什么是PI硬币和PI网络？

PI硬币是PI Network的本地加密货币，这是Stanford Phds Dr. 2019年3月14日启动的区块链项目。

Pi Coin, the native cryptocurrency of the Pi Network, has been a subject of curiosity and speculation. Launched in March 2019 by Stanford PhDs Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis and Dr. Chengdiao Fan, the project set out to enable users to mine cryptocurrency directly from their mobile phones.

PI硬币是PI网络的天然加密货币，一直是好奇心和投机的主题。该项目于2019年3月由斯坦福大学博士Nicolas Kokkalis博士和Chengdiao博士启动，该项目旨在使用户直接从其手机中开采加密货币。

The concept quickly went viral, with the app amassing over 40 million users by 2025. Users could mine Pi for free with no financial risk, engaging in daily login streaks and referring friends to boost their earnings. This strategy, similar to viral growth loops used by social apps, helped the app gain immense popularity.

这个概念很快就传播开来，到2025年，该应用程序吸收了超过4000万用户。用户可以免费挖掘PI，而没有财务风险，每天进行每日登录条纹，并推荐朋友来提高其收入。该策略类似于社交应用程序使用的病毒增长循环，帮助该应用程序获得了巨大的知名度。

However, despite the large user base and promising concept, Pi Network has also been met with skepticism.

但是，尽管用户群和有前途的概念很大，但PI网络也受到了怀疑。

The project faced criticism for its lack of transparency, especially regarding the status and legal standing of the Pi Coin. While millions of users have been diligently mining Pi for years, the tokens remain inaccessible for trading or exchange on recognized cryptocurrency platforms.

该项目因缺乏透明度而面临批评，尤其是关于PI硬币的地位和法律地位。尽管数百万的用户多年来一直在勤奋地开采PI，但在公认的加密货币平台上的交易或交换仍然无法访问。

Moreover, the project's claims of enabling users to effortlessly mine Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) from their phones, in an energy-efficient manner, further fueled skepticism.

此外，该项目的主张是使用户能够以节能的方式从手机中毫不费力地挖掘比特币（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）（ETH）。

As of April 2025, the Pi Network is still in a closed beta, with the project's founders stating that the Open Mainnet launch is imminent, potentially within the next few months.

截至2025年4月，PI网络仍处于封闭状态，该项目的创始人表示即将开放的Mainnet发布，可能在接下来的几个月内。

The project's goal is to transition from the testnet to the Mainnet, eventually listing Pi Coin on exchanges and enabling users to access and trade their mined tokens.

该项目的目标是从测试网过渡到主网，最终在交易所上列出了Pi硬币，并使用户能够访问和交易其矿物令牌。

However, despite the rumors and speculation, it's crucial to note that no official statement from the Pi Core Team has confirmed the token's listing on exchanges.

然而，尽管有传言和猜测，但至关重要的是要注意，PI Core Team的官方声明尚未证实令牌在交流上的上市。

The project has also faced criticism for the required KYC (Know Your Customer) process, which includes submitting government-issued IDs and facial recognition - a big step for a project without an open blockchain or publicly verifiable smart contracts.

该项目还面临着所需的KYC（了解您的客户）流程的批评，其中包括提交政府发行的ID和面部识别 - 对于没有开放区块链或可公开可验证的智能合约的项目的重要一步。

For skeptics, this raised red flags, especially since KYC is usually standard in many crypto projects, and the lack of transparency and centralization leaves too many questions unanswered.

对于怀疑论者而言，这种提出的危险信号，尤其是因为KYC通常在许多加密项目中是标准的，而且缺乏透明度和集中化会留下太多问题。

The IOU tokens on exchanges like HTX (formerly Huobi) and BitMart are speculative placeholders issued by centralized exchanges. These IOU versions are not connected to the actual Pi coins held in the Pi Network app.

诸如HTX（以前是Huobi）和Bitmart之类的交易所的IOU令牌是集中交易所发行的投机占位持有人。这些IOU版本未连接到PI网络应用中持有的实际PI硬币。

Therefore, users cannot withdraw Pi from their Pi Wallet to those exchanges, and vice versa. The Pi Core Team has also publicly warned that these exchange listings are unauthorized and not part of the official Pi ecosystem.

因此，用户不能将PI从PI钱包中提取到这些交换，反之亦然。 PI Core团队还公开警告说，这些交换列表未经授权，而不是官方PI生态系统的一部分。

The persistent rumors regarding the token's listing and the lack of transparency from the project founders have led many to question whether Pi Coin is a scam.

关于令牌上市以及该项目创始人缺乏透明度的持续谣言使许多人质疑Pi Coin是否是骗局。

While the project may not be a scam in the classic sense, considering that users didn't pay money to join, many have spent years mining, submitting personal data, and promoting a project with no clear utility, token freedom, or transparent roadmap.

尽管该项目在经典意义上可能不是一个骗局，因为考虑到用户没有付钱加入，许多人已经花了数年的时间开采，提交了个人数据，并且没有明确的实用性，代币自由或透明的路线图，促进了一个项目。

The promise of "free tokens" has created a global community, but as of April 2025, that community is still waiting - not trading.

“免费代币”的承诺创造了一个全球社区，但是截至2025年4月，该社区仍在等待 - 不交易。
