Pi Network IOU Price Explodes 60%
The Pi network IOU token has been hovering at the $30 mark for months, but in the last few days, the price of the token, which is still in closed mainet, has surged, at one point to around $90.
This comes on the back of a promised core team pledge to get the project to open mainnet before the end of 2024.
At the current time of publication, the Pi Network token is sitting at a price of
What Is Pi Network?
Pi Network is an innovative cryptocurrency project that aims to make digital currency accessible to everyday users.
Launched in 2019 by a group of Stanford graduates—Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis, Chengdiao Fan, and Vince McPhilip—the Pi Network introduces a unique approach to mining cryptocurrency, which distinguishes it from traditional methods like Bitcoin or Ethereum.
What Are Pi Networks Key Features?
One of the key features of Pi Network is its user-friendly mobile mining.
Unlike traditional mining, which requires high computational power and consumes significant energy, Pi Network allows users to mine Pi coins directly from their smartphones without draining battery life.
This is made possible by its consensus algorithm, Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), which eliminates the need for energy-intensive Proof-of-Work (PoW) used by other cryptocurrencies.
The Pi Network operates in phases, with the first phase, Phase 1, focused on building the user base and validating its technology.
During this phase, users were able to mine Pi coins but couldn’t yet trade or withdraw them.
As of 2023, Pi Network was in Phase 2, which includes building the Pi blockchain and transitioning towards decentralization.
The final phase, Phase 3, known as Mainnet, will allow Pi coins to be fully tradable on exchanges, with users being able to convert their coins into other currencies.
Pi Network has grown rapidly, with over 45 million engaged users worldwide, reflecting strong community interest.
Open Mainnet Targets For This Year
With the core team's descision to launch the open mainnet in 2024, several deadlines have emerged with all miners required to complete ID verification and KYC before November 30th 2024.
New facial recognition and other upgraded KYC techniques have recently been introduced to try and free up several backlogs within the KYC system.
Other projects have also launched with many community driven projects such as the Fireside forum, Pi Networks version of Facebook.
Massive Push To Mainnet Launch
Several requirements have been introduced to facilitatea smooth transition to open mainnet including the introduction of several deadlines for passing KYC and transitioning Pi balances to mainnet from testnet.
The first requirement is that at least 15 million Pioneers are KYC veified and have submitted identity documents to verify that they are not cheating the system with multiple accounts.
The second requirement requires at least 10 million miners to have migrated their Pi balances to the open mainnet model, from the testnet that was setup to check transfers work correctly.
The third and final requirement states that no outside influences may interfere or jepodize the upcoming launch, and this includes world events such as wars or world market woes.
Currently over 14 million people are KYC verified, almost meeting target number one and over 10 million people have now transferred their balances to the mainnet system, meeting the second goal entirely.
Pi Network Business Partnerships
Over the last month, several community-building projects have been launched by the Pi Network core team.
One of these projects introduces a business partnership model that allows businesses who wish to integrate Pi into their models to partner with the company and receive direct access to Pi's large user-base.
Businesses will have the option to partner with Pi before Open Network for early access to maximize the prospect for their business.
Businesses will gain access to a range of innovative tools that can enable seamless transactions using Pi coins and take advantage of community engagement through blockchain technology.
PiFest Launches For Businesses
Between October 29th and November 5th, Pi-powered businesses can use the map of Pi to visit and shop at businesses accepting Pi.
Users can also participate in challenges and the event aims to bring an exciting new iteration of the core teams community-driven event designed to boost the utility of Pi and support local merchants.
PiFest was created in part due to the incredibly strong interest Pioneers have shown in using Pi in local businesses.
This interest was demonstrated by the widespread participation in the first PiFest in December 2023.
However, one commonly cited challenge amongst Pioneers was the lack of discoverability of businesses that accept Pi.
PiFest is a chance to showcase and celebrate the local commerce potential of Pi to the Pioneer community and the rest of the world.
PiFest is more than just an event—it’s a movement showcasing the utility and communal strength of Pi in local commerce and in community collaboration among Pioneers, developers and the Core Team.
Pi Node Version 0.5.0 Released
With this update, Pi Nodes will transition to the Testnet2 blockchain, which tests switching between blockchains, allowing Node runners to transition smoothly to the Mainnet once it’s available.
Additionally, Testnet2 provides a more compatible and comparable environment that Nodes will experience on the Mainnet blockchain.
Nodes may continue using the original Testnet for now, but this blockchain will soon be closed for Nodes to use.
