Pioneers, Pi Network’s external connectivity is now live! This marks a major milestone where Pi’s thriving ecosystem, innovative applications, and peer-to-peer network can now integrate with the broader blockchain world—advancing Pi’s mission of building an inclusive, utility-based, and widely accessible cryptocurrency.
After six years of community-driven growth, Open Network connects Pi to the world. Pioneers can now interact with other compliant systems, and use Pi beyond its ecosystem, expanding its utility and global reach.
A public list of KYB-verified businesses is available to help Pioneers identify trusted companies. Businesses not listed can apply for KYB to join and integrate with the ecosystem.
Support for centralized exchanges (CEXs) and fiat onramps
Only KYB-approved businesses can create non-custodial Mainnet Pi wallets
Node version 0.5.1 released with performance improvements and ranking system preparation
Network firewall removed—nodes can now connect directly to the Mainnet
Coming Soon: Join the in-app Open Network Challenge next week to explore new features, complete tasks like team KYC, and earn fun rewards while learning about the ecosystem!
