Technical Updates and Strategic Partnerships
Pi Network has recently rolled out new artificial intelligence (AI) tools to enhance its Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. This upgrade is designed to reduce the reliance on manual checks, thereby expanding access to Mainnet unlocking for a larger number of users, particularly in regions facing shortages of human validators. The AI integration also aims to improve privacy protections for Pi Pioneers.
In parallel with these technical advancements, the Pi Network project has invested in CiDi Games. This partnership is intended to foster the development of Pi-enabled games and broaden the real-world utility of the PI token, offering new avenues for network participants to engage with the ecosystem.
Legal Action and Market Dynamics
The project is currently facing a significant legal challenge. A group of users has filed a lawsuit alleging that Pi Network engaged in secret, multi-billion PI token sales, manipulated the token's price, and deliberately delayed the launch of its Open Mainnet. The plaintiffs are seeking $10 million in damages and have named Pi Network co-founders Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdia Fan, along with other unnamed individuals, as defendants. A court hearing for this case is scheduled for December 23, 2025.
Concurrently, the PI token has experienced notable price declines from its earlier 2024 peaks. Market data indicates that over 182 million PI tokens are slated for release within the next 30 days. This translates to an average daily unlock of more than 6 million coins, a factor that typically increases the available supply in the market and can influence price movements.
Future Outlook and Community Speculation
The development team for Pi Network has not yet released official statements regarding specific updates planned for early 2025. However, there is ongoing speculation within the community about potential future announcements and developments.
