The token structure of Pi Network has a simple goal: to bring as many Pioneers and as much Pi to Mainnet as quickly as possible—and to ensure that no one has an unfair advantage throughout the process.
According to the way they set it up, every token allocation—from community rewards to the team’s reserves—only increases as fast as the community moves to Mainnet. This means that if Pioneers do not move their Pi, then no one else—the core team, the platform, or the liquidity team—will receive more than their share.
Here is the detailed information:
65% Pi (65 billion tokens) will be allocated for community mining rewards. 10% (10 billion) is allocated for the fund. 5% (5 billion) is reserved for liquidity needs. 20% (20 billion) will be allocated for the core team.
And all of these are tracking one thing: the speed of moving Pi rewards.
Therefore, if only a part of the community moves, then only the same part of the token across all allocations becomes active. This ensures that no one can move forward without the community leading.
Although technically, all 100 billion Pi tokens were minted at inception ( due to the way the blockchain) operates, the supply that can be used at any given time - referred to as Effective Total Supply - only increases when pioneers transition to Mainnet.
To calculate the supply in real-time, they simply need to divide the total rewards distributed by 65%. The remaining portion of the allocations—platform, liquidity, and pool—then gets capped based on the same ratio.
This setup prevents any unfair access. The core team cannot sell tokens early. Liquidity does not flood in too early. And the platform does not move faster than the actual users of the network.
The benefits of everyone are interconnected - if the pioneers migrate faster, the entire network will progress.
At the end of the day, Pi’s goal is very clear: to make quick, fair moves and put the community first. This token model is built to achieve that.
