After multiple delays of the Pi network mainnet launch from 2024 to now 2025, the wait is finally over. The core team has officially announced that the Tap to Earn Pi Coin Network will launch on February 20, 2025, at 8 AM UTC. The announcement has stirred excitement in the network with Pi coin price surged to $92 after being trading from $49.
Finally, Pi Mainnet To Launch On 20 Feb
Pi Network, which began in 2019, has built a strong community of users known as Pioneers who have been mining Pi tokens on their mobile devices. However, despite its rapid growth, the transition to an open mainnet faced multiple delays, pushing the launch from 2024 to 2025.
Now that the key conditions have been met—19 million Pioneers have verified their identity through the Pi KYC solution, and 10.14 million have successfully migrated to the Mainnet, surpassing the original 10 million goal.
Additionally, Pi Network has reached over 100 Mainnet or Mainnet-ready apps, meeting its target to create a vibrant and diverse ecosystem for Open Network.

The Pi Network will officially launch its mainnet on February 20, 2025, at 8:00 AM UTC.
What to Expect from Pi Network’s Open Network Launch
Pi Network’s Open Network launch is set to bring a major transformation, allowing Pi to connect with external systems for the first time. This will open new opportunities for Pioneers and businesses, expanding Pi’s real-world use.
External Connectivity and Expanded Utility
With an Open Network, Pi’s blockchain will no longer be restricted, enabling transactions beyond its ecosystem. Pioneers will be able to interact with other compliant networks, making Pi more functional in the digital economy.
Node Transition to Mainnet
After launch, the firewall will be removed, allowing nodes to join the Mainnet blockchain. The Core Team will prioritize reliable contributors when transitioning nodes from Testnet to Mainnet.
Secure and Verified Participation
To ensure a safe environment, KYC verification will be required for Pioneers, while businesses must complete KYB verification. A list of KYB-verified businesses will be available on the Pi website.
Pi’s Message for Remaining Pioneers
Pioneers who haven’t completed KYC or migrated to Mainnet still have the chance to do so, even after the Open Network launch. They are encouraged to use Pi apps through the Pi Browser to help grow the ecosystem and increase Pi’s real-world use.
The Open Network launch is confirmed and will not be delayed by external factors or changing market conditions.
Pi Coin Price Surge 80%
Since the announcement, Pi Coin’s price has surged by 80%, reaching $92 within hours. Meanwhile, experts predict that the official launch of Pi Network could push Pi Coin’s price beyond $100.
