Pi Network Announces Pi Launch on February 20, 2025
The wait is finally over for millions of Pi Network enthusiasts, as the Pi Core Team has officially announced that the Open Network will launch at 8 AM UTC on February 20, 2025. This marks a significant milestone for the project, which has been in development for over six years.
In an official tweet from @PiCoreTeam the announcement highlighted that the Open Network phase will bring expanded opportunities for Pioneers. With over 60 millions of engaged users and a utilities-driven ecosystem, the launch will enable Pi holders to connect with external systems, allowing for real-world applications like never before.
Bringing Pi to the Real World
The transition to the Open Network is expected to be a game-changer, as it will allow seamless integration between Pi and external platforms. This means Pi could potentially be used for transactions, payments, and various decentralized applications (dApps) beyond its existing closed ecosystem.
The move signals a step toward mainstream adoption and utility, fulfilling Pi Network's vision of a decentralized and inclusive digital currency.
Grace Period Deadline Extended
In another major development, the Pi Core Team has extended the Grace Period deadline for KYC verification and Mainnet migration from January 31, 2025, to February 28, 2025. This decision aims to ensure inclusivity and fairness, providing more Pioneers with the opportunity to complete their verification and fully migrate their Pi holdings.
The extension is expected to help more community members secure their tokens and contribute to the expanding Pi Network ecosystem.
What’s Next for Pi Network?
With the Open Network on the horizon, the focus now shifts to how businesses, developers, and users will leverage Pi for real-world applications. The success of this next phase will depend on adoption, partnerships, and how well the ecosystem can integrate Pi into everyday transactions.
Pioneers are encouraged to stay updated through the Pi mining app and official channels to ensure they complete the necessary steps for KYC and migration before the extended deadline.
As the Pi Network moves closer to full decentralization, excitement is at an all-time high. The Open Network launch is set to be a defining moment, not only for the Pi community but for the broader blockchain and cryptocurrency space.
