Pi 网络：它是什么以及它如何工作？

Pi Network 旨在为用户提供一种名为 PI 的新加密货币，其创建者承诺提供比特币 (BTC) 的所有优势，同时避免其陷阱。

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 成立于 2018 年，旨在推出一种名为 PI 的新型加密货币，承诺提供比特币 (BTC) 的所有优势，同时避免其缺陷。然而，截至 2024 年 11 月，即首次推出五年多后，Pi Network 仍未发布。它不能在任何交易所出售，也不存在于实时区块链上。要挖掘 Pi，用户只需从手机登录 Pi 应用程序并每 24 小时点击一次按钮即可。

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

在本文中，我们将深入研究 PI 加密货币和 Pi 网络的内部运作方式。

Pi Network explained

Pi 网络解释

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 由斯坦福大学学者 Nicolas Kokkalis 和 Chengdiao Fan 于 2018 年创立。2019 年 3 月 14 日，他们发布了白皮书并推出了 Pi Network 应用程序。

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.

该应用程序用于挖掘 PI，用户每 24 小时按下一次按钮。要加入该应用程序，用户需要从会员处获取邀请码。该平台采用推荐系统，用户根据注册的新用户数量赚取额外的 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 网络与许多其他加密货币的不同之处在于，它采用源自恒星共识协议（SCP）的专有机制，使用户能够因参与网络而获得收益。

Who uses Pi Network?

谁使用 Pi 网络？

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

Pi 网络上有四种类型的用户。这些都是：

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.

矿工：任何拥有手机和互联网连接的人都可以加入 Pi 网络并开始挖掘 Pi。 Pi 挖矿没有任何硬件或电力成本。作为一个去中心化网络，Pi Network 没有中央矿池。相反，每个用户的设备都会对网络的整体挖矿能力做出贡献。

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 社区的成员，他们积极推广 Pi 网络及其加密货币。他们在社交媒体上分享有关该项目的信息，邀请新用户加入网络并以各种方式为社区做出贡献。大使因推广该项目的努力而获得额外的 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.

节点：节点是维护 Pi 网络区块链副本并参与网络共识机制的计算机。运行节点需要技术专业知识，并涉及维护稳定的互联网连接和硬件规格。作为操作节点的回报，用户将获得 Pi 奖励。

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.

先锋：先锋是 Pi Network 社区中已完成身份验证并积极参与网络活动的成员。他们因其贡献而获得好处，例如增加采矿奖励和优先使用新功能和应用程序。

Mining rate and growth

采矿率和增长率

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 网络最初推出时，挖矿速率设定为每小时 1.6 Pi。随着时间的推移，随着网络用户群的扩大，挖矿奖励系统性地减半：

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

发射时：1.6 Pi 每小时（1 Pi = 3.14159265 秒）

After 100,000 users: 0.8 Pi per hour

100,000 个用户后：每小时 0.8 Pi

After 200,000 users: 0.4 Pi per hour

200,000 个用户后：每小时 0.4 Pi

After 400,000 users: 0.2 Pi per hour

400,000 个用户后：每小时 0.2 Pi

After 800,000 users: 0.1 Pi per hour

800,000 个用户之后：每小时 0.1 Pi

After 1.6 million users: 0.05 Pi per hour

160 万用户后：每小时 0.05 Pi

After 3.2 million users: 0.025 Pi per hour

320 万用户后：每小时 0.025 Pi

After 6.4 million users: 0.0125 Pi per hour

640 万用户后：每小时 0.0125 Pi

After 12.8 million users: 0.00625 Pi per hour

1280 万用户后：每小时 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.

随着网络的发展，挖矿奖励预计将继续下降，从而激励早期参与。该团队设定了实现 10 亿用户的目标，届时挖掘阶段可能会结束。

What is the value of Pi?

圆周率的值是多少？

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 的值目前尚未确定。这是一种未上市代币，截至 2024 年 11 月几乎一文不值。因此，由于该代币尚未在任何加密货币交易所推出，因此没有有关 Pi 网络性能的历史数据。

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 的创建者尚未透露项目正式启动后流通的代币数量，但原始白皮书称 Pi 的总供应量将为 1000 亿枚。

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 旨在让 Pi Network 用户能够快速、经济且安全地与币安智能链 (BSC)、以太坊 (ETH)、Polygon (MATIC) 等其他区块链网络进行互操作交易。

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

除了与区块链桥接之外，PiConnect 还旨在提供农业和质押、启动平台、借贷、拍卖和市场等。
