Pi Network Shuts Down Central Node, Eyes Major Ecosystem Shift at Consensus 2025
Pi Network has officially shut down its central node, signaling a significant step towards full decentralization. Alongside this, the team has announced plans to release its source code, reinforcing its commitment to transparency and community trust.
This bold move comes just as Consensus 2025 kicks off in Toronto, with the Pi Network hinting at multiple major announcements across May 14–16. The project is generating serious buzz, especially with core developer Dr. Nicolas scheduled to speak at the event.
Key Highlights:
Central Node Deactivated: A milestone toward decentralization, confirmed with a network diagram.
Source Code Release Imminent: Aimed at silencing FUD and validating Pi’s IPoS (Improved Proof of Stake) model.
Strategic Timing with Consensus 2025: May 14 features an ecosystem announcement, followed by more big reveals on May 15 and 16.
App Updates Released: New versions of the Pi Network mining app and Pi Browser just dropped on the Play Store.
PI Coin on the Rise: The token is up nearly 5%, now trading at $1.18.
While the Pi community celebrates these developments, concerns remain about the project’s centralized coin holdings and governance transparency. Despite the promise of openness, access restrictions and VPN dependency in some regions still hinder true decentralization.
With over 100 million users and growing momentum, Pi Network now stands at a crossroads—poised to either fulfill its promise of becoming a true Layer-1 blockchain or remain a speculative mobile mining experiment.
