Pi Network has launched a significant $100 million venture fund, signaling a major commitment to expanding its real-world utility and bolstering its reputation. This initiative coincides with the Consensus 2025 conference and comes ahead of market adjustments following announcements of a new decentralization plan led by Dr. Nicolas. Pi Network’s aim is to attract startups and developers to join its ecosystem, providing financial resources for innovative projects that could address ongoing skepticism about its practical applications and potential for growth. The fund’s launch follows criticism regarding centralization in the Pi Network network. While the market has reacted with a 8% gain of PI coin over 24 hours after the announcement, it’s yet to see clear-cut impact on market recovery. This initiative marks a significant step toward decentralization and transparency as the team works to address lingering concerns around the network’s centralized design. The success of this venture fund will ultimately rely on community engagement and developer adoption for real-world application.
