I feel a strong sense of responsibility toward the Pi Network community because I have been one of its main advocates over the years.
We will give the Pi Core Team @PiCoreTeam until the end of August to deliver significant progress on Pi Network.
As I have said before, what the Pi Core Team @PiCoreTeam has achieved so far feels like 2 years’ worth of work stretched over 7 years.
The Pi community deserves clear answers on the following:
1. Updated Whitepaper and Roadmap
There is still no clear timeline. The community is tired of guessing Pi Network’s goals, direction, and long-term vision.
2. Clear Tokenomics Explanation
The circulating supply is around 11 billion Pi, with an effective total supply of around 17 billion Pi. The current price is around $0.098, while close to 83 billion Pi remains.
What is the plan for this large remaining supply? What burn mechanisms will be introduced?
3. Blockchain Protocol Upgrade to V26
The V26 upgrade was expected in mid-June. We are now in July, yet Pi Network is still stuck on Version 24. Why the delay?
4. The Promised 100 DApps
The Pi Core Team promised 100 DApps by 2024. Two years later, we only have a few community DApps and no serious, highly engaging ecosystem. Where are the promised 100 DApps?
5. Community DApp Funding and Support
Over the past 7 years, the majority of the Pi Network community has gained very little from Pi Network.
Where is the funding for community DApps? Where is the influencer programme? I have not heard of a single community member receiving meaningful support to build DApps.
Instead, I have heard many stories from Pi Network DApp builders who abandoned their projects because they could no longer cover operational costs.
So where is the promised $100 million fund going?
The Pi Network community is one of the most dedicated and loyal communities in crypto. Yet the Pi Core Team continues to treat the community like a liability instead of its greatest asset.
The community deserves answers and solid progress from the Pi Core Team by the end of August.
Share this post and tag the Pi Core Team. If this goes viral, it can attract media attention. If it attracts media attention, the Core Team may finally wake up from their comfort zone and deliver.

Open Letter to @PiCoreTeam@nkokkalis & @Chengdiao
I have always supported Pi Network, but I have to be brutally honest with the Pi Core Team.
With the exception of AI Studio, most of what has been delivered so far could have been delivered by 2022 at the latest.
I am honestly not sure what has been built over the past 7 years, especially after Open Network.
The community has had enough builders, but many gave up because they could not cover basic running costs. So the question is simple: where is the $100 million Foundation money going?
I still have not seen a single community builder who has received meaningful support from the $100 million allocated.
The community has been patient, loyal, and supportive for years. But patience should not be taken for granted.
Pi Core Team, it is time to deliver with urgency.

🚨 Listings won’t save Pi in the long run… here’s why 👇
Everyone is waiting for that one moment:
👉 “When Pi gets listed, we go to the moon” 🚀
But reality is a bit different…
Pi Network getting listed on a big exchange would be HUGE — no doubt.
BUT 👇
💡 Listings create access… not value
We’ve seen it before in crypto: Tokens get listed → hype spikes → then reality hits 📉
🔥 What actually matters long-term?
🔹 Real demand (people USING Pi)
🔹 Real liquidity (buyers > sellers)
🔹 Real utility (apps, payments, ecosystem)
Without that… a listing is just temporary hype.
🚨 Hard truth:
If everyone is waiting to sell at listing… who’s buying? 🤔
That’s the game.
👉 Smart money watches behavior — not headlines.
Thats why I always post that I want utilities......as many as possible 😁🌹

Pi Network Is Entering the “Activation Phase”.
Something subtle — but powerful — is happening inside Pi Network…
We’re moving from:
👉 Building infrastructure
➡️ to activating the network
What does that mean?
⚙️ Nodes upgraded and aligned
🔄 More Pi reaching Mainnet
📱 Tools and apps becoming usable
👥 Users starting to interact more
This is the phase where a network stops being passive…
and starts becoming active.
Not hype. Not speculation.
👉 Usage.
And in crypto, that’s the turning point.
Because once a network activates…
momentum can follow fast. 🚀
Are we about to see Pi truly come alive?

🚨 PI NETWORK: THE POWER OF NETWORK EFFECTS 🌍
In technology, a strange law often appears: the bigger the network becomes, the faster it can grow.
This is called network effects — and it may be one of the most important forces behind the growth of Pi Network.
Here’s the simple idea.
A digital network becomes more valuable every time a new person joins.
More users mean more interaction, more developers, more apps, and more opportunities for an economy to form.
And Pi already has something many crypto projects struggle to achieve:
📱 A massive global community
🌍 Users across hundreds of countries
🔐 Millions of verified humans through KYC
⚙️ Growing infrastructure with nodes and apps
When developers look for a blockchain to build on, they often ask a simple question
“Where are the users?”
If a network already has millions of real participants, the incentive to build there becomes much stronger.
In the strange ecosystem of crypto, technology matters — but communities often decide the winners.
And the scale of the Pi community could become one of the most powerful forces behind its future growth.

