【Amount of Coins Held by the Foundation】 The core contradiction that public chain projects must face as they mature is that the large amount of tokens held by the founding foundation, once used as "fuel," may instead become a "burden" hindering their integration into the mainstream financial system. The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), in order to迎接 traditional financial institutions like DTCC, proactively divests assets, eliminating regulatory concerns about "centralized control," and exchanges this for a "ticket" to enter the mainstream financial system. #PiNetwork Distribution path: Destroy the tokens or directly "wholesale" them to DTCC, banks, payment giants, etc., becoming the "reserved frozen assets" needed for their operations. In order to complete the "slimming down" before 2027, a large-scale destruction of 55 billion tokens is undertaken, with a clear final distribution timetable set (2029). Meanwhile, Pi Network Foundation's Pi is mainly used for ecological incentives: funding developers with 10 billion "foundation reserves" to build the application ecosystem. Adopting a conservative, progress-driven approach: implementing a "synchronous release" mechanism, where the unlocking speed of team tokens is strictly tied to the community mining migration progress, to avoid panic selling in the market. It can be seen that both choices involve "diverting" tokens from the foundation, but Stellar is like a parent eager to make the child "independent," while Pi is more like a cautious guardian "coaching" the child for fear of losing control. Pi's different paradigm will not directly connect with DTCC like Stellar does. The 10 billion Pi ecosystem construction fund in hand becomes a strategic weapon. This portion of Pi must be efficiently used to incentivize the incubation of business models and user scenarios. The ultimate answer: Pi Foundation's Pi will not be "institutionalized," but "commoditized." The final destination of tokens held by PCT will not become institutional reserve assets but will be scattered among millions of real users and merchants worldwide, becoming a kind of "community commodity." At that time, PCT's role will no longer be a "distributor" of tokens, but merely a "technological maintainer." How long this process takes depends on the true prosperity of the ecosystem, not on a roadmap. As the migration of Pi Pioneer tokens continues, the synchronized release also involves the token quantities of PTC and the Foundation. Facing the dual release pressure, to stabilize the market, the main contradiction that needs to be addressed now is whether the release of Pi tokens matches the ecosystem's prosperity. Therefore, ecosystem explosion is the only solution and the key to the sustainable future development of Pi Network.

[Quantum Preparedness Plan] The Stellar Development Foundation officially announced this "Quantum Preparedness Plan" in June 2026. · Goal: Achieve quantum resistance through native protocol upgrades by the end of 2027. · Advantage: No address changes, no asset transfers. Since account identity (G address) is separate from signing keys, only a new quantum-safe signer needs to be added for upgrades. #PiNetwork 🗺️ Roadmap Details · Phase One (2026): Enable post-quantum signatures (NIST standard ML-DSA-44/65) on the Soroban smart contract layer, allowing enterprise wallets to migrate first. · Phase Two (2027): Through the "Core Advancement Proposal," enable all regular accounts to add native quantum-resistant signers while maintaining their original addresses. · Phase Three (TBD): Gradually phase out the old Ed25519 signature mechanism. Pi Network adopts the Stellar Consensus Protocol. It is foreseeable and certain that the Pi Network team also has sufficient technical support and plans to complete their own quantum upgrade. Currently, adopting and referencing the Stellar Consensus Protocol is the most wise choice and the most perfect design for Pi Network. $PI

$PI $XLM The Stellar Quantum-Resistant Algorithm has been launched, and it feels like Pi is following right behind XLM! Hahaha……
