PiCoin Cash Fork Emerges as Scalability Solution for Pi Network’s Growing Pains

Pi Network is under increasing scrutiny as users face persistent transaction bottlenecks during cash-outs. The network's current infrastructure is buckling under volume, resulting in delays that are now reflected in Pi Coin's valuation of $0.4199—a 24-hour metric highlighting market skepticism about its technical constraints.

Enter PiCoin Cash (PCH), a hard fork specifically engineered to tackle these issues through technical upgrades. By implementing larger block sizes and reduced fees, PCH aims to become a practical alternative for everyday transactions. While original PI Network transactions can sometimes cost more than the transferred amount, PCH promises economic feasibility for microtransactions.

The fork's launch comes at a pivotal moment. Pi Network's $3.25 billion market cap indicates significant adoption, but without scalable infrastructure, its utility as a payment system remains largely theoretical. Analysts suggest that if PCH succeeds, it could transition Pi from a speculative asset to a functional cryptocurrency.
