Pi Network Marks One Year with Major Milestones and Upgrades

The Pi Network has marked a significant milestone, celebrating the first anniversary of its mainnet launch on February 19. This anniversary is receiving more enthusiasm among traders who are awaiting big announcements by the developers to mark the occasion.

This has contributed greatly to the recent increase in the price of the Pi Coin, and the market members are responding to current upgrades and additions on the network.

Besides the anniversary results, Pi Network has also had some major changes, among them a decrease in the number of tokens unlocked monthly. The move is thought to have helped push the price upwards since it will restrict the supply of the token and may drive the value of the token up.

Moreover, it is widely speculated that Pi Coin will be listed on Kraken, a decision that has created plenty of buzz in the community and contributed to the current coalitions of the coin.

The on-chain data and the activity of the community surrounding the Pi Network are pointers to confidence in the future of the network, as the network approaches the first anniversary. More than 16 million Pioneers have already migrated to the mainnet that has helped to strengthen the base of Pi Network and demonstrates the growing popularity of the platform.
