Pi 網路：它是什麼以及它如何運作？

Pi Network 旨在為用戶提供名為 PI 的新加密貨幣，其創建者承諾提供比特幣 (BTC) 的所有優勢，同時避免其陷阱。

Pi Network, founded in 2018, aims to introduce a new cryptocurrency called PI with the promise of offering all the advantages of bitcoin (BTC) while avoiding its pitfalls. However, as of November 2024, more than five years after its initial launch, Pi Network is still unreleased. It cannot be sold on any exchange and does not yet exist on a live blockchain. To mine Pi, users simply sign into the Pi app from their phones and tap a button once every 24 hours.

Pi Network 成立於 2018 年，旨在推出一種名為 PI 的新型加密貨幣，承諾提供比特幣 (BTC) 的所有優勢，同時避免其缺陷。然而，截至 2024 年 11 月，即首次推出五年多後，Pi Network 仍未發布。它不能在任何交易所出售，也不存在於即時區塊鏈上。要挖掘 Pi，用戶只需從手機登入 Pi 應用程式並每 24 小時點擊一次按鈕即可。

In this article, we will delve deeper into the PI cryptocurrency and the inner workings of the Pi Network.

在本文中，我們將深入研究 PI 加密貨幣和 Pi 網路的內部運作方式。

Pi Network explained

Pi 網路解釋

Pi Network was founded by Stanford University academics Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan in 2018. On 14 March 2019, they published a whitepaper and unveiled the Pi Network app.

Pi Network 由史丹佛大學學者 Nicolas Kokkalis 和 Chengdiao Fan 於 2018 年創立。

The app is used to mine PI, with users pressing a button every 24 hours. To join the app, users obtain an invitation code from a member. The platform employs a referral system, whereby users earn additional Pi based on the number of new users they sign up.

該應用程式用於挖掘 PI，用戶每 24 小時按下一次按鈕。要加入應用程序，用戶需要從會員處獲取邀請碼。該平台採用推薦系統，用戶根據註冊的新用戶數量賺取額外的 Pi。

Pi Network differs from many other cryptocurrencies in that it employs a proprietary mechanism, derived from the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), which enables users to receive benefits for their participation in the network.

Pi 網路與許多其他加密貨幣的不同之處在於，它採用源自恆星共識協議（SCP）的專有機制，使用戶能夠因參與網路而獲得收益。

Who uses Pi Network?

誰使用 Pi 網路？

There are four types of users on the Pi Network. These are:

Pi 網路上有四種類型的使用者。這些都是：

Miners: Anyone with a mobile phone and internet connection can join the Pi Network and begin mining Pi. There are no hardware or electricity costs associated with Pi mining. As a decentralised network, Pi Network does not have a central mining pool. Instead, each user's device contributes to the network's overall mining capacity.

礦工：任何擁有手機和網路連線的人都可以加入 Pi 網路並開始挖掘 Pi。 Pi 挖礦沒有任何硬體或電力成本。作為一個去中心化網絡，Pi Network 沒有中央礦池。相反，每個用戶的設備都會對網路的整體挖礦能力做出貢獻。

Ambassadors: Ambassadors are members of the Pi community who actively promote Pi Network and its cryptocurrency. They share information about the project on social media, invite new users to join the network and contribute to the community in various ways. Ambassadors earn additional Pi for their efforts in promoting the project.

大使：大使是 Pi 社群的成員，他們積極推廣 Pi 網路及其加密貨幣。他們在社交媒體上分享有關該項目的信息，邀請新用戶加入網絡並以各種方式為社區做出貢獻。大使因推廣該計畫的努力而獲得額外的 Pi。

Nodes: Nodes are computers that maintain a copy of the Pi Network blockchain and participate in the network's consensus mechanism. Running a node requires technical expertise and involves maintaining a stable internet connection and hardware specifications. In return for operating a node, users are rewarded with Pi.