🚨 PI NETWORK: WHY COMMUNITY SIZE MATTERS IN CRYPTO 🌍
In the crypto universe, technology matters… but community often matters even more.
And this is where Pi Network becomes extremely interesting.
While many blockchain projects are fighting to reach even a few hundred thousand users, Pi has spent years growing a massive global community. Tens of millions of people have already joined the network.
That scale creates something economists love to talk about: network effects. Here’s the simple idea.
A network becomes more valuable every time a new participant joins.
Think about social media. A platform with 100 users is almost useless. A platform with 10 million users suddenly becomes powerful because everyone can interact, trade, and build services.
The same logic applies to digital currencies.
When a blockchain already has:
📱 Millions of active users
🌍 Global geographic reach
🔐 Verified identities through KYC
⚙️ A growing ecosystem of apps
…it becomes far easier for developers, businesses, and marketplaces to build on top of it.
In other words, the network itself becomes a launchpad for an entire digital economy.
Crypto history has shown this pattern many times: The projects that eventually dominate are often the ones with the strongest communities behind them.
And when it comes to community size…
Pi is already playing in a very large league.

Lawfully armed citizens are not the ones that should be disarmed in a country where 71 people are murdered every day.
Between 1 October and 31 December 2025, 6 351 South Africans were murdered. That is 71 murders per day, nearly three every hour.
In the same three-month period, 11 430 rapes were recorded. That is more than five rapes every hour. There were also 6 730 attempted murders and 38 442 serious assaults.
This is the reality in which the debate about firearm ownership is taking place.
The crisis in South Africa is not lawfully armed citizens. The crisis is illegal firearms, illicit trafficking, diversion, organised criminal networks and corruption.
In many serious crime categories, our detection rate sits at roughly 12%. That means nearly nine out of ten serious crimes do not result in a detected suspect.
Before anyone proposes tighter controls on compliant, licensed firearm owners, they must explain how citizens are expected to protect themselves in a system where the likelihood of detection and conviction remains so low.
Lawfully armed citizens comply with licensing requirements, background checks and strict regulatory controls. They are not the drivers of organised crime. Criminal syndicates are armed through illegal supply chains that the state has failed to dismantle.
When response times are stretched, when forensic backlogs delay justice, and when conviction rates lag behind arrest statistics, responsible citizens inevitably become their own first and last line of defence.
Disarming law-abiding people while illegal firearms continue to flood communities is neither rational nor defensible.
If government is serious about reducing the 71 murders per day, it must focus on:
• Dismantling illegal firearm networks
• Strengthening border controls
• Rooting out corruption within SAPS
• Restoring forensic capacity
• Measuring success by convictions, not arrests
Until detection rates improve and organised criminal networks are decisively disrupted, lawfully armed citizens remain a necessary safeguard in a country still struggling to protect its own.
To top that, law-abiding armed citizens are the only true safeguard against state tyranny. It’s not me saying so, but history itself.

Some Pi Network Pioneers are not happy about my last post.
Listen! I know the Pi Core Team reads my posts, and this message is directed straight to them.
Pi Network progress is unjustifiably slow. The Pi Core Team is sitting on billions of dollars - yet we are expected to believe they cannot hire enough top tier blockchain engineers to accelerate development?
The Pi blockchain Protocol 23 upgrade began in September. Six months later, the network is still stuck on Testnet 1. Even after Testnet 1 is completed, it must move to Testnet 2, and only then to Mainnet - a process that will likely take several more months.
For comparison, the Stellar Foundation upgraded its blockchain to Protocol 23 in just a couple of months, and then progressed to Protocol 25 shortly after.
And let me be clear: Pi blockchain is derived from Stellar protocol, which means the upgrade path should be faster, not slower. This level of delay is not a resource problem - it is an execution problem.
Share this post so the Core Team understands how frustrated the Pi community has become.
@PiCoreTeam@nkokkalis
Pi Network’s long-overdue project deliverables must materialize in 2026. The Pi Core Team needs to do more to demonstrate transparency and respect for the millions of Pioneers who have supported the network for many years. @PiCoreTeam@nkokkalis@Chengdiao
