Pi Network Moderators Reject GCV Myth as Map of Pi 2.0 Nears Launch

Pi Network moderators have publicly dismissed the long-circulated “Global Consensus Value” (GCV) myth. They are calling it harmful to the ecosystem and misleading for new community members. Their comments arrive as Map of Pi 2.0 prepares for launch. This brings built-in payments and escrow for more than 140,000 merchants already accepting Pi worldwide. The timing has reopened long-running debates inside the community about real utility. It is responsible communication and the project’s next growth phase.

Moderators Call GCV a Scam

Several Pi moderators stepped forward this week to label GCV claims as fake and damaging. They clarified that no official consensus value exists and that inflated price claims. Such as the infamous “314,159 USD per Pi.” That has never been supported by the Pi Core Team. They warned that GCV myths distort expectations during the Enclosed Mainnet phase. This directly harms small merchants who try to price goods based on unrealistic numbers. 

Community leaders added that the false narrative has made Pi Network the target of ridicule in wider crypto circles. Multiple well-known Pi community voices echoed the same message. They urged Pioneers to mute GCV promoters and rely only on official announcements. According to them, shutting down the myth is essential for protecting sellers. This supports honest ecosystem growth and prepares for Pi’s eventual Open Network transition.

Map of Pi 2.0 Set to Enable Full Payments

While the GCV debate cooled, excitement quickly shifted toward the upcoming release of Map of Pi 2.0. A major upgrade to the ecosystem’s largest commerce directory. The platform already hosts more than 140,000+ real Pi Network accepting merchants, 2 million users and over 100,000 verified reviews. The new version introduces full on-chain payments, built-in escrow and smarter search tools. 

Merchants will be able to list their stores in seconds and the system will support multiple languages. The upgrade is expected to make the commerce experience smoother and safer. Especially for first-time buyers using Pi Network for real-world purchases. Community members see Map of Pi as one of the clearest signs that Pi’s utility continues to grow, even before liquidity becomes available through exchanges.

Pi Leadership Stresses Utility Over Liquidity

The push for utility aligns with recent comments from Pi Network co-founder Dr. Chengdiao Fan, who spoke at TOKEN2049 in Singapore. She emphasized that Pi’s long-term value will come from real innovation and practical use cases, not speculation or price games. According to her, focusing only on liquidity risks repeats the failures of past Web3 cycles. This message has become a central theme in Pi’s strategy. The project continues to promote decentralized apps, merchant adoption and a global developer ecosystem as the primary drivers of value.

AI and Infrastructure Partnerships Strengthen Pi’s Vision

Community excitement also grew after Pi’s partners highlighted the network’s growing role in decentralized AI. OpenMind and Pi contributors said more than 350,000 nodes can already support AI-related workloads. While consuming 99.9% less energy than Bitcoin. 

This strengthens Pi’s positioning as a sustainable blockchain and a potential infrastructure layer for decentralized AI agents. As Pi Network prepares for major upgrades and continues its fight against misinformation. The network appears focused on entering its next chapter with clearer messaging, stronger tools and a renewed emphasis on real-world value.
