Pi Network Community Director Hints Rodmap v2 Will Provide ‘More Context’ About the Open Mainnet

Key highlights:

• Pi Network’s community director hinted that roadmap v2 in December will provide “more context” about getting to an open mainnet
• From translations to the mining app interface, it seems like they’re shoring up the foundations. Plus, over 200,000 new users joined just last month.
• Laying out the progressive steps clearly could help momentum, especially since the price has already risen 16% in the last month alone.

The Pi Network team just unveiled the first part of its highly anticipated 2023 roadmap. While version 1 gives helpful context around past progress, many in the community are looking for a clearer sense of what’s on the horizon.

Version 1 of the Pi Network roadmap covers key developments from the past year, including upgrades to the mining app interface, ongoing work to translate the project into 50 languages, and tweaks to the KYC process – all  definitely useful foundations as the network scales.

However, the elephant in the room remains the long-awaited “Open Mainnet” transition. As previously reported, roadmap v2 in December won’t nail down an exact launch timeline – instead, it will focus on upcoming milestones.

The community director hints at “more context” in Roadmap v2

In a recent tweet, Pi Network’s community director Swaroop Poudel teased that v2 may provide “more background to get to the open mainnet.” An intriguing clue that’s piqued the interest of followers.

V1 summarizes past and current milestones across many (but not all) Pi products and projects, showing the network’s achievements and ongoing efforts. V2 Roadmap will include future plans.

While an undefined timeline is understandably frustrating for some, taking the time to fully prepare such a monumental network upgrade makes sense. As Poudel hinted, a thorough behind-the-scenes look could help the community better understand the remaining hurdles. A rushed ascent risks dangerous missteps, while proper preparation paves the way for safer success further down the line.

In any case, it seems “v2” may offer a more compelling narrative around Open Mainnet preparations than a simple date target. Stay tuned for more context this December on Pi’s road to the peaks ahead.

Overall steady progress continues

In the interim, development marches on across core areas like the mining app, browser, and KYC processes as outlined in v1. And recent data showed over 200,000 new users joining the mainnet last month alone.

Steady foundations and growing user numbers bode well for what’s to come. Version 2 of the roadmap may lack a date but could make the journey there easier to visualize.

Of course, it’s impossible to predict precisely how the market may react. But if version 2 of the roadmap does shed valuable light on the expected progression to an open mainnet, it could add confidence fueling momentum for PI over the medium term- especially considering its price has risen over 16% in just the past month according to CoinCodex data.
