Discussion Regarding Exchange Listing

The importance of exchange listing has been mentioned in official Pi Network announcements and community discussions. Improving liquidity and stabilizing the price are key themes.

Currently, Pi Network primarily circulates within the Pi Network ecosystem. Listing on major exchanges has the potential to significantly increase liquidity and make it a truly global trading asset. Higher liquidity is believed to mean a more stable price and reduce the possibility of price manipulation.

Currently, Pi coin is traded on some smaller exchanges, but price volatility is high and liquidity is limited. Listing on major exchanges is expected to attract more trading participants and contribute to price stabilization by increasing market depth.

Over 93 Dapps Ready for Release?

As a significant development towards expanding the Pi Network ecosystem, it is circulating on timelines that over 93 decentralized applications (Dapps) have completed preparation for release. These Dapps will operate on the Pi Network blockchain and provide various services to users.

According to sources, out of the initially planned 100 Dapps, over 93 Dapps have completed development at this point, and the rest are expected to be completed soon. The existence of these Dapps can be seen as evidence that Pi Network is attempting to build a practical ecosystem, not just a cryptocurrency.

Types and Uses of Dapps

The Dapps scheduled for release are expected to include the following categories:

• Payment Services
• Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Applications
• Games and Entertainment
• Social Media Platforms
• Marketplaces
• Education-related Services
• Health and Medical Applications

When these Dapps actually start operating, practical transactions and activities within the Pi Network ecosystem are expected to become active, leading to the creation of real value for Pi coin.

Pi Network KYC Validators

New information has been revealed about KYC validators, who play a crucial role in supporting the Pi Network blockchain. KYC validators are responsible for verifying the KYC process for community members and contribute to maintaining network security.

KYC validators are responsible for core network functions such as transaction verification and blockchain security maintenance. While general Pi Network users are primarily involved in KYC (identity verification), KYC validators are thought to perform network verification tasks at a more advanced level.

Current Node Status

According to information from P Scan, the current status of the Pi Network is as follows:

• Active Nodes: 64
• Active Validators: 0 (Temporarily inactive)
• Total Pi Nodes: 271
• Disconnected Nodes: 207

These numbers indicate that the Pi Network’s blockchain infrastructure is being steadily built. In particular, the fact that 64 community nodes are already active is a significant step towards decentralization.

Smart Contracts and Ecosystem Launch

According to sources, the Pi Core Team is expected to release the “Protocol 21 Upgrade Guide” soon, which will include smart contract functionality. More importantly, the launch of the Pi Network ecosystem will begin once community nodes are fully activated.

The integration of smart contracts will significantly expand the capabilities of Pi Network, enabling the development of more complex applications and services. This will allow the aforementioned over 93 Dapps to actually start operating.

The Pi Core Team has also hinted at the possibility of an “explosive event” occurring when smart contracts are integrated. This is thought to mean a rapid expansion of the ecosystem and an increase in the utility and value of Pi coin.

Future Outlook for Pi Network

Synthesizing this latest information, it is clear that Pi Network is steadily progressing towards full operation. Points particularly worth noting are as follows:

• Over 93 Dapps have completed preparation for release, ready to enhance the diversity and utility of the ecosystem.
• Community node activation is progressing, and blockchain decentralization is advancing.
• The introduction of smart contract functionality will enable the development of more advanced applications.
• Listing on major exchanges is within sight, with expectations for improved liquidity and price stability.

With these elements in place, Pi Network is preparing to evolve from a “mining only” phase to a functional decentralized ecosystem.

Pi Network launched its Open Network on February 20, 2025. OKX, Bitget, Bitrue, Gate.io, MEXC, etc., listed Pi, but KuCoin and Bybit did not. The CEO of Bybit called Pi Network a scam and explicitly stated they would not list it.

Summary

Pi Network’s development takes a unique approach compared to many cryptocurrency projects. The method of building the user base first (currently about 65 million people) and then developing the infrastructure and ecosystem differs from the typical cryptocurrency development pattern.

The information revealed this time—over 93 Dapps, KYC validators, community node activation, and the introduction of smart contracts—all indicate that Pi Network is steadily transitioning from a theoretical concept to a practical blockchain ecosystem.

Future developments, particularly the release of Dapps and the introduction of smart contracts, will be crucial milestones that significantly impact the utility and value of Pi Network. For the Pi Network community, these advancements may be evidence that the long waiting period is finally bearing fruit.
