斯坦福大學的畢業生於2019年啟動了PI網絡，是一個加密貨幣項目，旨在通過手機的“採礦”來使數字資金更容易獲得，從而規避了通常的技術障礙，從而阻止了大多數人以傳統方式挖掘加密貨幣。

We’ll break down what Pi Network is about, what it’s trying to achieve, and the technology behind it.

我們將分解PI網絡的意義，它正在嘗試實現的目標以及其背後的技術。

What Is Pi Network About?

什麼是PI網絡？

Pi Network sets out to enable anyone to mine cryptocurrency using a simple phone application, in contrast to coins like Bitcoin which require specialized, energy-intensive mining rigs. The goal is to build a system of digital money and smart contracts powered and secured by the people who use it, staying true to the core principles of blockchain technology.

PI網絡著手使用簡單的電話應用程序來使任何人都可以開採加密貨幣，這與需要專門的，能源密集型採礦裝置的硬幣等硬幣相比。目的是建立一個由使用它的人驅動和確保的數字貨幣和智能合約系統，並忠於區塊鏈技術的核心原則。

Their vision is to create a global, open system where individuals connect directly, engaging through referrals to bring in more users and foster a collective effort. In the beginning stages of mining, early participants mine more Pi, but the rate slows down as more people join, aiming to distribute the coins in a balanced manner.

他們的願景是創建一個全球開放的系統，個人直接聯繫，通過推薦來吸引更多用戶並促進集體努力。在採礦的開始階段，早期參與者挖掘了更多的pi，但是隨著越來越多的人加入，速度降低了，旨在以平衡的方式分發硬幣。

Ultimately, Pi is envisioned to be used for everyday purchases, integration with other applications (DApps), and seamless money transfer between people.

最終，預計PI用於日常購買，與其他應用程序（DAPP）集成以及人與人之間的無縫匯款。

Their official mission statement is “to build a cryptocurrency and smart contracts platform secured and operated by everyday people.” They have a broader goal to “build the world’s most inclusive peer-to-peer ecosystem and online experience, fueled by Pi, the world’s most widely used cryptocurrency.”

他們的正式任務聲明是“建立一個加密貨幣和智能合約平台，由日常人員確保和運營。”他們具有更廣泛的目標，可以“建立世界上最廣泛使用的加密貨幣PI的推動力，建立世界上最包容的對等生態系統和在線體驗。”

What Is the Technology Behind Pi Network?

PI網絡背後的技術是什麼？

Pi Network employs a modified version of the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) for transactions, originally developed by Stanford computer science professor David Mazières, also the chief scientist at the Stellar Development Foundation. This choice allows Pi to build a light-mining system on phones, designed for ease of use and minimal energy consumption.

PI Network使用Stanford計算機科學教授DavidMazières開發的恆星共識協議（SCP）的修改版本，也是Stellar Development Foundation的首席科學家。這種選擇使PI可以在手機上建立輕型挖掘系統，該系統旨在易於使用和最少的能耗。

Instead of the computationally demanding ‘proof-of-work’ used by other cryptos, Pi’s variant of SCP relies on trusted computers (nodes) and groups called ‘security circles.’ You contribute to these security circles by adding people you trust to your network. In doing so, you help to verify transactions and strengthen the network’s overall security. As these personal security circles interlink, they form a global fabric of trust. This fabric aids the network in quickly and securely agreeing on transactions.

PI的SCP變體不取決於可信賴的計算機（節點）和稱為“安全圈”的組。您通過將您信任的人添加到網絡中來為這些安全界做出貢獻。在此過程中，您有助於驗證交易並加強網絡的整體安全性。隨著這些個人安全圈相互鏈接，它們形成了全球信任的結構。該面料有助於網絡快速，安全地同意交易。

Now, ‘mining’ in the context of Pi Network isn’t done in the same way as other cryptocurrencies – you won’t be solving complex math problems or draining your phone’s battery. Instead, you mine Pi by simply opening the app once a day and tapping a button. They term this ‘proof of engagement,’ essentially verifying that you’re a real person and not a bot. This daily check-in is said to have a minimal impact on your phone’s battery or data usage. Through these check-ins and contributions to your security circle, you ultimately help keep the fabric of trust strong, which in turn protects the Pi ledger.

