Can you believe it? Can you wait? Important topics repeated three times: Starting from $15 USD in 2027, starting from $15 USD, starting from $15 USD, who stays close, who receives the wealth $$$$$$$$🔥 Don’t argue, see the reasons and data below:

Mapping (Mainnet migration) = After users complete KYC verification, transfer the Pi mined in the testnet and within the app to the official mainnet wallet in batches. During transfer, lock-up rules are enforced (self-selected lock-up ratios of 1-5 years).
It is not opened randomly; the official opens the mapping channel in a stepwise manner. When the token price fluctuates abnormally, the speed of mapping opening will be adjusted. The core purpose is to regulate the total circulating chips in the market.
Do you understand why the official loosens the mapping channel when the token price rises? There are two objective logical layers:
When the token price surges, market speculation emotions soar, and many users who haven't completed KYC or haven't mapped will follow suit and speculate.
Accelerating the mapping release means gradually releasing the existing mined output onto the chain while enforcing lock-up:
Also, real users must be screened: only genuine KYC users can map, batch filtering out bots, small accounts, and wool accounts to prevent whales from dumping large amounts at once and impacting the market;
Balance supply and demand: when prices surge, market bullish sentiment becomes overheated. Releasing a moderate amount of circulating chips can hedge against a one-sided bubble, preventing short-term rapid rises and falls, and detachment from the ecosystem’s actual value.

Deep market regulation “Control the market and stabilize prices”

1. Suppress short-term violent price surges to avoid bubble collapse
If prices are allowed to rise infinitely, many early miners with zero cost will cash out en masse, directly crashing the market, causing liquidity to collapse.
When the price rises, open the mapping gradually, releasing locked-up chips in batches, which is equivalent to gently increasing market supply, suppressing reckless short-term speculation, and narrowing price fluctuations within a controllable range, preventing cliff-like drops after rapid surges.
The mapping mechanism with enforced lock-up means that even if mapping is open, most new tokens cannot be traded for several years. The actual circulating supply that can be freely bought and sold on exchanges is very limited.
The core team holds the majority of the underlying tokens, combined with the nationwide lock-up rules, which tightly control the total market circulation, allowing precise regulation of selling pressure and absorption capacity, avoiding market manipulation by retail investors and short-term speculators, making the market controllable.
Prevent whales from dominating the market
If mapping remains closed for a long time, many early high-balance accounts will hoard unmapped tokens. Once opened all at once, it will create massive selling pressure; batch mapping plus lock-up disperses large chip releases, avoiding single large accounts from controlling price surges and crashes.

Some say “Mapping control is essentially laying the groundwork for the ecosystem’s long-term development by 2027” (corresponding to your idea of steady growth and later explosion). You will understand much more from the following:

1. 2026 current stage: Infrastructure improvement period (preparatory phase), current core development tasks: complete Stellar protocol alignment with 23 pairs, launch full smart contracts, build mainnet RPC interaction interfaces, implement developer DApp foundational framework. Currently, over 200 ecosystem applications and more than 20,000 developers have joined, but on-chain commercial use, payments, and AI computing ecosystems are not yet scaled.
During this stage, the price must not fluctuate wildly:
Excessive bubbles will attract pure speculative users, causing real ecosystem builders and merchants to lose interest;
Continuous price drops will shatter community confidence, and developers and node operators will leave, with insufficient funds and community manpower for underlying architecture development.
Relying on mapping to regulate circulation and stabilize the market is to give the underlying technology and ecosystem development a stable construction period.

2. 2027 plan: Ecosystem fully explodes (value release phase). Remember? The official roadmap clearly states 2027 as the key year for ecosystem landing:
① Launch decentralized AI distributed computing network, rent out computing power to earn Pi, building Web3 + AI infrastructure;
② Improve on-chain DeFi, cross-border small payments, and real merchant landing systems;
③ Mature community DAO governance, increase TPS to over 5000, solve on-chain congestion issues;
④ Implement compliance frameworks, connect with overseas compliant exchanges, and expand channels for institutional and real commercial users.

3. The complete operation cycle logic: see short-term: price rises → accelerate mapping + enforced lock-up → gentle chip release, suppress bubbles, stabilize the market, prevent rapid surges and crashes;
And mid-term: continuously regulate circulation, maintain stable price range, and give the underlying technology and DApp ecosystem a stable development period for 2026;
Long-term: wait for the full underlying architecture and commercial ecosystem to land in 2027, Pi to have real commercial value, then gradually relax lock-up and circulation restrictions, supported by real demand to sustain value, and achieve a long-term explosion after steady accumulation, starting from $15 USD and steadily rising.
