On May 9, a restaurant located in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do, registered as GCV Merchant and crossed 10% of its meals with GCV value. Ten percent is not important. It is important that the ecosystem, where everyone believes and chants GCV in one mind, is increasing at an incredible pace and joining.
From January to March, over three months, GCV recorded 582 transactions and 54 merchants.
But in April alone, the ecosystem surged to 768 transactions and 125 merchants — a massive leap in participation and growth.
Right now, in South Korea, the GCV movement is spreading like wildfire.
K-Food, K-Beauty, K-Drama, K-Pop…
Now, it’s time for K-GCV.
The momentum is real. The expansion is happening. The ecosystem is alive.
South of Gyeonggi Ambassador signed this restaurant up for GCV mercants and 40 people paid 10% of their meals for GCV. I talked about GCV training and the distribution map in Piscan.
They chanted GCV and left behind a lot of GCV transactions.
아래 분포도를 보면 당신은 어디에 속해 있나요?
당신은 단순히 1,790만 명 중 한 사람이 아닙니다.
전 세계 80억 인구를 기준으로 본다면, 지금 이 순간 Pi를 보유하고 있는 당신은 이미 ‘상위 극소수’에 속한 사람입니다.
그 자체로 엄청난 기회이자 행운입니다. 자부심을 가지십시오.
절대, 그 가치를 스스로 낮추지 마십시오.
낮은 가격에 CEX로 흘려보내는 순간, 우리가 만들어갈 미래 가치도 함께 사라집니다.
현재 데이터를 보면 전 세계적으로 약 699마리의 ‘돌고래’가 존재합니다.
국가 수를 약 230개로 가정하면, 평균적으로 국가당 3마리 수준입니다.
하지만 대한민국은 다릅니다.
추산으로 100마리 이상의 돌고래가 존재하는, 압도적인 보유 국가입니다.
참치는 더 많습니다.
한국은 단순 보유량뿐 아니라 ‘사용 가능한 잔액’과 ‘채굴량’ 모두에서 강력한 위치에 있습니다.
그 이유는 명확합니다.
수많은 파이오니어들이 NODE 운영에 참여하고 있기 때문입니다.
NODE는 선택이 아닙니다. 필수입니다.
네트워크에 기여하고, 그 기여는 결국 보상으로 돌아옵니다.
만약 NODE가 어렵다면 다른 방법도 있습니다.
2차 락업, 유틸리티 점수 상승, 그리고 가장 중요한 실제 사용입니다.
GCV 결제를 통해 트랜잭션을 쌓으십시오.
그 데이터는 단순한 기록이 아니라, 미래 Pi 가치의 근거가 됩니다.
1 Pi의 가치를 만들기 위해 필요한 것은 단순합니다.
“사용”입니다.
1PI를 사용하려면 100번의 결제가 필요합니다.
1790만 명이 각각 100번의 GCV 결제를 만든다면 그 순간 GCV는 현실이 됩니다.
Pi의 가치는 누가 정해주는 것이 아닙니다.
우리가 만들고, 우리가 결정합니다.
소통과 참여, 그리고 행동
그것이 우리가 GCV로 가는 가장 빠른 길입니다.
There are over 18 million identity-verified users on Pi.
But there is one clear difference between Pi’s users and others.
1 million verified users on Pi ≠ 1 million users on other networks.
Most networks measure growth in accounts.
Few measure it in verified users.
There’s a difference.
Pi recognized the importance of identity verification early on and that unverified account creation is simply not enough. Verified identities are needed for any meaningful transactions, especially in real-world economies.
Any time an asset (like crypto, fiat currency, property, etc.) is transferred, it raises a basic question of identity: who is sending it, and who is receiving it. If those identities aren’t clear, it becomes difficult to trust that the transfer is valid or that it went to the right person.
Therefore, Pi Network has built a fully KYC-verified Mainnet ecosystem.
Because when users are verified:
Spam drops.
Trust increases.
Utility becomes more reliable.
Acknowledgment & Vision — South Korea GCV Leadership 🇰🇷
We proudly acknowledge the outstanding contribution of South Korea Head of GCV Ambassador, Mr. JinTaek Jun.
Through the introduction of the CEO of Incheon Metropolitan Newspaper, he successfully onboarded a new GCV Merchant into our ecosystem.
This is not just a business — it is a socially responsible organization, providing scholarships to underprivileged youth and supporting elderly communities through meaningful welfare initiatives.
The store offers a wide range of products, from daily necessities to health supplements, bringing real value to pioneers.
Mr. Jun personally completed the onboarding and executed a GCV transaction, demonstrating true leadership through action.
With 20%–30% GCV payment options, pioneers can purchase products at lower cost while contributing to a meaningful cause.
This is a powerful example of wisdom and vision.
In today’s world, inflation continues to rise.
Especially with global tensions such as the situation around the Strait of Hormuz, the prices of goods are increasing rapidly.
In this reality, even 10%–30% payment in Pi can significantly reduce the burden on families.
But pioneers must clearly understand:
We cannot expect full Pi payment overnight without effort.
👉 Partial payment is the bridge to full Pi payment.
Without a partial Pi payment strategy, no ecosystem can survive.
And without a functioning ecosystem, there is no success for Pi Network.
So what should we do?
We must appreciate every GCV merchant.
They are not just businesses — they are the lifeblood of the Pi ecosystem.
And every pioneer must remember:
Supporting GCV merchants is supporting ourselves.
When merchants grow → the ecosystem grows
When the ecosystem grows → Pi becomes stronger
When Pi becomes stronger → every pioneer benefits
This is not just participation.
This is building the real economy of Pi together.

GCV training was conducted in Incheon, where the first GCV activity began in Korea, and a company that sells socks at GCV value participated and sold socks. Many members participated and left many transactions. Currently, Korea has 47 GCV stores and is actively active.
