Pi Network has taken a significant leap forward with the launch of its Open Mainnet, marking a turning point for the project and its native Pi Coin.
This long-awaited transition removes previous limitations, allowing users to trade and transfer tokens freely. The excitement surrounding the launch has been further amplified by major exchanges like OKX, Bitget and MEXC listing Pi Coin, signaling growing market interest.
Since its inception in 2018, Pi Network has positioned itself as an accessible entry point into the crypto space. Unlike Bitcoin, which requires high-powered mining rigs, Pi Coin can be mined with just a tap on a smartphone, making it far more user-friendly. This approach has helped the project amass a massive community, with over 50 million engaged users and more than 100 million downloads of its Pi Browser.
Beyond simplifying mining, Pi Network aims to tackle some of the biggest challenges associated with traditional cryptocurrencies, particularly the high energy consumption of Bitcoin. By shifting mining to mobile devices, the project lowers the barriers to entry while making the process more sustainable.
Looking ahead, Pi Network is setting its sights on expanding its ecosystem by integrating decentralized applications (dApps), further cementing its vision of creating a more inclusive and efficient blockchain environment.
Longtime Pi miners are finally seeing their patience pay off as Pi Coin enters a new era. With trading now fully open, users can buy, sell, and exchange their tokens just like any other digital asset. Market activity is surging, and while prices are shifting as traders respond, one thing is clear—Pi has officially joined the ranks of major cryptocurrencies.
At the time of writing, Pi Coin is trading at $2.3 on MEXC. Despite this, there seems to be significant selling preassure and the coin is currently highly volatile.
