- Pi network closes its central junction and preps open-source code, with reference to decentralization goals.
- Big announcements plagued the future of PI can define again – or deepen the debate of decentralization.
Just like the crypto -mixture descends at Toronto for Consensus 2025, Pi Network [PI] has decided to steal a little bit of the spotlight, to close his central junction and open his code in one daring move.
Add an announcement here in mystery and we have all the ingredients for a blast. But is this a real step in the direction of decentralization, or just a well -timed flex?
Anyway, the PI community has reason to stay informed – because the next chapter is perhaps the most significant.
A central junction no longer
The Pi Network core team has officially closed its central junction. The announcement was linked to a network diagram that visually confirmed the removal of the node.

The shift is in accordance with Pi’s mission to evolve into a decentralized blockchain, protected by its own improved proof of stake (IPOs) mechanism.
With the source code that will be released soon, the PI community awaits developments that yield a new era of transparency.
But while enthusiasts celebrate, critics are not convinced.
The referrement model of the network and in particular opaque governance still attract eyebrows.
In particular, the continuous control of the core team on the selection of Supernode – and the reported handle at 82.8 billion PI – have set constant concerns about the decentralization claims of the project.
All eyes on consensus
The timing cannot be better.
Just like the crypto world to consensus 2025 swarms, the PI network is hymn The community with a series of non-so-subtle teasers. First:: An important announcement planned for May 14.

Than? Promises of something “great/good” on the 15th, closed by a speech by Pi-MEDE founder Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis on the 16th.

This is a three-day show that lets the world talk and the bet has never been higher.
The debate of decentralization
Even with the central node gone and open-source code on the horizon, the PI network did not completely shake off the criticism.
The maintenance remains closed, coin transfers are still prohibited and fundamental access functions such as “lightning” often require VPNs in some regions.
For a project that decentralization champion, these road barriers are at odds with the message.
The upcoming announcements can cause a change, but until the network becomes really open and limitless, nothing is certain.
