The long-awaited Pi Coin mainnet launch is on the horizon after a two-year postponement, with over 10 million users globally poised for the event.
The long-awaited Pi Coin mainnet launch is finally upon us, after being pushed back for two years. With over 10 million users globally waiting for the event, the upcoming phase will allow users to finally transfer their mined Pi coins from the testnet to the mainnet, officially making Pi Coins a tradable asset.
This transition has sparked excitement worldwide as the community looks forward to future profits and expanded adoption. As the official listing date draws near, here is everything you need to know about the Pi Coin mainnet launch.
Pi Network is a blockchain project designed for accessibility. Launched in 2019 by Stanford graduates, it lets users mine cryptocurrency via a mobile app. Unlike Bitcoin, which demands costly hardware, Pi requires no special equipment. Anyone can earn Pi by verifying their presence daily on the app, Forbes notes. This user-friendly approach aims to bring crypto to everyday people.

Instead, users form trust circles by nominating 3-5 reliable contacts. These circles create a global trust graph, securing the network without massive computing power.
Mining rewards vary by contribution. Pioneers earn base rewards for daily check-ins. Adding trusted contacts boosts earnings while running full nodes, which offers bonuses. The network also encourages app use and Pi lockups to grow its ecosystem. Since December 2021, Pi’s mainnet has been operating in an “enclosed” phase, which required KYC verification for any coin transfers. The upcoming “open network” phase will enable full external connectivity.