現在，在PI網絡的背景下，“採礦”與其他加密貨幣的方式相同 - 您將不會解決複雜的數學問題或排乾手機的電池。取而代之的是，您只需每天打開一次應用並點擊按鈕即可開採PI。他們稱這種“參與證明”，從本質上驗證了您是一個真實的人而不是機器人。據說每日簽到對手機的電池或數據使用情況有很小的影響。通過這些檢查和對您的安全圈的貢獻，您最終幫助保持堅固的信任結構，從而保護Pi Ledger。

The network has different roles, and your role can influence how much Pi you mine:

該網絡具有不同的角色，您的角色可以影響您挖掘多少PI：

* Pioneer: This is the basic user who mines Pi by logging in daily.

*先驅：這是通過每天登錄的基本用戶礦山。

* Contributor: You become a Contributor if you actively work to make the network safer by adding trusted people to your security circle.

*撰稿人：如果您積極努力通過將可信賴的人添加到您的安全圈中，則將成為貢獻者。

* Ambassador: If you bring new people into the network by inviting them, you’re an Ambassador.

*大使：如果您通過邀請他們將新朋友帶入網絡，那麼您就是大使。

* Node: Some individuals run the Pi Node software on their own computers. These nodes help decentralize and secure the network further by verifying transactions. For running a node, you can earn additional Pi, depending on factors like how long your computer stays on and its processing power.

*節點：有些人在自己的計算機上運行PI節點軟件。這些節點通過驗證交易來幫助分散並確保網絡的確保。對於運行節點，您可以根據計算機持續多長時間及其處理能力等因素而獲得其他PI。

What Are the Stages of Pi Network?

PI網絡的階段是什麼？

Pi Network has been rolling out in phases:

PI網絡一直在階段推出：

* Phase 1: Beta (December 2018 – March 2020): The phone app launched, allowing the first ‘Pioneers’ to begin mining Pi and expanding the community. The first version of their plan (whitepaper) was released on March 14, 2019.

*第1階段：Beta（2018年12月至2020年3月）：啟動了電話應用程序，允許第一個“先驅者”開始挖掘PI並擴大社區。他們的計劃的第一個版本（白皮書）於2019年3月14日發布。

* Phase 2: Testnet (March 2020 – December 2021): They launched a live Testnet with nodes in multiple locations around the world to test the stability, speed, and scalability of their blockchain. Developers could also start building apps on this test version of the chain.

*第2階段：Testnet（2020年3月 - 2021年12月）：他們在世界各地的多個位置發射了一個帶有節點的實時測試網，以測試其區塊鏈的穩定性，速度和可擴展性。開發人員還可以在此測試版本的鏈條上構建應用程序。

* Phase 3: Enclosed Mainnet (December 2021 – Early 2025): The main network (Mainnet) went live, but it was still walled off, unable to connect to outside systems without permission. The main goals during this time were to get Pioneers through Know Your Customer (KYC) checks and transfer their mined Pi to the Mainnet blockchain. Inside this closed system, people could use Pi for transactions in Pi apps or choose to lock up Pi for faster mining. The team was focused on fostering more app development and use cases within the Pi ecosystem. By early 2025

*第3階段：封閉的主網（2021年12月 - 2025年初）：主網絡（mainnet）上線，但仍被圍困，未經許可就無法連接到外部系統。這段時間的主要目標是通過了解您的客戶（KYC）檢查並將其開采的PI轉移到主網區塊鏈中。在此封閉的系統中，人們可以在PI應用程序中使用PI進行交易，或者選擇鎖定PI以進行更快的採礦。該團隊專注於在PI生態系統中促進更多的應用程序開發和用例。到2025年初
