Pi Network Celebrates 100 Days of Open Mainnet with Surging User Growth and Ecosystem Expansion
Three months after transitioning to an open blockchain, Pi Network is demonstrating tangible progress in real-world adoption. The project's February shift from a closed system has unlocked new possibilities, with over 3 million additional users migrating to Mainnet—bringing total active participants to 13 million. More than 7.4 billion Pi tokens have been mobilized, including 5.2 billion in locked positions and 2.2 billion liquid.
A $100 million ecosystem fund signals serious infrastructure ambitions. Pi Network Ventures will fuel startups leveraging the blockchain's capabilities, with gaming emerging as an early focus area. The FruityPi pilot demonstrates how in-game transactions, advertising, and wallet integration could FORM the backbone of a digital economy.
The network's first commerce initiative, PiFest, recently tested peer-to-peer transaction viability. While challenges remain in scaling utility, these developments suggest PI is evolving beyond speculative tokenomics toward functional blockchain applications.
