Pi Network has updated its MiCA-focused whitepaper, confirming full compliance with the European Union’s landmark Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. The move positions Pi for potential admission to trading across the EU and EEA, marking one of the project’s most significant regulatory milestones to date.
A MiCA-Ready Layer-1 Blockchain
According to the updated document, Pi Network is seeking formal access to regulated European markets under MiCA’s digital asset framework. Pi runs on its own Layer-1 blockchain, powered by a consensus mechanism based on the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) and Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA), both known for low energy usage and high fault tolerance.
The project reiterates that it has no initial coin offering (ICO). Instead, all Pi distribution occurs through mobile mining and community contributions. The network’s maximum supply is capped at 100 billion Pi, with 8.2 billion currently in circulation.

Wallet Control, Security, and KYC
Pi Network emphasizes user sovereignty through its non-custodial wallet integrated into the Pi Browser app. Users maintain full control over their private keys, and the whitepaper stresses that lost keys cannot be recovered, resulting in permanent loss of tokens.
Security architecture includes strong KYC and KYB requirements for individuals and businesses. The project continues to focus on fraud prevention, environmental sustainability, and routine third-party audits.
Token Utility and Governance
The whitepaper clarifies that Pi tokens do not grant ownership, dividends, or governance rights. Their sole purpose is utility for digital payments within the ecosystem.
Pi already enables peer-to-peer payments, letting users buy and sell goods and services directly using the cryptocurrency. Token allocations include mining rewards, a foundation treasury, liquidity pools, and team incentives with structured vesting for long-term stability.
Moving Toward EU Exchange Listings
With MiCA compliance confirmed, Pi now aims to expand its trading footprint across regulated European exchanges. MiCA-authorized platforms, such as OKX’s EU entity, will be able to list Pi once market admissions are finalized.
The Pi Foundation, headquartered in the Cayman Islands, and SocialChain, operating in the United States, will continue overseeing the global rollout. Importantly, all Pi trading will occur only on secondary markets, as the project does not engage in public fundraising.
