#PI Pi code is not Open Source, the undertaking has not truly begun: we are still training.

Only on the day when the source code of the Pi Network is truly Open Source will this venture be considered officially started. Everything today is merely training for that moment.

In the past few years, Pi Network has gathered tens of millions of users worldwide, building an astonishingly large and vibrant distributed community. Without an ICO, violent airdrops, or exchange hype, Pi has carved out a unique path in the history of cryptocurrency with its highly inclusive and engaging model of 'mining for all'.

We should acknowledge - this in itself is a miracle.

However, the more miraculous it is, the less it can remain on the surface. Because if Pi Network is to become a truly decentralized network, a currency of the people, and a universal digital credit system, it must take the most crucial step: the code must be Open Source.

1. Without Open Source, there is no true decentralization.

"Decentralization" is not just a slogan; it must be reflected in technology, consensus, and governance at three levels.
And the cornerstone of all this is - Open Source code.
•You can build a large user base, but if the node program cannot be publicly audited, your "distributed" is just a disguise.
•You can build a global business circle and ecosystem, but if the execution logic of the smart contract cannot be verified, then trust cannot be established.
• You can claim that "the mainnet is live," but if the mainnet's code is not Open Source, then this system is still a "black box."

In other words: without open sourcing the code, it is impossible to establish a decentralized trust foundation.

Without trust, there is no consensus; without consensus, the circulation of Pi is just "internal circulation within the community"; without a public review mechanism, the so-called mainnet is merely the "shadow of a centralized server."

2. The non-open source stage is for training, but it is not the end.

We understand that the Pi team's concerns are valid:
•Once open source, the system may be copied.
•Once open source, the difficulty of hacker attacks drastically increases;
•Once open source, the core team's control will also be weakened.

These concerns are not without reason. But precisely because of this, we must calmly say one thing:

Not open source, is training; open source is real combat.

The current Pi is more like a "military ready to go online":
•A large number of users are training to use the basic logic of Pi;
• Various ecological applications are testing feasibility;
• The node community is honing its basic technical operation and maintenance capabilities.

All of this is necessary, valuable, and strategic preparation. However, if we remain in the preparation phase for too long without engaging in battle, morale will ultimately be exhausted, trust will eventually dissipate, and momentum will eventually wither.

3. Open Source code is a true respect for ecosystem builders.

Today, Pi has countless developers, entrepreneurs, and evangelists around the world who are building the ecosystem with their time, connections, and resources. But we must ask one question:

If the code is not open source, can the system they build truly be implemented? Can it truly interface with Pi's mainnet system? How are their rights protected? Can their risks be anticipated?

All these questions are waiting for the moment when Open Source will provide the answers.

A non-open source mainnet means that all innovations must be trialed and errored in a "black box"; an open system can attract the top developers, releasing the greatest creativity with the least trust cost.

4. The real history has not yet begun.

The Pi Network may become one of the most important digital economy experiments of the 21st century. But we must honestly say:

Today's Pi has not yet written a true chapter in history. Because the source code is not open, it does not yet qualify to be reviewed by future generations.

If Pi is to truly enter the timeline of civilization, it must allow every line of code, every transaction, and every protocol to be subject to human wisdom's oversight and scrutiny.

⸻

Conclusion: We wait, not in doubt, but in anticipation of a greater beginning.

We are not here to urge the critics of Open Source, but rather to be strategic advocates standing between idealism and realism.

We deeply understand that only when Pi Network truly embarks on the path of Open Source, openness, autonomy, and decentralization can it achieve the great leap from "technical experiment" to "civilization building."

Therefore, we say:

Not open source, preaching is training; once open source, preaching becomes real combat.
Not open source, it's a mass movement; once open source, it's a new chapter of civilization.

May Pi Network eventually walk down that bright path.
We have trained for many years, just waiting for that one call——Open Source code, the battle drums sound!
