What is Pi (in simple words)?
Pi is a mobile-first cryptocurrency project that aims to let everyday people participate in crypto without expensive hardware or huge electricity bills. Instead of traditional proof-of-work mining, Pi uses a lightweight “participation” model where users open the official Pi app and tap to start a 24-hour mining session. Over time, users build trusted security circles and can optionally run Pi Nodes from desktop machines to contribute to network validation. For official downloads and the latest announcements, always use the Pi website or the official app stores.
