Moreover, amid the fanfare surrounding potential partnerships and the ecosystem announcement, many users remain frustrated that they still cannot fully access or transfer their PI tokens. This key step hinges on the Open Network rollout.

“If you don‘t allow users to launch, then this is simply a scam project. It’s unfair to Chinese users. For six years, you‘ve been deceiving the ecosystem’s development, even failing to deliver on hackathon rewards,” wrote one user on X.

Against this backdrop, users call out Pi Network for “playing hunger marketing games and still not allowing user launches.”

“A significant portion of your users are from China…They‘ve spent a lot of money deploying nodes, but those nodes are meaningless. You’re controlling everything through central servers — this is outright rogue,” they added.

This sentiment mirrors other community members feelings, expressing anger over perceived delays and a lack of transparency.

“As an old miner, we are looking forward to the disclosure of the specific time and details of the migration. This is more important than anything else. The great value of the future still depends on the construction of miners,” another user added.

Despite the criticism, optimism persists within the Pi community. Web3 project Dao World shared hopes for deeper collaboration at Consensus. Similarly, others highlight the event as a chance to boost trust and global recognition.

As Pi Network prepares to announce its next chapter, all eyes are on what happens in Toronto. Will this be the inflection point where Pi transitions from promise to utility, or will mounting user concerns overshadow its moment on the world stage？
