PiScan's recent data shows that the core team of the Pi Network holds a significant portion of the total supply of Pi Coin, which has raised concerns about the project's decentralization. It is reported that the core team controls approximately 62.8 billion PI, distributed across six wallets, while an additional 20 billion PI is held in around 10,000 wallets unaffiliated with the team. In total, there are 82.8 billion PI, which accounts for the majority of the network's fixed maximum supply of 100 billion PI. While this concentration may be necessary in the early stages of network development, it has also raised significant concerns about the project's future decentralization. Limited PI distribution may impact the network's resilience and the community's trust in its decentralized nature. In addition to token distribution, the Pi Network's infrastructure also faces challenges regarding centralization. Reports indicate that the network operates a limited number of nodes and validation mechanisms. The Pi core team operates three validation nodes, validator1, validator2, and validator3, a structure similar to the Stellar Development Foundation's nodes SDF1, SDF2, and SDF3. To better understand, Layer 1 networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum take pride in having a larger number of nodes, which enhances their decentralization and security. Bitcoin operates over 21,000 nodes, while Ethereum has over 6,600 nodes. The limited number of nodes and validators in Pi means that network control is concentrated in the hands of a few entities, making the network more centralized than its established counterparts. Integrating artificial intelligence into KYC and privacy issues In the 2025 privacy policy update, Pi Network introduced artificial intelligence into its KYC process to enhance efficiency and security. The updated policy states: We use ChatGPT as a reliable artificial intelligence partner to automatically verify identities and strengthen security measures. By using our KYC service, users agree to the inclusion of ChatGPT and potentially other artificial intelligence providers in our KYC process. While artificial intelligence can simplify the identity verification process and reduce manual errors, it has also raised concerns about potential misuse of data privacy and personal information. The community continues to emphasize the technical difficulties encountered during the mainnet migration, with many expressing disappointment in the slow and complex transfer of their funds to the mainnet. Despite the extension of the KYC and migration deadlines, some users still report issues, leading to dissatisfaction within the community. Furthermore, the extended lockup period and restricted immediate access to tokens have prompted some users to consider selling their accounts. This dissatisfaction has contributed to the declining popularity of the Pi Network since its mainnet launch on February 20. To address these challenges, Pi Network has repeatedly extended the deadlines for KYC verification and mainnet migration, with the latest extension setting the deadline at 8:00 AM UTC on March 14, 2025. This extension aims to provide users with additional time to complete the verification and migration process, ensuring the comprehensiveness and fairness of the ecosystem. In the past 24 hours, Pi's native token has risen by 19.71%, currently trading at $1.62. This represents a 45.66% increase from its historical high of $2.98.

What you say is clearer than what's written in the white paper. Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue twisted by spreading rumors?
