Prezzo PI

Pi Network is a blockchain project that allows you to mine Pi cryptocurrency on your mobile phone without draining your battery. Launched in 2019 by Stanford graduates, it aims to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone.

Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Pi uses an energy-efficient consensus algorithm, enabling you to mine crypto by contributing to the network's security and growth. You can start mining by downloading the Pi Network app and tapping the lightning button every 24 hours. 

As you engage with the app and invite others, your mining rate can increase. Pi Network envisions building a peer-to-peer ecosystem where you can use Pi to exchange goods and services within its community.

Pi Network employs a consensus algorithm adapted from the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), which is energy-efficient and allows mining without heavy resource consumption. 

Pi Network enables you to mine Pi cryptocurrency directly from your mobile phone without draining your battery. To start, download the Pi Network app and sign up with an invitation code from an existing member. Once registered, open the app daily and tap the lightning bolt icon to activate a 24-hour mining session. Regular engagement ensures continuous mining.

To enhance your mining rate, consider inviting trusted friends and family to join your earning team. As they become active miners, your rate increases. After three days of mining, you can create a Security Circle by adding members you trust. Each active member in your Security Circle boosts your mining rate by 20%, up to a maximum of 100% with five members. 

As the network grows, Pi aims to build a peer-to-peer ecosystem where you can use Pi to exchange goods and services within the community. In the Open Network phase after the mainnet launch, Pi plans to allow external connectivity, enabling broader use cases and integration with other blockchains.

Pi Network was founded by Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdiao Fan. They launched the project on March 14, 2019—Pi Day.

The development of Pi Network has progressed through several key phases:

1. Beta Phase (Phase I): Started in December 2018 with the mobile app's alpha prototype, leading to the official launch in March 2019.

2. Testnet Phase (Phase II): Began on March 14, 2020, introducing a live Testnet with distributed nodes worldwide.

3. Mainnet Phase (Phase III): Initiated in December 2021 with the Enclosed Network period, restricting external connectivity. The Open Network period commenced on February 20, 2025, allowing full external connectivity and integration with other networks.

To claim your Pi Network (PI) airdrop, follow these steps:

1. Complete KYC Verification: Open the Pi Network app and navigate to the KYC section. Submit the required identification documents to verify your identity. This step is essential for eligibility.

2. Migrate to Mainnet: After KYC approval, initiate the migration of your mined Pi coins to the Mainnet within the app. Ensure this is done before the grace period ends on February 28, 2025, to secure your balance.

3. Participate in Exchange Airdrops: Some exchanges are offering additional Pi airdrops. Check participating exchanges for eligibility criteria and deadlines.

Remember to stay updated through official Pi Network channels and participating exchanges to avoid missing out on any opportunities.

To mine Pi coins on the Pi Network, follow these steps:

1. Download the Pi Network App: Available for free on Android and iOS devices.

2. Register an Account: Sign up using your phone number or Facebook account.

3. Start Mining $PI Coins: Open the app and tap the lightning bolt icon to begin a 24-hour mining session. You don't need to keep the app open; it won't drain your battery.

4. Maintain Daily Mining: Return every 24 hours to tap the lightning bolt and continue mining.

5. Enhance Your Mining Rate: Invite trusted friends to join your earning team. Each active member boosts your rate by 25%. After three days, create a Security Circle by adding trusted members, increasing your rate by up to 100%.

For advanced users, running a Pi Node on your computer can further support the network and may offer additional rewards. Remember, consistent participation and building a trusted network are key to maximizing your Pi mining experience.

The total maximum supply of Pi is 100 billion tokens, allocated as follows:

> Mining Rewards (65%): Allocated to users who mine Pi through the mobile app, participate in referrals, and operate nodes.

> Ecosystem Growth (10%): Reserved for funding decentralized applications and projects that contribute to the network's expansion.

> Liquidity Pool (5%): Set aside to ensure smooth transactions within the Pi economy.

> Core Team (20%): Allocated to the core team, with a vesting schedule to align incentives with the network's long-term development.

Pi Network's economic model emphasizes meritocratic mining, rewarding users who actively contribute to network security and growth. The mining rewards follow a logarithmically declining function, meaning early adopters mine more Pi than later participants, creating a balance between rewarding early contributors and ensuring accessibility for new users.

The referral system allows users to increase their mining rate by inviting others, promoting network expansion. Additionally, developer rewards are minted alongside mining and referral transactions to fund ongoing development, ensuring the ecosystem's sustainable growth without relying on external funding mechanisms.

Pi Network's cryptocurrency, Pi, serves multiple purposes within its ecosystem:

1. Medium of Exchange: You can use Pi to buy goods and services within the Pi Network's peer-to-peer marketplace.

2. Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Pi aims to support decentralized financial (DeFi) applications, allowing you to engage in activities like staking, lending, and earning interest.

3. Community Engagement: By participating in the network and inviting others, you help expand the community, which can enhance the value and utility of Pi.

As Pi Network transitions to its Open Network phase, you will be able to use Pi beyond the internal ecosystem, including potential trading on external exchanges.
