$PI That question — when? — has been the biggest Pi question since 2019.
The honest answer:
No one can give an exact date.
But we can read patterns and technical signals.
Open Mainnet will not happen when hype is highest —
it will happen when 3 technical conditions are completed:
---
1) KYC backlog is near zero
Automation finalized → no more pending profiles.
2) Full open-source release
Node, Wallet, Protocol → public & transparent.
3) DEX + on-chain ecosystem already functioning
Not papers, not slogans — real apps & real payment flow.
---
Right now Pi is in the phase of:
pre-launch ecosystem alignment
(this is the most critical phase before OM)
That’s why we can see:
Exchanges starting to show DEX menus
Other chains preparing L2 + cross-chain infrastructure
Crypto narrative shifting to utility & non-CEX liquidity
These are indicators that the world is moving toward the OM environment.

So when is OM?
The most accurate answer:
OM happens when those 3 technical conditions are complete.
Not when KOLs hype it, not when livestream hosts scream.
Open Mainnet is a technical condition.
Not a marketing date.
