Pi Network, a mobile mining cryptocurrency, has garnered significant attention since its inception. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive economic analysis of the Pi Network as of 2024, examining its technical fundamentals, market dynamics, and future prospects.
Technical analysis
Consensus mechanism
Pi uses a unique consensus mechanism
FBA+SCP, which combines elements of Proof of Work and Proof of Stake. This mechanism aims to balance security, decentralization, and energy efficiency. However, a detailed technical analysis of the mechanism is lacking in the public literature.
Smart contracts
Currently, Pi does not support smart contracts, but it has implemented the Soroban Framework. This limitation limits its potential for decentralized applications (
dApps) and DeFi However, we already find contracts in the blockchain, but we do not know their content and purpose. We believe that most of the existing contracts relate to Wallet, Mining Pool and Rewards.
Economic model

Invited users "Pioneers" They earn Pi by completing tasks and inviting friends. The distribution of Pi is not entirely transparent, and the long-term economic model is still evolving.
- Utility and value proposition

However, it recently announced a partnership program and influencer engagement.

- Market sentiment
Public sentiment towards Pi is mixed, with some seeing it as a promising project and others as a potential scam. The lack of a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies contributes to uncertainty around the future of Pi. However, many trading platforms, applications and communities are emerging, but they still operate privately. To our dismay, many more scammers and fraudulent activities have gathered around Pi. The Pi Core team is ignoring radical demands for penalties for rule violations.
- Partnership and cooperation
The Pi Network has formed partnerships with several organizations, but these partnerships have not significantly affected the growth or valuation of the network. The Pi team is only a supporter in the partnership so far. Truly working and interesting projects are only supported secretly. This reluctant approach is the result of passive marketing and is aimed at minimizing damage to the reputation of the team's already conspiratorial approach.
