact that Pi Network is making an announcement at such a large-scale international event can be seen as a sign of the project’s confidence. Normally, Pi Network would report after a new feature was implemented, but this time, the fact that they are announcing a “major announcement” in advance is unusual and is raising expectations within the community.
What is “Consensus 2025”? A Major Event Watched by the World
“Consensus” is one of the world’s most influential events, bringing together leaders, developers, investors, and regulators in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. An announcement here has the potential to improve the project’s credibility and lead to new partnerships. What will Pi Network say on such a grand stage?
Why Announce in Advance? What is Pi Network’s Aim?
Several aims can be considered behind the decision to announce in advance. One is to increase community engagement and build anticipation. Another is to attract the attention of media, potential investors, and developers, further increasing the project’s recognition. It could be seen as a stepping stone to the next big phase.
What is the Future of Pi Network as Told by Founder Nicolas Kokkalis?
It has been reported that Nicolas Kokkalis, one of the founders of Pi Network, will speak at the event. It is possible that he will speak about Pi Network’s achievements so far and its specific future roadmap and vision. In particular, if he mentions the challenges the project is facing and how they plan to overcome them, the community’s trust will deepen further.
[Bold Prediction ①] Most Likely? Possibility and Basis for Listing on Binance
The most anticipated aspect of this announcement is the possibility of Pi Network being listed on Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. If realized, it could significantly impact Pi Network’s value and recognition. In this section, we will organize the background and basis for the listing rumors, as well as the potential benefits and risks if it becomes a reality.
Listing on Binance is a major goal for many cryptocurrency projects. This is because Binance has many users worldwide and a very large trading volume, so listing on it can significantly improve the liquidity (ease of trading) of the cryptocurrency and have a significant impact on price formation. Furthermore, being listed on Binance, known for its strict screening criteria, can serve as proof of the project’s reliability itself.
Why the Rumors? What is the Connection to the XLM Blockchain? (Based on Source Information)
In the YouTube video that is the source of this information, reasons cited for the high possibility of Pi Network listing on Binance include past instances where “Pi was deposited into an XLM (Stellar) deposit address” and the fact that “the XLM and Pi blockchains are similar.” Furthermore, information that “there was testing activity related to Pi Network in Binance’s Stellar deposit wallet” has recently become a topic of discussion within the community. If these are true, it might suggest that some preparations are underway behind the scenes.
However, this information is currently just rumors and speculation. It is important to carefully evaluate the information until an official announcement is made.
What Happens if Binance Listing is Realized? Expected Benefits and Potential Risks
If Pi Network is listed on Binance, the following benefits can be expected:
- Increased Pi Coin trading activity: More people will be able to buy and sell Pi Coin, increasing liquidity.
- Potential for price increase: Generally, listing on a major exchange is often seen as a positive factor for the price.
- Improved project credibility: Passing Binance’s screening increases confidence in the project.
- Accelerated ecosystem expansion: Increased attention may lead more people to develop new services and applications (DApps) using Pi.
On the other hand, the following risks and points to note should also be considered:
- Increased price volatility: Immediately after listing, the price may surge due to anticipation, but there is also a risk of a sharp drop due to profit-taking sales, etc.
- Increase in speculative trading: Trading aimed at short-term price fluctuations, rather than the project’s intrinsic value, may increase.
- Disappointment if expectations are not met: If the listing does not materialize or the price after listing does not rise as expected, disappointment may spread within the community.
The Future of Pi Coin: KYC Deadline Approaching! Explaining Binance Listing and Price Potential
Let’s Evaluate Calmly: The Boundary Between Official Information and Rumors at Present
As reiterated, information regarding Binance listing is currently not officially announced by Pi Network or Binance. Whether this point is mentioned in the May 14 announcement is one of the biggest focal points, but until then, it is important to follow the information calmly without being swayed by rumors. There is also information that Binance previously considered deciding the listing of Pi Coin through a community vote, but it is unclear what happened to this as an official process.
[Bold Prediction ②] How Will the Ecosystem Evolve? The Importance of KYC and Migration
In addition to the rumors of Binance listing, announcements aimed at strengthening Pi Network’s own “ecosystem” are also expected. Particularly important are the progress of the KYC (Know Your Customer) process and “migration” (transition to the mainnet) to make Pi Coin fully usable. In this section, we will explain why these are important and what updates might be possible.
To realize Pi Network’s goal of “cryptocurrency for everyone,” building a robust and reliable ecosystem is essential. For this, KYC and migration are unavoidable paths.
PiNetwork Ecosystem Expansion – Collaboration with Multiple Blockchains and Future Potential
“KYC” to Protect Your Pi: Why is it Necessary? Future Updates?
KYC stands for “Know Your Customer,” which translates to “identity verification” in Japanese. It is the procedure for financial institutions and others to verify the identity of their customers when providing services. Why is KYC important for Pi Network?
