Welcome to the Open Mainnet
What to Expect from Open Network at Launch
The launch of the Open Network brings an important new change—external connectivity—to the layer-1 Pi blockchain creating an environment where Pi can connect securely with external systems, expanding opportunities for Pioneers and businesses.
Connecting Pi With the Outside World
The transition to Open Network will enable external connectivity on the Mainnet blockchain, allowing Pi to interface with other compliant networks and systems. This means Pioneers will be able to engage in transactions beyond the Pi ecosystem, expanding Pi’s utility and reach.
Upon Open Network launch with the firewall removed, anyone can technically add nodes to the Mainnet blockchain, in terms of running the protocol and connecting to the network. The Core Team will gradually invite Pioneers to transition their nodes from Testnet to Mainnet via the desktop node UI, prioritizing those with strong historical contributions and reliability scores. Node rank data will be made public as soon as possible.
