Pi Network Flips the Switch: Mainnet Access Goes Live for Millions

After years of ’mining’ through mobile apps, Pi Network finally unlocks real wallets—just as retail investors start eyeing crypto again. Timing is everything, isn’t it?

The so-called ’people’s crypto’ now faces its reckoning: Can a token born from faucet-style distribution actually hold value when exposed to real markets? Early adopters are about to find out.

Wall Street won’t lose sleep over this—yet. But if Pi’s army of users actually starts transacting, even the suits might need to check their Bloomberg terminals twice.

In addition to improving accessibility for existing users, Pi has introduced a new onboarding method for people who are not yet part of the network. In select regions, third-party services will now enable newcomers to create a Pi Mainnet wallet, provided they complete identity verification. However, the team clarified that this wallet setup does not grant access to Pi tokens or speed up the migration process—it’s simply a way to let new users establish a presence on the network.

While Pi’s user base continues to grow and development progresses, questions still circulate regarding its long-term viability. Some critics have raised concerns about the project’s structure, suggesting it resembles a pyramid scheme. Despite this, Pi Network maintains a strong following, and the latest feature aims to push the platform closer to full utility.
