Pi Network Surpasses 13 Million Users in First 100 Days

Pi Network, a blockchain-based platform, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 13 million users on its Mainnet within the first 100 days of its launch. This accomplishment marks a pivotal moment in the network's six-year development journey, which has focused on bridging external blockchain connectivity with real-world applications and commerce.

The launch of the Open Network has been instrumental in this growth, enabling full connectivity between Pi and the broader blockchain landscape. This connectivity has facilitated a wide range of use cases, including merchant adoption, gaming, digital domain ownership, and advertising monetization. Businesses and developers can now integrate with the network after passing Know Your Business (KYB) verification, fostering a more interconnected and functional ecosystem.

One of the most notable developments during this period is the launch of Pi Network Ventures, a $100 million fund held in both Pi and USD. This fund is dedicated to backing startups focused on the utility, accessibility, and real-world application of the Pi ecosystem. Gaming has been identified as a strategic focus due to its potential for social engagement and virtual economy. The launch of FruityPi, a Pi-integrated fruit-matching game, exemplifies this direction by integrating core Pi tools such as the Pi Wallet, Pi Ad Network, and Pi payments, demonstrating how entertainment applications can anchor users to the broader ecosystem.

PiFest, held from March 14 to March 21, 2025, was the first commerce-focused event after the Open Network went live. It showcased the power of real-time, Pi-based transactions with over 125,000 registered sellers, 58,000 active sellers, and 1.8 million Pioneers using the community-built Map of Pi app. Over 45,000 reviews were submitted, reinforcing the growing commercial interest in Pi as a medium of exchange.

In addition to commerce, Pi has introduced .pi Domains, a platform-level utility for users and businesses to claim unique digital identities within the Pi ecosystem. More than 69,000 domains have seen active bids, with over 3 million Pi offered across 123,000+ bids. This marks a significant step in expanding digital ownership anchored in Pi’s blockchain.

Several improvements were made to the Mainnet Ecosystem Interface, including direct app submissions via the Developer Portal, enhanced user interface design for easier navigation, and the expansion of the Pi Ad Network to include monetization for selected apps. These enhancements signal ongoing developer interest and a commitment to improving the user experience.

Network metrics reflect the rapid expansion of Pi Network, with 13 million users now migrated to Mainnet, 7.4 billion Pi migrated, and 5.2 billion locked. Additionally, there are 400,000+ active nodes across Mainnet and testnets, indicating a robust and growing network infrastructure.

Security and accessibility have also seen major upgrades, including the introduction of 2FA for Pi Wallet migrations, email-based verification to replace SMS-based limitations, and new wallet activation pathways for KYC’d and tentatively KYC’d users. A trusted email-based account recovery method is now live, and updates have been rolled out to fix KYC bottlenecks and support Yoti users.

The first 100 days of Pi’s Open Network have established a robust foundation for real-world adoption. With millions of users, hundreds of thousands of apps and nodes, and new tools for developers and businesses, Pi Network is accelerating its mission to build a globally inclusive and utility-based crypto ecosystem. The next phase will focus on expanding use cases, reinforcing security, and growing network participation.