Testnet will continue functioning as normal for Pioneers and Pi app developers—no actions are needed at this time, ensuring that Pi apps can maintain stability and performance without requiring extra work from Pi apps developers.
This allows easier future resets of Testnet2 that only affect Nodes, and won’t affect Pioneers and Pi apps that continue using the original Testnet.

Silence, Patterns, and Power: How Tom Bower Changed the Royal Conversation
For months, the royal conversation rippled with speculation. Claims multiplied, narratives twisted, and every whisper seemed to point back to the same names. But one man whose voice normally thundered across royal reporting said nothing—Tom Bower. Known for investigative aggression and fearless conclusions, Bower’s silence didn’t just feel unusual. It felt intentional. Observers noticed. Commentators asked where he’d gone. Why wasn’t he weighing in? And then came the realization: Tom Bower doesn’t react to noise. He studies the echo. While tabloids flung accusations and social media threads tied Meghan Markle to every flare-up inside the monarchy, Bower remained quiet. That wasn’t restraint—it was strategy. Bower had no interest in arguing rumor versus fact. His method relies on something far more revealing than gossip: institutional behavior. Silence as Data Where others saw unanswered questions, Bower saw an unfolding pattern. Inside Buckingham Palace, silence isn’t absence. It is a coded response. A pause. A calculation. A decision about what is worth engaging—and what is safer to ignore. Bower wasn’t analyzing the scandal itself; he was analyzing how the palace reacted to the scandal. Which stories were swatted away within hours? Which claims lingered unchallenged for months? Which headlines forced quiet restructuring behind closed doors? To Bower, these reactions told the real story—one about stress fractures and shifting roles inside the monarchy. The Meghan Variable What emerged from his study wasn’t accusation, but recurrence. Meghan Markle wasn’t presented as the source of crises—but as the constant in the room each time turbulence hit. Not triggering explosions, but always standing close enough for the shockwaves to force recalibration. This interpretation damaged no reputations legally—but it reshaped perception. Institutions don’t need villains. They react to pressure, not personalities. And by simply existing at the center of modern royal controversy—interviews, lawsuits, streaming projects, fractured family ties—Meghan represented unpredictability. In royal systems built on predictability, unpredictability reshapes behavior. The Palace Logic Palace advisers work from a simple, centuries-old rulebook: Threats to the Crown’s function are addressed Threats to the Crown’s image are absorbed You don’t fight every rumor—especially when fighting validates the rumor. Sometimes silence is not weakness but defense. To the public, silence feels mysterious. To the institution, silence is strategy. Harry’s Blind Spot Prince Harry’s story complicates this further. For him, silence meant abandonment. Lack of response confirmed neglect rather than restraint. Harry believed discussion was the solution, that acknowledgment could heal wounds. But the monarchy is not designed for emotional transparency. It is designed to outlast individuals, moods, and moments. And so, what looked like indifference to Harry was—according to Bower—calculated caution. When Bower Finally Spoke By the time Tom Bower broke silence, the ground had already shifted. Public trust in royal messaging had cracked. Media fatigue had set in. Sympathy moved from one side to another, then back again. Bower offered no new allegations. He offered explanation. He spoke about patterns—how silence itself becomes a reaction, how institutions prioritize stability over fairness, and how recurring storms force systems to distance rather than confront. His words reframed everything. Suddenly, the debate wasn’t: “Is this rumor true?” The question became: “Why does the palace treat this rumor differently?” That reframing turned speculation into a study of power. The Impact of Insight From the palace’s viewpoint, Bower’s words required no response—and they gave none. Engagement would elevate. Silence would deflate. For Meghan and Harry, the shift was subtle but significant. It challenged the narrative that ignoring them meant irrelevance or denial. Instead, it suggested strategic containment. The media world, weary of royal upheaval, reacted differently. Producers didn’t panic—they paused. Not because Bower exposed wrongdoing, but because he illuminated the operating system behind the monarchy’s reactions. And once a system is visible, it is harder to ignore. The Conversation Evolves Tom Bower didn’t break silence to drop bombs. He broke silence to show how bombs are diffused—even when no explosion is heard. His intervention changed nothing on paper: No policies, no statements, no public apologies. Yet it changed everything in perception. He taught audiences to stop listening only to what is said—and start studying what is left unsaid. And in the end, that insight may be more disruptive than any accusation. Because once silence stops looking accidental and starts looking deliberate, distance becomes clarity— and the story begins to write itself.
