It claims to allow people to mine digital assets directly from their smartphones, but <\/span><span>its<\/span><span> open mainnet and native token have yet to see the light of day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Despite the uncertainty, the project has amassed a multi-million community worldwide. In December last year, its application <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/2-massive-pi-network-pi-achievements-ahead-of-scheduled-release-date\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>surpassed<\/span><\/a><span> the\u00a0major milestone of 100 million downloads, while countries like South Korea, Japan, India, China, Vietnam, and others have become strongholds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Most recently, Pi News (the leading blockchain media platform on Pi Network) <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PiNewsMedia\/status\/1890455011139743966\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>revealed<\/span><\/a><span> that over 3.7 million people now follow the project on X (formerly known as Twitter). Thus, it surpassed Ethereum\u2019s subscriber base, which has a similar count.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Moreover, Pi News claimed that the only four cryptocurrencies that have more followers on X than <\/span><span>Pi<\/span><span> Network are Binance Coin (BNB), Bitcoin (BTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As mentioned above, certain Asian nations have become somewhat of bastions for the project. Not long ago, Wu Blockchain <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/very-curious-pi-network-pi-fact-details\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>estimated<\/span><\/a><span> that Pi Network\u2019s users in South Korea exceeded 1.3 million, outpacing the local customer base of major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Recently, there has been a surge of gatherings in different countries, such as <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-network-community-grows-in-these-countries-but-when-mainnet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>India<\/span><\/a><span>, Nigeria, and China.
