🚨 Why is PI NETWORK’s direction so “revolutionary” and different from everyone else?👍

Many experts keep shouting and criticizing Nicolas as if he knows nothing about technology. But in fact, he’s taking on an extremely non-traditional challenge: bringing cutting-edge cryptography technology directly into the hands of everyday smartphone users!📱

👇 Let’s break down why the crypto world is abuzz, and why many people still haven’t seen the full picture:

1️⃣ On what kind of arena do Ethereum and Stellar (Stellar) play?👇

➡️ Ethereum: It has been using the BN254 cryptographic curve for nearly nine years. The issue is that it’s mainly optimized for powerful servers or validation nodes. High-performance workstations can handle it easily, but asking a single low-end Android phone to generate proofs on its own will quickly lead to overheating and rapid battery drain.

➡️ Stellar:
It has also recently added compatibility features to align with Ethereum’s ZK ecosystem. This is certainly convenient, but they’re still standing on the shoulders of giants rather than carving their own path.

2️⃣ The extreme difficulty challenge PI NETWORK chose to take on 💥

➡️ Pi didn’t choose the safe, traditional route. Their goal is far more ambitious: they want tens of millions of users to generate ZK proofs directly on their own smartphones, including low-cost Android devices with typical hardware configurations.

🛵 A real-world analogy:
It’s like requiring a small, low-power motorcycle to carry heavy loads up a ramp. It would consume a lot of energy, struggle under the weight, and warm up quickly. To solve this, the Pi team had to push algorithm optimization to the extreme so that even budget smartphones can handle the work.

3️⃣ What does all this mean?💡
➡️ They’ve already built the core technical foundation by integrating advanced cryptographic technologies at scale into mobile platforms. What’s still being refined is making proof generation run smoothly on every low-end smartphone.

➡ This is an extremely challenging and demanding direction, and very few crypto projects are willing to pursue it on mobile devices.

⚠ Before you rush to judge, don’t underestimate the huge technical weight behind the code Nicolas and his team are writing!💡
