Pi Network Faces Centralization Crisis as Vietnam Dominates 48% of Nodes
Pi Network’s decentralized foundation is under scrutiny as Vietnam now controls nearly half of its global node operations. Data shows 154 out of 319 active nodes are concentrated in Vietnam, challenging the project’s distributed governance model.
This geographic imbalance threatens Pi Network’s Core principles. Originally marketed as a decentralized alternative to traditional cryptocurrencies, the current node distribution creates potential single-point-of-failure risks and governance vulnerabilities.
Operational metrics reveal 33 Vietnamese nodes currently processing transactions—representing a disproportionate share of network infrastructure. This level of concentration contradicts fundamental Web3 values of geographic diversity and censorship resistance.
