What are Pi ecosystem tokens and what is the design thinking for ecosystem tokens on Mainnet? Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan dives deep into Pi’s unique approach to ecosystem token design — Pi’s focus is not on tokens for their own sake, or on mechanisms and integrations in isolation, but on enabling useful, utility-driven tokens and supporting the real innovation behind them. Learn more on the specifics of ecosystem token design here. Pioneers are encouraged to comment, discuss with other community members and share specific suggestions on specific sections. github.com/PiNetwork/PiRC

One day left before Open Network's launch at 8:00AM UTC on February 20, 2025! youtube.com/shorts/hIbfhu0fD… The transition to Open Network will enable external connectivity on the Mainnet blockchain, allowing Pi to interface with other compliant networks and systems. This means Pioneers will be able to engage in transactions beyond the Pi ecosystem, expanding Pi’s utility and reach.

Essential reminder as we get closer to Open Network: It is important for Pioneers to safeguard their Pi account and watch out for potential bad actors and activities, scams, and individuals impersonating others. Please be careful of unaffiliated and unauthorized activities, some of which may be associated with fraudulent events and actions meant to defraud our users by their misappropriation and unauthorized use of Pi’s name and trademark. Neither Pi Network, nor anyone affiliated with Pi Network, has any affiliation whatsoever with any parties organizing or engaging in such illegal or harmful activities to our users or the community. Any such activities which seek to charge users money or make false and misleading promises of monetary rewards or future profits, or MLM are unauthorized by Pi Network—Pi is free to mine and has never been for sale. Always refer to the official Pi Safety Center for official communications channels, official links to Pi apps and products, and other information on how to safeguard your Pi account and wallet. minepi.com/safety/