- Prevention of fraudulent use: It prevents a single user from obtaining an unfairly large amount of Pi Coin using multiple accounts or from being used for fraudulent activities such as money laundering.
- Improved network reliability: The overall reliability of the network increases when all participants are verified as real individuals.
- Compliance with legal regulations: It may be necessary to comply with laws and regulations in various countries and operate as a sustainable project.
Pi Network has been advancing the KYC process for some time, and many users have already completed verification (information suggests over 18 million as of December 2024). However, many users are still waiting for verification, and there is a demand for a smoother and faster KYC process. In this announcement, major updates regarding KYC, such as improving KYC processing capacity or introducing new verification methods, may be announced.
You might feel that “KYC is a hassle…”, but this is a very important step to protect the value of the Pi Coin you hold and for the healthy development of the entire Pi Network.
How Will Pi Change with “Migration”? What is Second Migration?
Migration, simply put, is like “moving house.” It refers to the process of transferring the Pi Coin you have mined on the testnet to your wallet on the “mainnet,” the production environment where value can actually be exchanged. Only after this is completed can you truly own Pi Coin and potentially use Pi for transactions in the future. Pi Network is already proceeding with migration to the mainnet, which is called “First Migration.” The source information also mentions “Second Migration,” which likely refers to the next phase of efforts to facilitate the migration of even more users or improve the migration process.
In this announcement, sharing of migration progress and future migration plans, especially specific details regarding “Second Migration,” may be revealed. Enabling more users to smoothly migrate to the mainnet is essential for the activation of the ecosystem.
Will Pi’s Value Increase with Ecosystem Enhancement? Announcement of Developer Tools?
The value of Pi Network increases not only through trading on exchanges but also by increasing the places and services (DApps: Decentralized Applications) where Pi Coin can actually be used. Therefore, creating an environment where developers can easily develop attractive apps on the Pi Network platform is also important. The source information mentions that “a large number of developer ecosystem applications are under review,” and in this announcement, new tools or support programs for developers, or the introduction of promising DApps that are already under development, may be announced. This holds the expectation that the Pi Network ecosystem will expand rapidly.
To Avoid Getting Lost in the Sea of Information: What We Should Keep in Mind
We have looked at various predictions and possibilities so far, but it is also important to maintain a calm perspective when encountering new information. In this section, we will think together with readers about points to note when gathering information about Pi Network and how to approach expectations.
Especially for projects like Pi Network, where the community is active and various information is flying around, selecting information is very important. The feeling of anticipation, “Maybe something amazing will happen!”, is exciting, but we also want to maintain calmness at the same time.
Rumors and Expectations First? Get in the Habit of Checking Official Information
The predictions regarding the possibility of Binance listing and the evolution of the ecosystem introduced in this article are also based solely on current information and the YouTube source information. The most reliable source is the official announcement from the Pi Network operating team (Pi Core Team). Get in the habit of regularly checking the official website, official social media accounts (like X), and in-app announcements. Be careful not to be swayed by uncertain information or information that is merely personal speculation.
“You’ll Definitely Make Money” is a Danger Signal! Understand the Risks of Cryptocurrency Investment
Not limited to Pi Network, investment or participation in cryptocurrency always involves risks. There is a possibility of significant price fluctuations, and there is also a non-zero possibility that the project may not proceed as expected. Be wary of sweet words like “You’ll definitely make money” or “You’ll lose out if you don’t join now.” It is important to understand that Pi Network is still a developing project, and its future is largely unknown. This article is not intended as investment advice. Please gather information and participate in the project based on your own judgment and responsibility.
Community Voices and Project Progress: Balanced Information Gathering
One of the big attractions of Pi Network is its active community. The opinions and discussions of other users can be helpful, but on the other hand, they can also be biased towards enthusiastic opinions or unfounded optimism. While listening to the voices of the community, it is important to maintain a balanced perspective by comparing them with objective information such as the project’s technical progress and official announcements.
Summary: What Will the Future of Pi Network Be? Let’s Watch with Expectation and a Calm Perspective
Finally, the summary. Pi Network is a unique project that sets a grand vision and continues to evolve with many users. Expectations are high for how this major announcement will accelerate its progress. Finally, let’s reconfirm how we should approach the future of Pi Network.
The Pi Network ecosystem announcement on May 14, 2025, has the potential to be a major turning point for the project. Many expectations are placed on it, such as rumors of listing on Binance, further progress in the KYC process, acceleration of migration, and the emergence of new DApps that enrich the ecosystem.
However, no matter what announcement is made, Pi Network’s journey has just begun. A sense of “Ah, I see!” along with a desire to learn more and try it out might be the key to enjoying this new technology.
When encountering new information, don’t forget to maintain a calm perspective along with expectation, and wait for the official announcement.
