Pi’s 100 Million Downloads Inspire Hope Despite Doubts from Developers
- Pi Network surpasses 100M app downloads, outpacing Coinbase/OKX, with 60M active miners and 25M KYC-verified users. - PI coin stabilized above $0.21 despite 5.49% drop, showing reduced exchange selling pressure and community-driven price resilience. - Sale of flagship dApp WorkforcePool raises sustainability concerns as developers criticize slow decentralization and limited support. - Platform expands into AI/robotics via OpenMind partnership, aiming to solidify crypto ecosystem position with 8M mainnet
Pi Network Surpasses 100 Million Downloads, Stirring Both Hope and Doubt in the Cryptocurrency Community
Pi Network has exceeded 100 million downloads, surpassing leading crypto apps such as Coinbase and OKX, as reported by
Yet, obstacles remain. The sale of WorkforcePool, the first dApp to win a Pi Hackathon, has sparked debate among developers about the project’s long-term viability. Once a flagship freelance marketplace, WorkforcePool is now on the market due to operational challenges such as increasing expenses and slow progress on the mainnet, according to
Nevertheless, Pi’s move into decentralized computing and artificial intelligence could provide new opportunities. Recent collaborations, including a partnership with OpenMind to develop a decentralized AI operating system for robotics, demonstrate the network’s intent to expand beyond mining. With 8 million users already transitioned to mainnet and a launch targeted for Q1 2025, Pi is working to strengthen its role in the crypto sector.
The future of the project depends on its ability to match rapid user growth with technological progress. While forecasts for 2026 suggest downloads could reach 1 billion if mainnet adoption accelerates, developers emphasize the importance of improved governance and funding to keep talent engaged. For now, Pi stands as a divisive presence in crypto—a platform that has broadened access for millions but faces increasing demands to fulfill its ambitious goals.
