From 60 Million Users to the Global Spotlight: Pi Network's Bold Entry at Consensus 2025
In a move set to shake the blockchain world, Pi Network, the rapidly growing Web3 ecosystem with over 60 million real-name verified users, is poised to make its first-ever appearance at the highly anticipated Consensus 2025 event. Organized by CoinDesk, Consensus is the largest and most influential annual gathering of crypto and Web3 professionals worldwide. This year, the presence of Pi Network marks a pivotal moment in the project’s transition from a closed ecosystem to a truly global, decentralized platform.
Since its inception in 2019, Pi Network has captivated a worldwide audience by offering a mobile-first mining experience that requires no advanced hardware or technical knowledge. As of early 2025, its ecosystem has evolved significantly, with developers actively building decentralized applications (DApps) around the Pi SDK, Pi Browser, and a fully integrated native payment system. This momentum has helped Pi cement its place as one of the most anticipated blockchain projects to enter the open mainnet phase.
A Global User Base Poised for Web3 Impact
Pi Network's biggest strength lies in its unparalleled community. With over 60 million real-name authenticated users, the platform has become a powerhouse of peer-to-peer interaction. This community has driven the development of thousands of local barter marketplaces, Pi commerce platforms, and ecosystem applications that rely on the native Pi cryptocurrency.
Unlike traditional blockchains that struggle with real-world adoption, Pi Network has flipped the model: it focused first on building an engaged, utility-driven community before opening full access to external exchanges or speculative trading. This user-first approach is what Pi will highlight during its Consensus 2025 debut.
Showcasing Developer Momentum and Ecosystem Growth
A key theme of Pi Network’s presence at Consensus will be its surging developer activity. Through its open-source Pi SDK, developers can integrate the Pi payment system into DApps hosted on the Pi Browser. This frictionless design removes complex crypto wallet interactions and focuses on delivering practical applications for everyday users.
The Pi Core Team has also supported developers with grants, hackathons, and a growing suite of tools to accelerate decentralized innovation within the ecosystem. From decentralized marketplaces to social finance platforms, developers are leveraging Pi’s unique infrastructure to create applications that are accessible, secure, and community-driven.
Why Consensus 2025 Matters for Pi Network
The 2025 edition of Consensus is particularly significant, as it signals a shift in industry focus toward utility, scalability, and global adoption—areas where Pi Network excels. The Pi Core Team will participate in keynote panels, ecosystem showcases, and developer workshops to share insights into the network’s vision and technological roadmap.
Pi Network’s message to the world is clear: blockchain adoption should be inclusive, simple, and human-centered. With a presence at Consensus, Pi aims to open doors to new partnerships, regulatory collaborations, and developer alliances that will further enhance its journey toward the open mainnet.
A New Chapter: From Enclosed to Open Mainnet
The Consensus 2025 appearance is expected to coincide with major announcements about the network’s progress toward full mainnet launch. The Pi Core Team has been implementing a phased rollout, starting with enclosed mainnet and ecosystem growth, before moving to full decentralization and external exchange listings.
One of the key achievements leading up to Consensus is the rapid pace of KYC (Know Your Customer) verifications and the successful migration of millions of user wallets to the mainnet blockchain. These milestones position Pi Network to meet the criteria for a stable, secure, and fair mainnet launch.
Backed by a Vision for Global Financial Inclusion
What sets Pi Network apart is not just its technology, but its mission: to build an inclusive digital economy where anyone can participate and benefit from the blockchain revolution. In regions underserved by traditional finance, Pi offers a gateway to digital empowerment.
Pi Network is set to debut at #Consensus2025, stepping into the global Web3 spotlight.

Insights into the mainnet progress and utility roadmap
Educational sessions on how Pi is simplifying blockchain adoption
Pi Network will also host panel discussions on topics such as "The Future of Mobile Mining," "Building for the Next Billion Users," and "Decentralization with Utility."
Final Thoughts: A Defining Moment for Pi Network
The journey from 60 million users to the global stage at Consensus 2025 marks a transformative milestone for Pi Network. No longer just a viral mobile app, Pi is emerging as a serious contender in the global Web3 arena, offering a blend of accessibility, community strength, and developer innovation.
As Consensus 2025 unfolds, all eyes will be on how Pi Network defines its role in the next phase of the decentralized internet. For millions of Pioneers around the world, this event is not just a debut—it’s a declaration.