節點：節點是維護 Pi 網路區塊鏈副本並參與網路共識機制的電腦。運行節點需要技術專業知識，並涉及維護穩定的網路連接和硬體規格。作為操作節點的回報，用戶將獲得 Pi 獎勵。

Pioneers: Pioneers are members of the Pi Network community who have completed their identity verification and are actively engaged in the network's activities. They receive benefits for their contributions, such as increased mining rewards and priority access to new features and applications.

先鋒：先鋒是 Pi Network 社群中已完成身分驗證並積極參與網路活動的成員。他們因其貢獻而獲得好處，例如增加採礦獎勵和優先使用新功能和應用程式。

Mining rate and growth

採礦率和成長率

When the Pi Network initially launched, the mining rate was set at 1.6 Pi per hour. Over time, as the network's user base expanded, the mining rewards were systematically halved:

Pi 網路最初推出時，挖礦速率設定為每小時 1.6 Pi。隨著時間的推移，隨著網路用戶群的擴大，挖礦獎勵系統性地減半：

At launch: 1.6 Pi per hour (1 Pi = 3.14159265 seconds)

發射時：1.6 Pi 每小時（1 Pi = 3.14159265 秒）

After 100,000 users: 0.8 Pi per hour

100,000 個用戶後：每小時 0.8 Pi

After 200,000 users: 0.4 Pi per hour

20 萬用戶後：每小時 0.4 Pi

After 400,000 users: 0.2 Pi per hour

40 萬用戶後：每小時 0.2 Pi

After 800,000 users: 0.1 Pi per hour

800,000 個使用者之後：每小時 0.1 Pi

After 1.6 million users: 0.05 Pi per hour

160 萬用戶後：每小時 0.05 Pi

After 3.2 million users: 0.025 Pi per hour

320 萬用戶後：每小時 0.025 Pi

After 6.4 million users: 0.0125 Pi per hour

640 萬用戶後：每小時 0.0125 Pi

After 12.8 million users: 0.00625 Pi per hour

1280 萬用戶後：每小時 0.00625 Pi

The mining rewards are expected to continue declining as the network grows, incentivising early participation. The team has set a goal of achieving one billion users, at which point the mining phase may conclude.

隨著網路的發展，挖礦獎勵預計將繼續下降，從而激勵早期參與。該團隊設定了實現 10 億用戶的目標，屆時挖掘階段可能會結束。

What is the value of Pi?

圓周率的值是多少？

The value of Pi is currently undetermined. It’s an unlisted token that is practically worthless as of November 2024. As a result, there’s no historical data on the Pi Network’s performance since the token has not yet been launched on any cryptocurrency exchange.

Pi 的數值目前尚未確定。這是一種未上市代幣，截至 2024 年 11 月幾乎一文不值。

Pi Network’s creators have yet to reveal the number of coins in circulation once the project is formally launched, however, the original whitepaper says that the total Pi supply will be 100 billion.

Pi Network 的創建者尚未透露該項目正式啟動後流通的代幣數量，但原始白皮書稱 Pi 的總供應量將為 1000 億枚。

Pi Network’s milestones in its first four years

Pi Network 前四年的里程碑

In September 2022, the Pi Network announced the launch of PiConnect. PiConnect aims to allow Pi Network users to make interoperable trades with other blockchain networks like Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC) and others quickly, affordably and securely.

2022 年 9 月，Pi Network 宣布推出 PiConnect。 PiConnect 旨在讓 Pi Network 用戶能夠快速、經濟且安全地與幣安智能鏈 (BSC)、以太坊 (ETH)、Polygon (MATIC) 等其他區塊鏈網路進行互通交易。

In addition to bridging with Blockchain, PiConnect aims to provide farming and staking, a launchpad platform, lending, auctions and a marketplace, among other things.

除了與區塊鏈橋接之外，PiConnect 還旨在提供農業和質押、啟動平台、借貸、拍賣和市場等。
